Introduction:

Set up a Cook Islands Company The Cook Islands’ Limited Liability Companies Act was enacted in 2008 to enhance its offshore sector offer. Following the model adopted in several U.S. States, a Cook Islands LLC is a flexible entity that allows to form its structure according to its operating agreement, rather than dictated by rigid legal statutory mandates. A Cook Islands LLC is a hybrid of both partnership and corporate structures, protecting LLC members from the debts incurred by the entity and separating the rights of its members and that of the LLC. Besides the aforementioned structural flexibility, Cook Islands LLCs benefits from confidentiality, no reporting requirements, and tax-exemption. The Cook Islands are an offshore financial destination distinguished for its asset protection laws, ensuring the assets of foreign Cook Island investors. A creditor cannot issue a charging order or interfere with the operations of an LLC nor seize, liquidate or force the dissolution of the company, any member of a Cook Islands LLC with a charging order can still act and exercise their rights as a member and any order that is a result of judgment in another location outside of the Cook Islands will not be enforced or recognized in the courts of Cook Island. A Cook Islands LLC used in conjunction with a Cook Islands International Trust, may be one of the best asset protection tools available worldwide.

In the Cook Islands, the two most common corporate structures are the International Company (IC), incorporated under the International Companies Act 1981-1982, and the Limited Liability Company (LLC), registered under the Limited Liability Companies Act 2008.
