The Act makes it possible for the \nadministration of an IBC to be undertaken either in the BVI or from \nanother jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Points of Interest\/ Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Incorporation under the IBC Act provides the following benefits and features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>IBC companies are exempt from all BVI taxes and stamp duty (except \nfor registration fees and annual licence fee) even though the \nadministration of an IBC may be from with in the BVI.<\/li><li>There are no minimum issued share capital requirements.<\/li><li>An IBC is required to have a Registered Agent and a Registered Office in BVI.<\/li><li>Both registered and bearer shares can be issued (and converted from one to another)<\/li><li>Only one shareholder is required.<\/li><li>Only one director is required.

When the \ncompany is registered, control of the company is passed over to the \ninterested party by appointing as first directors (individual or \ncorporate) those indicated by the client. The directors, in turn, \narrange the issuance of shares and take the other decisions to commence \nbusiness. Service of nominee directors\/officers and\/or shareholders is \navailable. The length of time required for the corporation to be formed \nwill be approximately five (5) working days from the date in which we \nreceive final instructions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British Virgin Islands are a British dependency located in the Eastern Caribbean, about 80 kilometers East of Puerto Rico.
