Establishing a Dominica Company

Dominica repealed its former International Business Companies (IBC) regime in 2022. New companies are incorporated under the domestic Companies Act, with applicable corporate tax, accounting and reporting requirements. The historic tax-exempt IBC structure is not available for new incorporation.

01 / COMPANY TYPE

Domestic company limited by shares

A limited-liability company registered under the Companies Act. This is the current route for non-resident founders, rather than a new offshore IBC.

02 / MANAGEMENT

Shareholders & directors

Foreign ownership is generally possible. Shareholders, directors and beneficial owners must be identified and documented.

03 / LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Registered office & statutory compliance

A registered office in Dominica and appropriate incorporation documents are required, with accounting, corporate and tax compliance obligations.
