British Virgin Islands shelf companies: common questions
How quickly can I own a British Virgin Islands shelf company?
Once due diligence is complete, the transfer itself usually takes days. The exact timing depends on registry, notary or agent steps in the British Virgin Islands. Economic substance and beneficial ownership filing rules apply.
Are your British Virgin Islands companies really clean?
Yes. Each company has been dormant since incorporation. You receive written confirmation that it has never traded and has no debts or liabilities, and you can check it on the official register.
Can a non-resident buy a company in the British Virgin Islands?
In most cases yes. Where the British Virgin Islands requires a local director, secretary, agent or address, we can arrange it and include it in your quotation.
Can I rename the company?
Yes. A change of name is normally filed together with the transfer, along with new directors, shareholders and registered office.
Will the British Virgin Islands company have a bank account?
Not as standard. Banks open accounts for the new owners after their own checks. We advise on realistic banking options for your activity and can support the application.
How much does a British Virgin Islands ready made company cost?
Price on request. It depends on the age of the company and the services you add. You receive a fixed written quotation before any payment.
What about tax?
Tax depends on where the company is managed and what it does, not only on registration in the British Virgin Islands. We give general guidance only. Please take advice from a qualified tax adviser.
