Overview of BVI Company

 

British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a group of about 40 islands. It takes approximately 25 minutes flying time from east of Puerto Rico where situated between the Atlantic and the Caribbean. Being a member of the British Commonwealth, BVI applies a legal system based on English Common Law (its Business Company Law includes some terms in Delaware Law), which operates in concert with local acts.

 

Because a BVI company is not required to pay tax, nor bound to foreign exchange controls, and information for submission for filing requested by local government is minimal, many multinational companies and persons are attracted to register BVI companies. At present, BVI has become one of the most popular places globally for offshore registration.
