Company registration in Curaçao is available to foreign investors and can be completed remotely. The most popular legal form is BV (Besloten Vennootschap) – a flexible limited liability company structure. Corporate income tax can be up to 22%, but companies engaged in international activities may benefit from exemptions or reduced tax rates under the e-zone or export model. Curaçao actively applies international compliance standards while remaining a reputable and business-friendly jurisdiction for building transparent yet optimized corporate structures.

Last year we switched our company to Finextwin and now we renew our Anjouan Gambling license with them. This was our best decision because long-term partnership and no hidden fees are important to us.
A business partner recommended Finextwin for company formation in Hong Kong. I worked directly with Alex - he was responsive, professional, and clearly knew what he was doing. The entire process took just a few business days. Top-notch service.
We urgently needed a company in the US to raise our first round of investment. Alex suggested registering in California. Everything went well. We received funding and all thanks to the Finextwin team.
