Business Corporation (BC)


Limited Partnership (LP)

Business Company (BC)

The Business Company, also known as the "International Business Company" or "Exempted Company", is the most popular and widely used type of company in BVI. This type of company is particularly suitable for international trade and structuring. The main features are:
(1) Privacy protection: The list of shareholders and directors of BC is not required to be publicly registered, which effectively protects the privacy of investors;
(2) Tax incentives: BC offshore companies do not have to pay corporate income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or stamp duty locally in BVI, which provides a convenient condition for enterprises to carry out tax planning.
Business Companies (BC) are suitable for international trade and structuring, offering strong privacy protection and tax benefits. 

Limited Partnership (LP)

A limited partnership is a partnership consisting of at least one general partner (GP) and one or more limited partners (LP). The General Partner has unlimited liability for the debts of the partnership, while the Limited Partners are liable to the extent of their capital contribution. The main features are:
(1) Separation of responsibilities: limited partners do not participate in the management of the enterprise and their responsibilities are limited to the amount of their own investment; while general partners assume more responsibilities and powers.
(2) Investment Flexibility: Limited partnerships allow partners to freely distribute profits and losses according to the partnership agreement, which is very favorable for investment activities such as venture capital and private equity.

Q&A Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I register my own BVI company?


No. The BVI government, in accordance with local law, authorizes a lawyer, accountant or trust company to act as a Registered Agent to perform the functions of incorporating a company, collecting annual fees, issuing certificates and providing related services on its behalf. The Registered Agent must be included in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the offshore company, and the address of the Registered Agent is the legal address of the company, and every company registered offshore must have a Registered Agent.

2. What are the requirements for registered share capital?


The standard number of registered shares for a BVI company is 50,000, with no limit on the par value of each share. If more than 50,000 shares are registered, the formation and annual fees will increase.

3. How can I check if a company is legally registered and exists?


A search of the BVI Companies Registry can be made by a statutory registered agent, solicitor or authorized body or a Certificate of Good Standing can be requested from the BVI Companies Registry through a professional body.
