British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands, situated about 60 miles east of Puerto Rico, is a Dependant Territory of the United Kingdom, but enjoys responsibility for its own internal self government. There is an elected 13-member legislative Council and a Cabinet, both operating under a Constitution adopted in 1967. The Governor is appointed by the British Government, with the UK retaining responsibility for the BVI’s external affairs, defense, internal security and courts. This combination has created one of the region’s most stable and secure territories. The territory also enjoys the important added benefit of having the US Dollar as its currency, thereby offering a special combination of financial, economic and political stability. There are no exchange controls.

By location and time zone (Eastern), the BVI are strategically placed to serve the global financial markets of the Americas, Europe and Asia. Ever since pioneering the International Business Company (IBC) legislation in 1984, the BVI has become one of the world’s leading corporate domiciles and grown into a widely recognised and reputable international financial centre.

The BVI has an independent judicial system based on English Common Law; laws and regulations are routinely developed in consultation with the private sector. Due to the size of the offshore industry in the BVI there is a constant dialogue between the private and public sectors which shape the jurisdiction's regulatory landscape.

The BVI enjoys a reputation as a true international business centre with thousands of clients utilizing the jurisdiction for provision of Corporate, Fund, Trust and Shipping matters.
