- We can offer corporate officers and directors or nominees to ensure full service
to clients. It is not necessary for the officers and directors to be BVI residents,
nor is it necessary for the officers to be directors of the company. Only 1 director
is required, although it is recommended that more than one officer be appointed
- International Business Companies (IBC's) are exempt from all local taxes and stamp
duty. In particular they are not subject to income tax, nor are dividends, interest,
income and other monetary benefits paid by an IBC to non-residents of the British
Virgin Islands. Upon the sale or transfer of the IBC's shares to a third person,
capital gains tax is not payable under BVI law. Furthermore, IBC's are not required
to file tax returns or any other type of report or declaration to this government
regarding foreign-source income.
- The name of the Company may be any name, which the client chooses. Please note, however,
that there are over 300,000 companies incorporated in the BVI, and therefore it is
possible that the desired name has already been taken.
