For Limited Liability companies (LLCs) similar to those offered in many domestic and offshore jurisdictions as an alternative for those clients wishing to operate along the lines of a partnership instead incorporation costs are $1,500. If you wish us to provide any nominees (such as officers) the charge is $300 annually per nominee which is payable in advance. Without nominee services the annual costs will be $650, the same as an Ordinary company
3. If you have either more than one company or a normal trust or foundation with a company for which we are providing nominee services, then our company fees for formation and annual representation as directors and/or officers will be discounted by 25%.

ESCROW FEES
As a licensed Fiduciary we can hold funds in escrow in respect of commercial transactions undertaken between parties. Our fees are based on a minimum charge of $1,000 or 0.375% unless the amount exceeds $3 million in which case the fee is negotiable. In addition, an administrative charge for processing the supporting documentation will be charged and unless complex this will be $500.
Where we manage a company we can prepare a simple trust deed for $450, with no annual or distribution fees, enabling a deceased client’s shares to be transferred to his heirs.
Our annual fee is calculated on 1/4 of 1% of the assets under management or $1,000, whichever is greater, up to $1 million. Upon request we can advise the fees charged for assets in excess of $1 million.
Out-of-pocket expenses will be additional to our annual fee and where special duties or complex activities are undertaken, extra fees may be payable commensurate with the degree of work and responsibility involved.
When a normal trust or foundation is either transferred or terminated there will be a fee of $500 charged, unless the process will be complex when additional fees will be raised.
Our minimum annual fee for serving solely as a Protector or Adviser for a trust or foundation is $1,000 and is subject to both the level of responsibilities and the value of the assets.
In those cases where we are asked to provide consulting services, our fee is $250 per hour or part thereof.
