Advantages of BVI Company Formation

BVI company formation is cost-effective and straightforward. There are no minimum capital requirements for BVI company formation.

BVI has one of the most flexible offshore corporate structures available to international business people.

A minimum of one director and one shareholder is required for BVI company formation. Corporate shareholders are permitted, and shareholders and directors can be of any nationality.

BVI was recently added to the OECD white list after complying with various OECD guidelines, and signing 16 TIEAs – tax information exchange agreements.

BVI company formation is an excellent way for entrepreneurs to legitimately book tax-exempt international profits.

There are minimal maintenance requirements following BVI company formation. A BVI company is not required to submit annual financial statements or tax returns to BVI authorities.

Healy Consultants can open corporate bank accounts around the world to support BVI company formation. Healy Consultants works with world class banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered and Citibank.

Disadvantages of BVI Company Formation

Following BVI company formation, an entity is not permitted own property or trade in the BVI.

Certain activities to be undertaken by a BVI company require a license (e.g. banking, insurance, trust management or investment advice services). For more information on BVI licensed business activity regulations, visit the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission.

Considerations for Offshore Company Formation

Offshore companies can be an ideal, tax-efficient vehicle for entrepreneurs to manage their international business. When selecting an offshore jurisdiction, it is important to evaluate variables, such as: i) its international reputation for conducting business; ii) legalities that govern investor activity; iii) the stability of its economy; and iv) the political stability of the market.

While offshore corporations can have the significant advantage of legitimately minimising tax obligations, there can also be the disadvantage of carrying the tax haven stigma associated with some jurisdictions.
