Get answers to common questions about cost of setting up a Marshall Islands company using Expanship
If you don't have any special requirements, or if you're not planning to have your Marshall Islands company recognised elsewhere—such as opening bank accounts or registering with other platforms—the Basic package makes the most sense, since it includes all the essentials to legally incorporate a company in the Marshall Islands. However, if you're looking for a hassle-free, all-around package that already includes frequently requested documents and certifications such as Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, and Apostille, we recommend opting for the Premium package. Understanding your Marshall Islands company cost upfront helps you make the right decision for your business needs.
The Premium package includes everything in the Basic package, plus frequently requested documents such as Certificate of Incumbency and Certificate of Good Standing, which will be notarized and apostilled. The importance of this becomes evident when you try to open a bank account for your Marshall Islands company or register with other platforms—they mostly require these documents, and often need them certified. By opting for Premium, you receive all these additional documents at a significantly discounted price, saving you US$400 compared to requesting them individually after incorporation. When evaluating Marshall Islands company fees, the Premium package offers the best value for businesses planning to operate internationally.
