How to incorporate your business company in the Cook Islands

Cook Islands Offshore company formation
A Cook Islands International Company (IC) or International Business Company (IBC) as it is referred to in other jurisdictions, is an offshore entity giving individuals and corporations numerous advantages such as security and tax planning benefits.
The Cook Islands are a total of fifteen islands located in the South Pacific, northeast of New Zealand and between American Samoa and French Polynesia. The Cook Islands offshore financial sector emerged in 1982 with the passing of the Cook Islands International Companies Act, which was later accompanied by an amending piece of asset protection legislation that is regarded as the most comprehensive and secure pieces of legislation in the world, firmly ensuring the assets of foreign Cook Island investors. Over the years, the Cook Islands government has, time and time again, supported its position as an offshore financial center, refusing to comply with foreign directives and court orders seeking to strong arm the local government and breech the impenetrable Cook Islands offshore structures. The last few years the Cook Islands, in order to comply with new international standards by the OECD and anti-money laundering directives, have had to institute several automatic tax agreements and reporting requirements. Companies incorporated in the Cook Islands enjoy structural flexibility and simple administrative procedures in a highly secure and confidential location. There are minimal reporting and regulating restrictions with comprehensive protective offshore laws that ensure client security. There are no other offshore jurisdictions that can boast of such extensive asset protection measures – the Cook Islands are truly the safest place in the world.

The Cook Islands also offers two other widely-used offshore formation products for their strong asset protection and security measures:

  • Cook Islands Trust
  • Cook Islands LLC
