CAYMAN HOLDING BUSINESS

Economic Substance Solutions for Cayman Holding (HoldCo) Businesses

If your Cayman entity is “in-scope” regarding the newly established Economic Substance (“ES”) Laws and conducts the “Relevant Activity” defined as Holding Business: the business of a pure equity holding company [“pure equity holding company” means a company that only holds equity participations in other entities and only earns dividends and capital gains], then you have a reduced test to complying with the ES Laws.  NOTE: We urge all clients that have independently concluded that they are in the Holding Business to go through a professional evaluation of their business activities as several of our clients were informed by their advisors that they are in-fact classified as another Relevant Activity due to various financial and structural activities that occurred in the entity’s history.

WHAT WE DO

For a True or Pure Holding Business, we can help support your Registered Office with all the data collection, coordination, follow-up, document preparation and guidance required for filing the Economic Substance Notification (“ESN”) with the local regulators.
We charge a one-time de minimis fee to provide this service regardless of which plan is purchased when selecting Holding Business as the Relevant Activity.
