Shareholders
Why would I need this?
Shareholding service
You need the shareholding service if you do not wish to be directly listed as shareholder in the primary documents (First Resolutions) of the company.
Instead, our in-house licensed firm will remain listed as the shareholder, on your behalf and for your benefit. You will receive a fiduciary declaration from us, in evidence of this relationship.
The protection provided by the shareholder service is not absolute. The identity of the actual beneficial owner may be disclosed, if ordered so by the BVI Supreme Court or by the BVI Financial Investigations Agency.
Why would I need this?
Seychelles International Trust
Under the trust laws of Seychelles, neither the settlor nor the beneficiary of a trust are considered legal owners / controllers of trust property. The trust property remains legally separated from the initial settlor and the beneficiary(ies). This separation allows this property to remain protected from potential lawsuits and attacks by creditors. Seychelles International Trusts are well-suited for such asset-protection purposes, in particular because trust property and income are entirely tax-exempt in Seychelles.

Why is this required?
It is a mandatory requirement for all IBCs in BVI to file a Register of Shareholders with the Registry of Corporate Affairs. (BVI Business Companies (Amendment) Act, 2024).
This register has to contain detailed information including - full name and if any former name(s) (unless the former name was changed by deed poll or other legal means or disused for more than 10 years), residential address, address for service, date of birth, nationality, occupation and dates when the shareholder was appointed and/or ceased to act. Similar information is required from all corporate shareholders.
A company retains the option of indicating to the Registrar that its filed register of members should be publicly accessible. However, in the absence of this instruction, the standard position is that a company’s register of members that is filed with the Registrar, will only be made available to the following persons: a) the company or its registered agent, and b) domestic competent authorities and law enforcement agencies in the lawful discharge of their responsibilities.
Capital
Why is this standard?
A standard registered capital
is the maximum capital (or number of shares) at which the minimum Government fee still applies. In BVI, that maximum is 50'000 shares, at which the Government registration fee of USD 550 applies. For companies having 50'001 and more shares, the Government registration fee leaps to USD 1350. Whether those shares have a face value or no-par-value, is irrelevant under the BVI BC Act. Therefore, potentially the most price-effective share structure for a BVI BC is to have 50'000 shares at no-par-value.
What are par-value/no-par-value shares?
Par-value shares / no-par-value shares.
A par-value is a nominal value (price) of a share, also known as „face value”. Traditionally, the par-value of a share is considered as the minimum price for which the share can be issued or sold. In contrast, a no-par-value share does not have any fixed nominal value - in recognition of the fact that the price of the shares may fluctuate freely depending on the success of the company. No-par-value shares provide more flexibility to the company principals at raising the initial capital.
Why would I need this?
Corporate directorship service(BVI-based, regulated firm)
You need the professional directorship service to avoid being seen as directly managing and controlling an offshore company.
This may be especially important if you live in a high-tax country. Through this service, the company will be seen as managed in the BVI.
The corporate directorship service means that the directorship function is provided by our in-house management firm, which is regulated and licensed by the BVI Financial Services Commission.
A corporate director features a number of individuals entitled to sign, which eliminates any potential lapses in service, as compared to individual directorship service. This option is also less expensive than a directorship by a regulated private individual.
Why would I need this?
Personal directorship service(BVI-based, licensed individual)
You need the professional directorship service to avoid being seen as directly managing and controlling an offshore company.
This may be especially important if you live in a high-tax country. Through this service, the company will be seen as managed in the BVI.
The individual directorship service is provided by a BVI-based, licensed individual - one of our senior company managers. An individual director appears more “natural” than a corporate director. However, an individual director may not always be available to act instantly - for example, in case of illness or travel.
Why is this required?
It is a mandatory requirement for all IBCs in BVI to file a Register of Directors with the Registry of Corporate Affairs. (The BVI Business Companies (Amendment) Act 2015).
This register has to contain detailed information including - full name and if any former name(s) (unless the former name was changed by deed poll or other legal means or disused for more than 10 years), residential address, address for service, date of birth, nationality, occupation and dates when the director was appointed and/or ceased to act. Similar information is required from all corporate directors.
As of January 1st, 2023 list of directors is available for public inspection through the BVI online registry system (VIRRGIN). This search function is offered as a paid service. The information available will be limited to the names of current directors - other personal information, such as dates of birth and addresses will not be included.

