The Company Incorporation Checklist is a document that outlines the necessary requirements to incorporate a business in the Cayman Islands.

To fulfil KYC requirements, shareholders and directors must provide personal questionnaires, government-issued photo identification, reference letters from banks and law firms or accounting firms, and company details such as a Certificate of Incorporation, Register of Members, Register of Directors, and annual reports. The document aims to ensure that all legal and tax requirements have been met and to facilitate communication between the company and the registered office provider.
