A BVI Business Company can usually be incorporated within a few business days once we have the required due-diligence documents.

No. A BVI Business Company pays 0% corporate income tax in the BVI, and there is no capital gains tax or withholding tax. An annual government licence fee still applies.

Mostly not. Shareholders and beneficial owners are filed with the BVI Registrar but not made public. Since January 2025, though, anyone can ask the Registrar for the list of a company’s directors, so directors’ names are not secret.

BVI companies are widely used as holding companies, special purpose vehicles, asset-holding structures, and for international investment and joint ventures, thanks to their tax neutrality and flexibility.

At least one director and one shareholder — which can be the same person, of any nationality, and may be an individual or a corporate entity — plus a BVI registered agent and registered office, which we provide. There is no minimum capital requirement.

A BVI company must maintain a registered agent and registered office, pay an annual government fee (US$450 for most companies), and file an annual financial return (a balance sheet and income statement) with its registered agent within nine months of its year end. Depending on its activities, it may also need to meet economic substance requirements and file the related annual declaration. We manage these for you.

No. The entire process is handled remotely.

Certified passport copies and proof of address for each director, shareholder, and beneficial owner, along with the proposed company name and a description of the intended activities.
