European Trust | Vanuatu Offshore Financial Services

European Trust Company Limited is the oldest and highest capitalized trust company in Vanuatu. One of the core services we provide is providing company incorporation and management services, at which we have excelled for over 40 years. We also offer a complete range of other post incorporation financial services. If you decide to incorporate a company (be it an international company, insurance company, bank, trust, or local company) we can also help with the administration of the company once it is incorporated.

There are separate fee schedules for each of the following activities:

* International Company
* Trading & Holding Companies
* Licensed Banks or Insurance Companies
* Ship Owning Companies
* Trusts
* Executor or Administrator Services
* Nominee Accounts

Print and complete our incorporation request forms, fax or scan or email them with the appropriate payment. As soon as we receive cleared funds we will commence our due diligence procedures and if no issues, we will proceed with the incorporation of your company. Companies seeking licenses as banks or insurance companies must complete separate applications for these purposes – available on request – such applications must be approved by the Government, and this can take several months for the Reserve Bank to complete its due diligence.
