Why Incorporate A Startup In The British Virgin Islands?

As the founder of a startup company, one of the first questions you need to consider is "where should I incorporate my company?"

Investors are drawn to the British Virgin Islands (BVI) for its flexible and modern corporate regime, tax neutrality, respected legal system, political stability and effective regulatory framework. The BVI provides a neutral and safe platform to pool and access capital, which is recognised by leading international investors and banks. Uniquely, BVI company law is based on Delaware law that has been anglicised to recognise that the BVI is a common law jurisdiction. This means investors from both sides of the Atlantic are equally comfortable using BVI companies. To date, more than one million companies have been formed in the BVI and we see a trend in BVI startup companies incorporating in the BVI.
