UNDERSTANDING THE APPEAL OF THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS FOR OFFSHORE BUSINESS

The British Virgin Islands invited offshore company incorporation in 1984. Since then, it has become a flourishing business hub for businesses from all over the world. Being situated in a prime location in the Caribbean, it promises plenty of opportunity for business owners who want to travel to this region occasionally. It also has a good relationship with the US, making travel and communication between the two jurisdictions seamless.

This island archipelago has much to offer any business owner who seeks a streamlined setup and incorporation process with few formalities. Non-residents from any international country are welcome to register a BVI offshore company with just a few minimum requirements.

Probably the highlight for most is that the British Virgin Islands is a tax haven for offshore companies and provides confidentiality. This allows you as a business owner to enjoy exemptions from all types of tax, including sales tax, income tax, royalties and interests, and have peace of mind in terms of asset protection.

BVI does not require annual reports or account audits from offshore companies, so you can look forward to a simple company formation and incorporation process. All you need is a simple business structure of one director and one shareholder, a business licence and a registered agent for reliable accounting records. With so many perks and leniency for offshore companies, it’s no wonder so many are opting to register a BVI company.
