Free Investor Guide & Fees
Every step, timing and fee for setting up in Fiji, plus a documents checklist.
Request the guideCan a foreigner own 100% of a Fiji company?
In most sectors, yes. Some activities are reserved or restricted for foreign investors or carry ownership caps. We check your planned business against these rules before you start.
Do I need to be in Fiji to set up a company?
No. Registration, tax registration, Reserve Bank approval and permits can be done while you're overseas. You'll usually need to attend the bank in person to open your business account.
Why does my company need a local director?
The Companies Act 2015 requires at least one director who ordinarily resides in Fiji. Holding an investor permit does not meet this requirement. If you don't have one, we can provide one.
How long does setup take?
Most registrations take a few working days each once we have complete documents. Investor permits take longer. Your proposal sets out the timeline for each stage. Timing is set by the authorities.
How much does it cost?
Each stage has a set fee, confirmed in writing before work begins. Our free Investor Guide & Fees sets out each step and its fee. Request it and we'll email it to you, or send us your plans for a written quote.
