FAQ
To set up a BVI company, you'll need to provide the following documents for every shareholder and director of the company:
- a certified passport copy
- a certified copy of the second ID (e.g., drivers license or residence permit)
- a certified copy of the document confirming the residential address (utility bill, bank statement, or rental agreement) issued not later than 90 days prior to the company incorporation date
- proof of source of income (e.g., services agreement or employment contract)
- professional reference letter from a lawyer or accountant
- most recent CV
No, a local director is not required in the BVI.
No, you do not need a physical office in the BVI to incorporate a company. BVI companies can operate without a physical presence, as long as they have a registered agent and a registered office address in the BVI.
Information about BVI companies and their owners is generally not public. Beneficial ownership is not published in a public register, though certain disclosures may be required under international regulations like anti-money laundering laws.
The annual maintenance costs may vary depending on your particular business operations. The usual annual cost breakdown covers the registered office address, the registered agent, a compliance fee, the economic substance annual declaration, the annual return, a company renewal fee and a government fee. Every amount is listed under Annual Maintenance.
