The gold standard in offshore fund domiciles — now with zero setup fees

No — Infra One charges zero setup and legal fees for Cayman fund formation. The platform covers entity formation, partnership documentation, digital investor onboarding with KYC/AML, and ongoing administration. CIMA registration support and annual compliance are included in the platform fee.

The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) regulates investment funds under the Mutual Funds Act and the Private Funds Act. Most closed-ended VC funds fall under the Private Funds Act and must register with CIMA within 21 days of accepting investor commitments. Registration involves filing prescribed particulars and paying an annual fee — it is not an approval process, so there is no delay waiting for regulatory sign-off.

The ELP formation itself takes 3 to 5 business days. Including legal documentation, service provider appointments, and investor onboarding, total time from engagement to first close is typically 4 to 6 weeks. CIMA registration can proceed in parallel with investor closings.

The Cayman Islands impose no income tax, capital gains tax, withholding tax, or corporate tax. An ELP is fully tax-neutral — there is no fund-level taxation and no tax on distributions to partners regardless of their residence. Funds can obtain a tax undertaking certificate from the Cayman government providing assurance of continued tax neutrality for up to 50 years.

Cayman is the world's most established offshore fund jurisdiction. Institutional investors — pension funds, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, and fund-of-funds — are familiar with its legal framework, regulatory regime, and service provider ecosystem. Cayman funds are governed by English common law principles, have well-tested case law, and are accepted by custodians and prime brokers globally.
