Jurisdiction overview: British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands is one of the most well-known and respected offshore jurisdictions in the world. Thanks to its well-developed legislation, high level of confidentiality, and flexible corporate structure, BVI has become the international standard for registering holding, investment, and trading companies.
Company registration is available fully remotely and takes only a few business days. BVI companies are widely used for asset ownership, international trade, IPOs, IP structures, and family trusts. Despite its participation in some international agreements, BVI retains its reputation as a flexible and business-friendly environment focused on protecting the interests of owners.
The jurisdiction offers an ideal balance between confidentiality, international credibility, and tax exemption, while still meeting transparency standards required by banks and payment systems.
