from $ 2235 $ 1545

- BVI Business Company formation and all primary documents.

A simple setup with an acceptable minimum of services. Main advantages: low cost and direct operation. Main disadvantage: you will be seen running the offshore company from your own home. (Hint: Your domestic government may not like it.)
This package is designed for those lucky individuals, who live and work in a country where they can afford to be seen as directly owning and managing their own offshore company. This setup presumes a direct, hands-on operation of the IBC by the company owner. (!) Note – if you live in, or bear a passport of a high-tax country with an aggressive and efficient tax revenue service , this setup may be unsuitable for you.
The annual administration fees for this package, starting from the second year: $1700. This includes the $550 BVI government annual license fee, economic substance fee, mandatory registered agent service, filing of annual financial return and compliance fee for KYC review and update.
(!) The bank account is not included in this package. We recognize that many clients will prefer to open bank accounts with their own bankers, in geographical proximity to their area of operation. If required, our professional fee for a bank account introduction starts at $925. A number of selected offshore banks is available.

A comprehensive, “bullet-proof” package. It includes our in-house professional directorship, secretarial and business administration service, plus the shareholding service for enhanced confidentiality. The business administration service includes a BVI street address and fax number for the company, handling of commercial documents and correspondence, and a basic consultation for one year.
This package comprehensively deals with the most crucial tax planning question: “by whom, and from where is the company actually managed?”
In this setup, the company can demonstrate that it operates “at arm´s length” from its actual owner – as opposed to being technically operated from the owners´ home. This package is designed for the most demanding business engagements – for those clients, who can not afford to cut corners.
The annual management fee for this package is $3700, starting from the 2nd year. This includes the $550 government annual license fee, economic substance fee, registered agent, filing of annual financial return compliance fee for KYC review and update, licensed director, shareholder and secretary, business administration services and basic consultation for 12 months.

Why Register Yacht in BVI?

The BVI’s favorable tax regime, privacy laws, and efficient registration process make it an attractive jurisdiction. Establishing a BVI offshore company can simplify the yacht registration process, providing additional advantages and protections.

Much higher asset protection is best achieved when an IBC is used in combination with an offshore trust. Here the Seychelles trust would be used to hold shares in a BVI BC. This way, a legal additional level of confidentiality is achieved. Useful to know, that Seychelles Trust can be established having charitable or non-charitable purposes.
Why Seychelles Trust?
Seychelles law provides an excellent framework for asset protection trusts, making Seychelles offshore trusts a leading option for safeguarding your financial assets and planning for the future.
For more complex structures, additional Cyprus, Seychelles or BVI companies can be formed under the same Trust at additional fee.
