Incorporate a British Virgin Islands Company
|
|
|
|
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is generally regarded as the premier offshore corporate domicile. Tourist advertisements proclaiming the qualities of the British Virgin Islands generally refer to them as "nature´s little secrets."
However, largely due to its hallmark International Business Companies (IBC) Act of 1984, BVI is no longer a secret within the global financial community.
Take advantage of the profitable regulations proposed by the BVI to set up your offshore company.

The BVI is located in the Caribbean Sea, about 95 kilometers east of Puerto Rico, and consists of 50 islands. It´s population count is approximately 21,000. Its main island, Tortola, whose capital city is Road Town, houses almost half of the country´s population (13,500).
In recent years, BVI has developed into an international financial center.

Minimum Authorized Capita of BVI Company
|
|
|
There are no minimum capital requirements -- though we recommend to incorporate with an authorized share capital of USD 50,000 with a par value of USD 100. Higher capitals are also accepted: note that in these cases, the business license fee are increased.
Authorized Capital is not the same as Paid Up Capital, so this amount may not need to be produced.
Changing the amount of capital can also be done. For instance, you may increase your capital from USD 50,000 to USD 500,000 with the necessary license fee.

|
Procedure
|
|
|
Some of the incorporation fees of a BVI company are for the following procedures:
|
* Name check
* Preparation of Memorandum, Articles, and Registration Forms
* Filing with the registrar of companies
* Payment of filing fees
* Production of the Certificate of Incorporation
* Production of Share Certificates
* Production of Board Meeting Minutes
* Bank account creation
* Register of directors and shareholders
* 1-year registered office
* 1-year registered agent
* 1-year maintenance and offshore flat tax
|
Incorporation fees are calculated based on a capital of USD 50,000. For higher capitals, additional fees will be called for depending on the amount.
|
|
|
Renewal and Maintenance Fee
|
|
|
Though taxes are non-existent in tax havens such as the BVI, the government will require a renewal fee from each of its companies. This serves as the source of funds for the local government.
All government fees for the first year are already included in the aforementioned requirements. Subsequent years will call for an annual payment of a maintenance fee amounting to 790 EUR (inclusive of government fees and renewal procedure fees).
|
|
|
Time for Incorporation
|
|
|
Incorporation only takes two work weeks. Corporate documents will be delivered by courier one week after obtaining the Notary Public Certificate and Apostille.
