FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Dominica company registration

No, the entire company registration process can be completed remotely from anywhere in the world. We handle all the paperwork and filings on your behalf, and provide nominee director services if needed. You only need to visit Dominica if you plan to open a traditional bank account in person.

For individual founders, we typically need:

  • Clear copy of your passport (color scan)
  • Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement less than 3 months old)
  • Completed KYC form with professional background

Yes, for federal corporations and most provincial corporations (except Alberta and British Columbia), at least 25% of directors must be Dominica residents. If you don't have a Dominica resident director, we can provide a professional nominee director service as part of our packages.

The standard processing time is 10–14 business days for federal incorporation and 1–5 business days for provincial incorporation (depending on the province). Expedited processing is available for an additional fee.

Yes, we can help you open accounts with fintech banks (like Wise, Payoneer, or Airwallex) completely remotely. For traditional Dominica bank accounts (RBC, TD, etc.), most banks require at least one director to visit a branch in person. We can guide you through both options.

The main ongoing requirements are:

  • Annual return filing (Corporations Dominica or provincial registry)
  • T2 corporate tax return (due within 6 months of fiscal year-end)
  • GST/HST filings (if registered, frequency depends on revenue)

Absolutely! A Dominica corporation is excellent for e-commerce businesses. You can sell to customers worldwide, and Dominica 's strong banking infrastructure makes it easy to process payments. We can also help you with GST/HST registration if your sales exceed $30,000 CAD annually.

Federal incorporation gives you name protection across Dominica and is preferred for businesses operating in multiple provinces or internationally. Provincial incorporation is faster and cheaper but only protects your name in that province. We can advise which is best for your situation.
