Choose your path to licensed.

Two ways in. The Preparation line gets your application prepared and submitted by us — pick the preparation speed that suits you. The Brand line bundles a matching preparation tier with the website, logo and identity work to launch you looking professional.

Preparation · licence prepLaunch Sale

Launch-sale pricing. Each price is a one-time application preparation fee — government fees are separate and not included. The service time shown is our preparation window in business days; it begins once your complete information and documents are available, and is never a promise of DCI approval. Every tier includes hands-off preparation, a document checklist, email support and live licence tracking.

FAQ

Common questions.

Once we have your complete information and documents, we prepare and submit your application within your chosen preparation window — 7, 5 or 3 business days. That window is our preparation time, not an approval time. After submission, the decision and its timing rest entirely with DCI; that part is outside our control and we don’t guarantee a date.
Government fees start at CI$75 (non-refundable processing fee). Many micro businesses qualify for a 100% licence fee waiver. Our service fee depends on application complexity — we always quote upfront with no surprises.
Yes — sole trader applications are reserved for Caymanians (including those with Caymanian Status). If you're not Caymanian and want to start a business in Cayman, you'll need to incorporate. We can help guide you to the right path.
Most sole trader categories — barbershops, salons, mechanics, retail, restaurants, catering, cleaning services, photography, and many more. Some categories trigger additional requirements (police clearance, health inspections), and we coordinate all of that.
Whatever you need. Our marketing team can build your brand and get customers through the door. Our compliance team handles your annual renewal. Or you can come back anytime you need help.
