Incorporate in British Virgin Islands

Set up a BVI Company

The British Virgin Islands is one of the world’s largest offshore financial centers and a leading center for offshore company incorporation.

The British Virgin Islands has a strong offshore regulatory environment. They have a distinct combination of oversight and a laissez-faire approach which makes it both easy to do business – yet is also reputable with banks and other jurisdictions around the world.

BVI BC companies are commonly-used vehicles for offshore savings and investments, forex and stock trading, professional services, international trade, as well as a holding company, for ship and aircraft registration, captive insurance, and estate planning.

Our bank account opening service is not just a mere introduction to the bank. We assist you in filling out the business plan forms appropriately and help you understand and provide business details, commercial information, and purpose/use of the bank account that a given bank wants to know in order to approve your account application.

Banks want certainty and clarity on how the account will be used. Everything must be watertight. We will work with you to make sure there is minimal ‘back and forth’ and a smooth account opening process.
