What makes the Marshall Islands interesting?
Choosing a jurisdiction for international business is like a game of chess. One wrong move – and your accounts are frozen. Meanwhile, taxes eat into your entire profit margin. Are you looking for a ‘safe haven’ governed by English law? One where the state doesn’t dip into your pocket and doesn’t demand mountains of pointless reports? Then registering a company in the Marshall Islands is a move that puts bureaucracy in checkmate.
The Marshall Islands is a sovereign state with a unique legal ecosystem. The latter is ideally tailored for international trade, ship ownership and asset protection.
Why are the Marshall Islands still a popular offshore destination for businesses?
Let’s be frank: traditional offshore jurisdictions are becoming increasingly rare. And the questions surrounding them are mounting. However, the Marshall Islands strike a balance between transparency for regulators and convenience for owners.
1. A tax haven without the quotation marks
An offshore company registered here is completely exempt from corporation tax. Provided, of course, that it does not conduct business within the country. You pay only a fixed annual fee to renew your status. You can easily plan your budget down to the last penny. Don’t worry about sudden tax audits!
2. Confidentiality that works
Information about beneficial owners is not public. It does not appear in the public register, giving you the necessary level of privacy. If desired, you can use a nominee service for shareholders and directors, which further protects your structure.
3. Flexibility in management
There is no need to assemble a board of ten people here. A Marshall Islands company can have just one member, who will act as both director and shareholder. Moreover, this member can be either an individual or a legal entity.
Setting up a company in the Marshall Islands: a step-by-step guide
Many people are put off by the idea of remote registration, imagining months of correspondence with officials. With Intelligent Solution Group, your personal journey to success looks very different. We take care of all the ‘administrative hassle’.
Five steps to setting up your business:
- Consultation and strategy. We don’t just ‘set up a company’. Rather, we analyse your objectives. Which bank will you choose? Do you need a nominal shareholder? We’ll agree on the working format with you.
- Document collection (KYC). We’ll help you ‘package’ the data so that the registrar doesn’t ask unnecessary questions. You will need scans of your passports, proof of address (a utility bill no older than 3 months) and a brief CV.
- Submission of the application. As soon as the documents have been checked, we submit them to the registration authority.
- Signing the forms. If you are using a nominee service, we will send you a power of attorney and an agreement to sign. You simply scan and send us the copies.
- Receiving the documents. In around 14 days, you become the legal owner of an international business. The originals (certificate of incorporation, articles of association, registers) are sent to you by DHL courier.

Should I fly to the islands?
No. The registration process is entirely online. All you need is internet access and a printer to sign the documents.
