Everything you need to know before launching your business in Belize

There are no minimum requirements. Typically, the authorized capital is listed as 50,000 USD, but there is no actual requirement to deposit it.
IBC companies that do not operate within Belize are exempt from income tax, dividend tax, and capital gains tax.
Belize provides a high level of confidentiality: information about shareholders and directors is not published in the public registry.
Jurisdiction overview: Belize
Belize is a well-established international offshore jurisdiction widely used for cross-border business structuring, holding companies, asset ownership, online projects, and international contractual activities. Company registration in Belize is in demand among entrepreneurs who value confidentiality, flexible corporate regulation, a territorial tax system, and the ability to conduct business outside the country without local presence.

Company incorporation in Belize is carried out remotely through a licensed registered agent and typically takes 3–5 business days. The authorized share capital is declarative and does not require paid-up capital, which simplifies both business launch and ongoing corporate administration.

Feedback from our clients on Google
Thanks to Finextwin for their professionalism. We registered a U.S. company for marketplace operations, and everything was done remotely. We've already entered the American market - all thanks to Finextwin's help.
I needed help with an Anjouan license for a new online casino project. A colleague referred me to Finextwin, and I’m glad they did. Everything was organized quickly, I received a clear list of documents, and they handled all communication with the regulator. We had the license in just 3 weeks. Great support throughout.
I was referred to Finextwin by a colleague for urgent company registration in Singapore. From the first email to receiving all the documents, it took exactly two weeks. Everything was handled remotely with excellent support. Really impressed with their professionalism.
