Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Registered Agent, and is one required?
A Registered Agent is a BVI-licensed service provider responsible for incorporation and ongoing compliance matters. Appointment of a Registered Agent is mandatory for all BVI Business Companies.
Is there a requirement for contracts to be governed by BVI law?
There is no legal requirement for contracts to be governed by BVI law. Parties may freely choose the applicable law for their contracts—including, for instance, English law or New York law—and BVI courts will generally respect the parties’ choice of law, provided it does not contravene public policy.
How do I structure a joint venture or shareholder arrangement using a BVI company?
This is typically accomplished through a comprehensive Shareholders’ Agreement, supplemented by tailored Articles of Association. Engaging legal counsel is strongly recommended to ensure the enforceability and effectiveness of the arrangement.
What types of companies can redomicile into the BVI?
Generally, most types of foreign companies can redomicile into the BVI if their home jurisdiction allows continuation out and they are not subject to liquidation, insolvency, or winding up proceedings.
What are the key benefits of a Joint Venture
Joint ventures allow parties to share expertise and resources, access new markets, reduce risk, and combine strengths for specific projects.
