Accelerating global growth: The future of entity incorporation
Setting up a new entity can be a frustrating experience – endless emails, document scanning, plus a mountain of forms. The entire process can take up to a month, leaving those tasked with this job feeling frustrated and eager for a better way to get things done. Fortunately, there is a better way.
Introducing Vistra’s entity platform
We’re transforming the incorporation experience with our new technology platform. Our solution streamlines and expedites the entity setup process across four of the most commonly sought jurisdictions: Singapore (SG), Hong Kong (HK), the Cayman Islands (CAY), and the British Virgin Islands (BVI), with plans to add many more jurisdictions in the future. In just a few simple clicks, users can complete tasks such as document upload in minutes and fully establish an entity in under one week, compared to the previous month-long process.
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of incorporating an entity using the traditional method versus our global entity platform:
| Traditional global incorporation process | Vistra’s global entity platform | |

| Wait for the fee quotation and KYC requirement | ||
| Company name checking and reservation | ||
| KYC check for directors and stakeholders | Clients email necessary documents to their Relationship Manager (RM) | Stakeholders or a representative can upload documents to the platform for automated verification |
| Certificate of Incorporation | Download directly from the platform | |

| Payment | Bank transfer | Pay online |
| Average time to incorporate an entity | 3 - 4 weeks (case by case) | <1 week |
Leading innovation in offshore jurisdictions
As one of the top registered agents in offshore jurisdictions like the BVI and Cayman Islands, we believe it’s essential for us to lead in innovation. Right now, no other global service provider offers an online incorporation solution for these regions. Our global entity platform is the first of its kind, designed to free our clients from mundane tasks and administrative burdens, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: growing their businesses.
Looking ahead, we aim to integrate our platform with government registries, allowing users to quickly check company name availability and handle annual filings seamlessly. This will make the whole process even faster, easier and more user-friendly.
A global footprint with local expertise
While some local firms in mid-shore jurisdictions like HK and SG offer streamlined digital incorporation, they often lack the global reach and expertise that Vistra brings. Companies looking to expand in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region typically don’t start in just one jurisdiction; they often have a comprehensive regional strategy mapped out prior to execution.
At Vistra, we can support ambitious expansion plans by customising our solutions to meet clients’ specific needs, leveraging cutting-edge technology where it matters most. Our global presence, combined with our local knowledge, sets us apart as the ideal partner for businesses navigating the complexities of international expansion.
Our global entity platform provides freedom from mundane administrative tasks, whilst also putting our team of experts just a few clicks away for more technical support. So whether a user has questions about incorporation, needs compliance guidance, or seeks tailored solutions, Vistra empowers client choice to get the solution they seek in the way that best suits their needs.
Turn your global expansion plans into reality faster than ever
In a world where speed and efficiency are paramount, Vistra is leading the way in revolutionising entity incorporation. Our platform not only simplifies the setup experience but also empowers businesses to expand globally with confidence.
