Frequently Asked Questions

What are the consequences for failing to maintain proper registers or governance records?
Failure to maintain accurate registers or governance records may result in fines, striking off and dissolution, and the loss of good standing. Additionally, non-compliance with substance legislation may lead to penalties, striking off and dissolution.
Do joint ventures require a new legal entity?
Not necessarily. Joint ventures may be established by incorporating a separate legal entity, such as a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership. Alternatively, they can be formed through contractual agreements without creating a new entity.
What happens to the company’s assets, liabilities, and contracts?
They remain unaffected. The legal identity of the company remains the same; only its place of incorporation changes.
What is a solvent liquidation?
A solvent liquidation, also known as a Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL), is the formal process of voluntarily winding up a company that is able to satisfy all its debts in full within a specified period, typically within 12 months.
Can a BVI company be re-domiciled to or from another jurisdiction?
Redomiciliation of companies into and out of the British Virgin Islands is permitted, subject to compliance with applicable local regulations
