Scores 0–10: higher = more favourable for that criterion in the model (CFC reading: high score = weak/no CFC if you are tax-resident here).
Cost of operating
Band: High
- Setup (USD): $1000–2500
- Annual (USD): $1500–3500
Government formation fees look modest, but company secretary + address + mandatory annual audit dominate: common packages ~$1.5–3k/year for a simple co. All-in setup often ~$1–2.5k. The honest cost is recurring compliance, not the Companies Registry ticket.
