Those fees are set by the St. Vincent and the Grenadines authorities, not by Expanship, and are passed on at cost; the rest of the price is our fee for advising you, preparing and coordinating your paperwork, and handling the incorporation on your behalf. Expanship is a private company, not a government agency. Whether a company is approved, and when, is decided by the authorities alone.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries about SVG company formation costs and what's included
For straightforward company formation without plans for external recognition—such as banking relationships or third-party platform registrations—the Basic package provides everything required to legally establish your SVG company. If you anticipate needing certified documents for international use, such as Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, and apostilled corporate documents, the Premium package bundles these at a substantial discount. Having clarity on your SVG company formation cost from the outset ensures you select the right option.
Premium encompasses all Basic inclusions plus documents that banks and platforms typically request: Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, and full notarization with apostille authentication. When establishing banking relationships or registering with international platforms for your SVG company, these certified documents are almost always mandatory. Choosing Premium upfront saves you US$500 compared to ordering these items separately post-incorporation. For businesses operating across borders, Premium delivers the strongest value proposition.
None whatsoever. We operate on a principle of complete transparency—the price shown is exactly what you pay. Our SVG incorporation packages are designed to be fully inclusive, eliminating uncertainty and unexpected charges. Building lasting client relationships begins with honest, straightforward pricing. Every cost is itemized clearly, and we never invoice for undisclosed extras.
Upgrades and additional services can be arranged anytime by reaching out to us, depending on your order's current stage. Downgrades aren't possible once processing begins, as we may have already incurred commitments on your behalf—including professional fees or government charges already submitted. We suggest selecting the package aligned with your foreseeable requirements from the outset to avoid complications.
Bank transfer is our preferred method for processing your SVG company formation payment, as it offers the smoothest experience. We also accommodate debit and credit card transactions for added convenience. Cryptocurrency payments are not currently supported. Upon confirming your order, we'll supply comprehensive payment instructions alongside your invoice.
Our pricing is already positioned competitively within the market—often among the most affordable options available. We maintain consistent pricing without resorting to misleading promotional tactics or hidden upsells. Our SVG company formation pricing reflects genuine value: quality service at fair rates designed for long-term business relationships. This commitment to honest pricing is precisely why we maintain firm package rates.
No. Expanship is a privately owned company. We are not a government agency, department, registry or regulator, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines or the Financial Services Authority (SVG). We advise you, prepare and coordinate your paperwork, and handle the incorporation on your behalf. Whether a company is approved, and when, is decided by those authorities alone.
Our own work: advice on the right structure, due diligence on every member, preparing and coordinating the incorporation paperwork, handling the incorporation on your behalf, and the first year of registered agent and registered office. The government fees are set by the St. Vincent and the Grenadines authorities, not by us, and are passed on at cost inside the package price.
