Cayman Islands Foundation Maintenance

It is primarily used as a legal wrapper for Web3 projects, DAOs, token issuances, and private wealth succession planning because it can be legally structured to operate entirely without shareholders or members.

An orphan structure means the entity is not owned by anyone in the traditional shareholder sense. It exists to fulfil a specific purpose defined in its constitution, making it ideal for decentralized governance or holding protocol treasuries.

The service covers registered office provision, compliance reporting, ESN submission, Annual Return filing, beneficial ownership maintenance, and ongoing coordination for routine corporate governance requirements.

To remain in good standing, a foundation must maintain a licensed secretary and a local registered office, file an Annual Economic Substance Notification (ESN), submit an Annual Return, pay government levies, and keep beneficial ownership registers fully updated.
