Set Up Your Businessin Fiji — AlmostEntirely Remote
The only step that requires you to be physically in Fiji is opening your bank account. Everything else — company registration, tax, immigration permits — can be done from anywhere.
Register remotely. Bank in person. We handle both.
The process is confusing on purpose. It doesn't have to be.
Unclear costs. Conflicting advice on what needs travel. The fear of registering, then stalling for weeks. Most investors give up before they start — not because Fiji is hard, but because no one lays out the full path in one place.
A registered advisory firm
We are a registered advisory firm — not a directory or a lead broker. You work directly with the people handling your setup.
Offices in Nadi and Suva
On-the-ground presence in both major hubs means the one step that needs a physical presence — your bank account — is handled locally.
Registration through to banking
We handle the whole chain end-to-end: company registration, tax, permits and the corporate bank account. One team, one path.
Foreign investors, every industry
We work with foreign investors across all industries — tourism, trade, services, manufacturing — not just one narrow sector.

How land ownership and leasing works in Fiji.
Foreign investors operate with confidence once they understand Fiji's land system. Here is the essential picture — and the steps to secure a lease.
Land types & ownership caps
iTaukei (native) land
About 90% of Fiji's land. It cannot be sold — only leased, typically through the iTaukei Land Trust Board (TLTB).
State land
Government-owned land leased via the Department of Lands. Common for commercial and industrial sites.
Freehold land
A small share (~8%) that can be bought and sold. Foreign buyers face limits on residential freehold near town boundaries.
Foreign ownership caps
Foreigners generally cannot own residential land within municipal boundaries; commercial and investment leases remain open with approval.
Securing a lease — four steps
Identify the land type
Confirm whether the site is iTaukei, State or freehold — this sets the entire approval path.
Secure consent
TLTB consent for iTaukei land, or Director of Lands approval for State land.
Negotiate the lease
Agree term, premium and annual rent; commercial leases commonly run 30–99 years.
Register the lease
Register with the Registrar of Titles so your interest is legally protected.
Real setups, real sectors.
A snapshot of investors we've guided from first enquiry to an operating company in Fiji.
"They mapped every permit before we flew in. Our resort company was registered and banking-ready in weeks."
"The land-lease guidance alone saved us months. We knew exactly which consents we needed."
"As a first-time foreign founder I expected chaos. Instead it was one team, one clear path."
