How we built this
Every row comes from the live data behind our country pages. The starting price is our price in USD for the base registration service; banking, accounting and other add-ons are priced separately on each country page.
The corporate tax figure is the lowest rate available in each jurisdiction, for example through a free zone, an exemption for foreign income, or another special regime. The standard rate can be higher, and whether a company qualifies depends on where its income is earned, its activity and its structure, so treat them as a starting point and confirm with a tax advisor. Registration times are typical once your documents are complete; the registry sets the actual pace.
The table only includes jurisdictions we currently register companies in, and it updates when a country page changes.
