The secret to a successful business is a reputable jurisdiction: BVI company formation
When discussing corporate services at an international level, we need to find the most flexible jurisdictions and the most effective ones when it comes to profit, tax savings, and operational scope.
This month, the editorial team turned to Mundo’s experts asking about the most sought-after country to establish companies abroad.
Their answer was quick. They didn't have to think much when they told us this jurisdiction is the BVI. This is why we decided to explore BVI company formation in this month’s corporate publication.
Establish a business in BVI
The Mundo team processes many residency and citizenship applications, trust establishments, bank account openings, and corporate registries. They told us that the company formation that people choose the most is BVI. Understanding why this is a popular choice may help others who are still in search of the best alternative.
On many occasions, we have established the importance of choosing correctly because in this very choice lies the seed of what your business will be like. It's important to understand what to look for. This is why we've recently published an article on corporate essentials and the four pillars of a strong global business.
In this article and many others, we stress the importance of a reliable jurisdiction. The ideal place must be without a history of left-wing governments, and economic and political stability is a must-have.
When it comes to the economy, it's important to look for stable jurisdictions, hopefully those with strong currencies. In this regard, we can recommend Panama because it has a dollarized economy. Here, inflation is practically inexistent, and the currency depends on the Federal Reserve, which is as safe as it can get.
BVI corporate formation advantages
The British Virgin Islands is also a jurisdiction we can rely on, especially because of its healthy financial environment.
Those who decide to incorporate abroad will find an important perk: flexibility. Corporate regulations here allow business owners to set up their companies according to their needs and in the pursuit of specific objectives. Hence, a business in BVI can be oriented toward different models.
A company structure is vital when it comes to every stage of the process: incorporation, maintenance, and operations. Here the law requires only one director, one owner, and one shareholder, and these can be represented by only one person. It doesn't get any more flexible than the possibility of covering all these fronts with one member. Also, the directors and shareholders don't necessarily have to hold a meeting in the BVI. Finally, there's no requirement to hold a mandatory annual general meeting.
Another key pillar in corporate is profitability. In this regard, tax efficiency becomes key. BVI incorporation is interesting from a taxation point of view, because it's exempt from all the most important taxes. This includes rents, interests, dividends, royalties, and capital gains. When it comes to passing on the assets, that is, inheritance, succession, or gifs, taxes are not applied.
On many occasions, having a business in BVI has been seen as an asset protection approach. The country offers the possibility of designing structures tailored to personal needs. Among other things, this helps manage and protect wealth for future generations.
Why BVI incorporation is so successful
Coming back to the beginning of the article, it's interesting to understand why so many people are turning to this jurisdiction for safe corporate activities. The advantages of flexibility, asset protection, and tax exemptions are unquestionable, but they're not the main reason for the jurisdiction's success.
Generally, BVI is seen as a reputable country. It is more regulated than other jurisdictions, a fact that simplifies many operations. Banks will be more willing to cooperate with a company registered in a regulated environment which translates into faster transactions and less paperwork.
Thanks to the BVI's solid legislation and commitment to complying with international standards, the country is seen as a reputable place and a sought-after destination. Add to this the above-mentioned advantages, and you've got a powerful combo: the typical financial benefits (similar to former offshore countries) and a reputable, trustworthy environment.
