What people use it for.
Holding company
Hold shares, IP or digital assets one step removed from the founder.
Deal SPV
A single-purpose vehicle for one investment or one trading book.
Fund vehicle
Start in a lighter fund category and move up as assets grow.
Token issuer
A common wrapper for a token issuance. Exchange and custody services are licensed separately.
Running it after day one.
A company is quick to open and still needs looking after. These are the recurring items, tracked from the same dashboard you formed it in.
Beneficial ownership
Ownership details are filed through the registered agent after incorporation and again whenever they change.
Annual return
A simple financial return goes to the registered agent each year. It is not audited and not published.
Economic substance
Each year the company reports whether it carries on an activity covered by the BVI's substance rules.
Annual renewal
The government fee and the registered agent renewal fall due every year. Late filings carry rising penalties and can end in strike-off.
Common questions.
No. Formation and the ongoing filings are handled online through the registered agent.
Directors appear on a register that can be searched. Shareholder and beneficial owner details are filed but are not available to the public.
It depends on identity checks and the local registry. We show an estimate before you pay.
Often, yes. Issuing a token is treated differently from running an exchange or custody service, which needs a licence. Take advice on your own project before you launch.
Looking at another jurisdiction?
General information only, not legal or tax advice. Rules, fees and timelines change and your situation may differ, so confirm the current position with a qualified adviser before you rely on it.
