Why Register a Company in Antigua?
Antigua and Barbuda is a well-established offshore jurisdiction recognised for its modern corporate legislation, political stability, and international accessibility. It is particularly suited to international business companies (IBCs) operating across borders.
Key Advantages
- Business-friendly corporate framework under Antigua corporate law
- No local residency requirement for directors or shareholders
- Recognised offshore jurisdiction with OECD-aligned standards
- Competitive tax environment for qualifying international activities
- Efficient company registry and clear incorporation process
Antigua is a regulated, credible international business centre, suitable for long-term structures rather than short-term schemes.
Types of Companies You Can Register in Antigua
Antigua International Business Company (IBC)
The Antigua International Business Company (IBC) is the most widely used structure by non-resident entrepreneurs and international investors. It is designed for businesses operating outside Antigua and Barbuda and is governed by the country's offshore corporate legislation.
IBCs are commonly used for:
- International trading and export activities
- Consulting and professional services
- Holding intellectual property or investments
- Asset protection and group structuring
An Antigua IBC cannot carry on business with residents of Antigua unless it obtains the relevant local licences. Depending on the nature of its activities, it may also be subject to economic substance requirements, which Leadforce assesses and structures correctly at the outset.
A Limited Liability Company is generally used for specific commercial arrangements, joint ventures, or structures requiring a more flexible internal management framework. Liability is limited to the company's assets, offering protection to members while allowing tailored operating agreements.
This structure is suitable where:
- Partners require defined profit-sharing arrangements
- Operational control needs to be clearly documented
- The business model does not fit a standard IBC framework
Antigua is frequently used to establish holding and asset protection companies within international group structures. These entities are structured to hold assets rather than conduct active trading.
They are commonly used for:
- Intellectual property ownership
- Shareholding in international subsidiaries
- Investment and wealth structuring purposes
These companies must still meet regulatory, reporting, and economic substance obligations where applicable.
Leadforce structures each entity in strict accordance with Antigua offshore regulations and international compliance standards, ensuring your company remains legally sound, defensible, and fit for long-term use.
Is Antigua a Tax-Free Jurisdiction?
Antigua is often described as "tax-efficient," but accuracy matters.
Antigua Tax System for Companies
- International Business Companies are generally exempt from local income tax on qualifying offshore income
- No capital gains tax for IBCs on foreign-sourced income
- No withholding tax on dividends paid to non-residents
- No currency exchange controls
However:
- Companies must comply with economic substance requirements where applicable
- Improper tax claims or misrepresentation can lead to penalties
Leadforce ensures your structure is lawful, defensible, and compliant, not aggressive or misleading.

How Company Registration in Antigua Works With Leadforce
Initial Consultation & Structure Confirmation
The process begins with a one-to-one consultation to confirm whether Antigua and Barbuda is the right jurisdiction for your business. Leadforce reviews your intended activities, ownership structure, and compliance profile to determine the most appropriate setup—most commonly an Antigua International Business Company (IBC)—while ensuring alignment with Antigua corporate law and offshore regulations.
Name Availability, Due Diligence & Compliance Review
Once the structure is agreed, your proposed company name is checked with the Antigua and Barbuda company registry. At the same time, all directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners complete a mandatory KYC and due diligence review, including identity verification and proof of address. This step ensures full compliance with Antigua offshore regulations, anti-money laundering standards, and international best practice.
Preparation of Incorporation Documents
Following compliance clearance, Leadforce prepares all statutory incorporation documents. This includes the Memorandum and Articles of Association, statutory registers, and the appointment of a licensed Antigua registered agent and registered office, as required under local law. All documentation is prepared accurately and reviewed before filing.
Incorporation & Filing With the Company Registry
The completed documents are submitted to the Antigua and Barbuda company registry for formal registration. Leadforce manages the entire filing process, liaising with local authorities to ensure the application meets all legal and procedural requirements without delay.
Certificate of Incorporation & Post-Setup Support
Once approved, the registry issues the official Certificate of Incorporation, confirming that your company has been legally registered in Antigua and Barbuda. Leadforce then supports you with post-incorporation requirements, including banking preparation, compliance guidance, and ongoing advisory support, depending on your chosen package.
The entire company registration process in Antigua is handled remotely, allowing non-resident entrepreneurs and international investors to incorporate efficiently without travelling or dealing directly with local authorities—no unnecessary complexity, and no rushed shortcuts.
