Why founders like Cayman Islands exempted companies

A Cayman exempted company can be incorporated with a minimum of one director and shareholder and they do not need to be resident in the Cayman Islands.

The application process is done online, and all documents can be signed digitally using DocuSign. There is no requirement for any parties to be physically present in the Cayman Islands for the incorporation process. The company is typically incorporated within 5 to 7 days.

The Cayman Islands is a tax-free jurisdiction. There is currently no corporate, income, capital gains or any other tax on money earned outside the territory.

There is no minimum share capital and no maximum number of shares or shareholders. There is no restrictions on the nationality of the shareholders.
