FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

General

Does my information be displayed publicly by the B.V.I. government?

There is no public directory in the BVI. Directors' and shareholders' details will not be made public under any circumstances.

The registers of company directors, shareholders, or beneficial owners should be kept at the address of the registered agent. The company has the option to file the information with the registrar for registration.

Are there any taxes in the BVI? Do I have to pay any taxes under my offshore company in the BVI?

when you set up an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), your International Business Company (IBC) enjoys a tax-free status for the profits it makes. This includes all income earned outside of the BVI. Your business is exempt from local taxes, making it one of the most sorted options for offshore company founders.

How can Vepapu help with forming and managing my offshore company in the British Virgin Islands?

Vepapu simplifies the journey of forming and managing your offshore company in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Our all-inclusive platform and expert services cover every step. We offer registered agent services, local business addresses, nominee director and shareholder options, and even accounting plans. With Vepapu, you'll navigate compliance seamlessly and manage your company effortlessly through our user-friendly online dashboard. Change company details, alter share capital, and more with ease. Your offshore success story starts with Vepapu, and we will ensure your journey is smooth and hassle-free.

What are the different company types or structures available in the BVI?

Below are the different forms of companies in the BVI:
1. A company limited by shares
2. A company limited by guarantee with or without shares
3. An unlimited company with or without shares

Management

Are there any accounting and auditing requirements for the BVI companies?

Companies are not required to provide financial documents when filing annual returns; hence, there is no need to do accounting and/or bookkeeping. Companies are not required to provide financial documents when filing annual returns.

If you want to have an accurate financial picture of your company, you can opt for an accounting and bookkeeping plan from Vepapu. This makes your journey very simple, transparent, and data-driven.

Are there any annual filing or return submission requirements in the BVI?

Every year, your company needs to pay a fee (which depends on the authorized share capital of the company) to the government.
1. For BVI offshore company authorized to issue no more than 50,000 shares, the renewal fee is US$550;
2. For BVI offshore company authorized to issue more than 50,000 shares, the fee is US$1,350.
This is to keep your company's records up-to-date and legal. You also have to send a report to the Registrar, which is like the official keeper of records. In this report, you say that no changes, other than ones already notified to the Registrar, have been made to the Memorandum of Association, and no business has been carried out within the country. This keeps everything transparent and in line with the rules.

We make sure that you don't miss these steps, so your business can run smoothly without any issues. We will inform you of these encounters at least 2 months in advance, which gives you flexibility to take actions easily on the Vepapu dashboard.

What ongoing compliance requirements do I need to fulfil for my BVI offshore company?

First, you need to keep your local registered agent and registered address in place. This helps keep your company's official records accurate and accessible.

Also, you have to pay an annual fee. This fee is based on the authorised share capital of the company. This keeps your company compliant with the BVI rules and regulations.

Are there any obligations to conduct Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the British Virgin Islands?

No, a BVI Exempted Company isn't required to hold an annual general meeting (AGM) as per the Companies Law. But if the company's Articles of Association say it should or if most of the Board of Directors agree, then an AGM can happen. It's not a must, but it's possible if you want to have one.

How much does it cost to maintain a company in the BVI?

The maintenance costs include the following:
1. Annual fee (depends on the authorised share capital of the company); and
2. Registered Agent fee.

Directors

Does my company need local directors or shareholders?

No, there is no need to have local directors or shareholders to form your offshore company in the BVI. A company must have at least one director in the company, but it can be yourself irrespective of your country of citizenship, origin, or residence.

Optionally, you can use Vepapu's Nominee Director and/or Nominee Shareholder services to hide your identity in your company formation documents as well.

Can a foreigner or a foreign company register a company in the BVI?

Foreigners can set up companies in the BVI, and 100% foreign ownership is not only allowed but encouraged by the government. Foreigners can easily set up a company as there are minimum requirements for setting up a company in the BVI, such as no residency requirements for directors.

What is the minimum number of directors or shareholders required to form a company in the BVI?

A minimum of one director or shareholder is required to form a company in the BVI. No specific requirements on the locality or qualification of directors or shareholders exist. A member of a BVI company can be a natural person or a corporate body. Especially, a corporation can be the UBO (ultimate beneficial owner) only if it is listed publicly.

Incorporation

How long will it take to incorporate a company in the BVI?

Normally, it takes about 2 to 4 working days from when all the required documents are in place to be filed for your company's formation with the Registrar.

What documents are required to form a company in the BVI?

1. Notarized / Certified true copies of valid passports for all directors/shareholders; and
2. Notarized / Certified true copies of residency proofs for all company directors and shareholders (i.e., utility bill or credit card bill).

These are the general documents needed for your BVI offshore company's formation.

How much does it cost to form a company in the British Virgin Islands?

The government fee for setting up a BVI Company is dependent on the authorised share capital of the company. For example, for BVI company authorised to issue no more than 50,000 shares, the incorporation fee is US$550 and for BVI company authorised to issue more than 50,000 shares, the incorporation fee is US$1,350.

While completing the company formation procedure with Vepapu, you can go through our transparent pricing before you commit anything. There will be no additional or hidden costs associated with forming your company in the BVI while working with Vepapu.

How to name a company in the BVI?

An International Business Company (IBC) in the British Virgin Islands needs a name that ends with terms like Limited, Corporation, Incorporated, and more, or their shorter forms. Also, the name can't be the same or like an existing company's name. Plus, it can't hint at being connected to the Royal Family or the Government of the British Virgin Islands. This keeps things clear and distinct.

We've got you covered; we offer unlimited name checks with the BVI. So, if your preferred name is available, you're all set.

Do I need to obtain any business licenses in the BVI?

Yes, there are certain business activities in the Cayman Islands that need a license from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA). These activities include things like banking, building society, savings, loans, insurance, assurance, reinsurance, fund management, investment funds, trusts, trustees, Chamber of Commerce, universities, municipal or their foreign language equivalents. Some businesses are required to be licensed by the Financial Services Commission like banking, insurance, trust, fund management, investment business, etc.

What is the minimum registered capital or authorized share capital in the BVI?

There's no required minimum registered capital for your BVI company. Typically, the authorised capital is set at US$50,000.