Professional fee for preparation, execution and filing of an account application outside BVI.

Why would I need this?
Account signatory service
Kindly note that when we act as director we require that we sign as either sole signatory or joint signatories on all of the Company's bank account(s).
The above is in safe keeping with our BVI due diligence requirements and four eyes policy as director. Under BVI Law the directors are seen to run the day to day affairs of the Company and can be held liable for money laundering, drug trafficking, terrorist financing and mis-management of Company funds just to name a few.
A key benefit of our account signatory service is that it helps reinforce the perception and reality of “local mind & management,” which can be especially advantageous for companies owned by individuals residing in high-tax jurisdictions. By placing account control with a BVI-based, licensed individual — one of our senior company managers — this service can help reduce the risk of your offshore company being seen as directly managed or controlled from your country of residence. It enhances the overall substance and governance of your structure, while your rights as Beneficial Owner remain protected under the fiduciary services agreement. Both sole-signatory and additional-signatory arrangements are available.
Services
Do I need this?
Business address and document management
If you plan to run an active trading or services business you will probably need this. If you are located in a highly regulated, high-tax country, you must not be seen as running an offshore company from your own home. This service aims to satisfy the “mind and management” test by providing real on-site domestic substance for the company located in BVI.
Do I need this?
Call handling
If your potential clients, partners, auditors, tax inspectors, competitors or any other people are expected to call your company with inquiries you will need this service. It is designed to verify that your company is actually located and operated in BVI - instead of being simply run from your own home.
Documents
Do I need this?
Apostilled set of copies of primary documents
It is recommended to prepare at least one set of notarized/apostilled copies of primary documents, because it is the most convenient way of presenting the corporate documents to banks, potential customers, suppliers, business partners or government institutions. It is especially recommended to prepare such set of certified/apostilled copies if the documents are expected to be used in any of the countries, who are members to the 1961 Hague Convention.
Do I need this?
Apostilled original certificate of incorporation
You may be required to present an apostilled original Certificate of Incorporation when doing business with some banks or some government institutions. If so, this option will be required.
Do I need this?
Through a Limited Power of Attorney, you, or anyone else, can be granted certain limited rights to represent the company. For instance, the powers to negotiate and conclude one specific purchase, to perform customs-clearance of goods in one certain location, to register a foreign subsidiary, to operate one specific bank account, etc. Limited Powers of Attorney can be issued as, and when necessary to company employees, agents or to the owners themselves.
Do I need this?
The Certificate of Good Standing (CoGS)
This document is used to formally confirm the continued legal existence of an offshore company after some time has already passed since it's registration. The Certificate of Good Standing confirms that the status of an independent legal entity (a juridical person) has not been revoked or became void for the particular offshore company, that this company has not been merged, filed for dissolution, or been struck-off.
A current Certificate of Good Standing is sometimes required by banks for bank account opening. If the document is intended for use in a country other than the country of company registration, it must be legalized by apostille.
Do I need this?
A certificate of incumbency
A document that identifies the current signing officers, directors, shareholders and other individuals authorized to represent the company. It is especially relevant in jurisdictions where this information is not part of public record. A Certificate of Incumbency is usually issued by the secretary or by the registered agent of the company.
A current Certificate of Incumbency is usually required by banks for bank account opening. Therefore, if you intend to open a bank account for your company, it is recommended to order the Certificate of Incumbency along with the initial incorporation documents. If the document is intended for use in a country other than the country of company registration, it must be legalized by apostille.
Delivery
Why would I need this?
Instead of keeping confidential and sensitive original documents at your home, you may choose to leave them in safe custody with the Registered Agent. Scanned electronic copies can be provided at any time, or the original documents can be couriered out at request.
Complex structure compliance fees
Compliance fee is charged for companies involving multiple owners and complex control structures, such as those with corporate shareholders or directors. The compliance fee is not charged for simple structures.
