Advantages and Disadvantages of Registering a Cayman Company

Profit

  • Cayman has a stable political, economic and trade environment;
  • Possess good financial and legal facilities;
  • The Cayman government protects the interests of shareholders and does not disclose the identities of beneficiaries;
  • The government encourages economic development and attracts foreign investment. One person can register a limited company.
  • The government provides privacy protection for enterprises. The information of directors and shareholders is kept highly confidential and never disclosed to the public.
  • Freedom of naming, allowing the use of multiple national company endings;
  • There is no upper limit on registered capital and no stamp duty is required;
  • There are no restrictions on business scope and no foreign exchange controls;
  • There is no need to issue an audit report, just keep the data to reflect the economic status;
  • Profits from offshore operations are not subject to profits tax.

Disadvantages

  • First, there is no need for small and medium-sized enterprises to go through the trouble of registering in the Cayman Islands. Large companies register in the Cayman Islands partly because they already have a large enough domestic market and are ready to enter Nasdaq to achieve a roundabout overseas listing. However, small and medium-sized enterprises do not need to do so.
  • Thirdly, companies registered overseas may not be able to enjoy corresponding government subsidies. For example, when Hyundai Motor first started selling in China, the government subsidies were very large; but if it was registered overseas, there would be no such subsidies because the tax rate is low.
  • Finally, it weakens the national brand consciousness. For example, when Samsung of South Korea was preparing to go public on NASDAQ, it registered in Cayman, but the domestic response was very strong, so it moved the company back to the country. It can be seen that South Korea has a very strong national brand consciousness. Therefore, registering in China can also strengthen national consciousness and enhance brand recognition to a certain extent.
