Our Journey

Founded in 1974, IMS Cayman has been at the forefront of offshore financial services, providing innovative solutions tailored to our clients' needs. Our mission is to empower individuals and businesses by delivering exceptional fund governance and fiduciary services.

Since 1974, International Management Services Ltd. (IMS) has delivered trusted governance, captive insurance, and corporate administration services in the Cayman Islands. Our early work in private client services quickly expanded into insurance and shipping, with our first captive formed in 1975, still active today.

As the financial industry evolved, so did we. IMS secured license's for trust and fund administration, and played a founding role in establishing the Cayman Islands Company Managers Association and the Cayman Islands Directors Association. Today, our services also include Web3 and digital asset support, restructuring and liquidations, and vessel registration.

Our team brings decades of legal, financial, and regulatory experience to every engagement. Clients choose IMS for our independence, reliability, and commitment to doing business with integrity, backed by a legacy of steady, hands-on expertise.
