Applying for an LLC License

Sections 12 and 25 of the LLC Act 2016

Search help and information

The Limited Liability Company Act 2016 mirrors the company license regime, with its own section numbers.

Local LLCs, section 12

A local LLC whose Bermudian control is below sixty per cent may apply for a license to carry on business in Bermuda. The application is made under section 12, and the granting and revocation of the license are dealt with in section 13.

As for a local company, advertise not less than seven days before applying, in an appointed newspaper. Section 14 provides for the fees payable by a licensed local LLC.

Exempted LLCs, section 25

Section 24 restricts what an exempted LLC may do in Bermuda, on the same pattern as section 129 for exempted companies. Section 25 provides for a Ministerial license to carry on business here.

Ministerial exemption under section 11(7)

An exemption is not a license
Under section 11(7) the Minister may by order exempt a local LLC from the sixty per cent requirements altogether. That is a different instrument from a license under sections 12 and 13, and there is no company equivalent.
