FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions on appointing a registered agent for British Virgin Islands (BVI) offshore company formation and ongoing management

What is a registered agent, and why do I need one for my offshore company formation in the British Virgin Islands?

A registered agent in the BVI serves as the official liaison between an offshore company and local authorities. They receive legal documents, notices, and correspondence on behalf of the company. Having a registered agent is essential for offshore company formation in the BVI as it ensures compliance with local regulations, facilitates communication with government agencies, and provides a physical presence for legal matters.

Is a physical presence required for the Registered Agent in the British Virgin Islands?

The British Virgin Islands require a registered agent to have a physical presence within its country's jurisdiction to fulfil the legal requirements and have obtained relevant permissions and licenses to offer company management services to BVI companies. However, with Vepapu's Registered Agent service, you are ensuring your company's compliance from anywhere in the world, completely remotely and online.

Is my company's information with the registered agent confidential in the BVI?

Yes, the information provided to the registered agent is typically treated as confidential and subject to strict privacy and data protection laws in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Registered agents are bound by confidentiality obligations and must not disclose company information to third parties without authorization, except as required by law or regulatory authorities.

What happens if my company's registered agent resigns or becomes unable to fulfill their duties?

If your company's registered agent resigns or becomes unable to fulfil their duties, you must appoint a replacement registered agent promptly to avoid any disruptions in communication or compliance. The British Virgin Islands (BVI) Companies Law requires companies to maintain a registered agent at all times, and failure to do so may result in penalties or the company being struck off the register.

Gone are those days when it used to cost around $10,000 to hire a local registered agent in the British Virgin Islands. Thanks to Vepapu's efforts and transparency, you will get your BVI company incorporated, appoint a registered agent, and add a local registered address from just around $1,500.

Can I act as my company's registered agent, or is it required to appoint a third-party service in the BVI?

In the British Virgin Islands (BVI), companies formed offshore are required to appoint a licensed third-party service provider as their registered agent who can offer company managemen services to BVI companies. While individuals may hold various roles within the company, such as director or shareholder, the registered agent must be a designated entity authorized to represent the company before local authorities. This requirement ensures compliance with legal obligations and facilitates efficient communication with BVI regulatory bodies.

Can I change my company's registered agent in the British Virgin Islands?

Yes, companies in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) have the flexibility to change their registered agent if needed. The process typically involves filing the necessary paperwork with the relevant authorities and notifying the current registered agent of the change. It's essential to follow prescribed procedures and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements to avoid any disruptions in communication or compliance matters.

Can a registered agent assist with the transfer of a BVI company's ownership or management?

While registered agents in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) primarily handle administrative tasks and legal correspondence, they may offer additional services related to corporate governance, including facilitating the transfer of ownership or management of offshore companies. This assistance may involve drafting and filing relevant documents, updating corporate records, and liaising with regulatory authorities to ensure smooth transitions in ownership or management structures.

What happens if my company fails to maintain a registered agent in the British Virgin Islands (BVI)?

Failure to maintain a registered agent in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) can have serious consequences for an offshore company.
