Incorporate a BVI Company with Local Expertise from Hong Kong
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) have gained renown as one of the world's leading offshore jurisdictions for international business. As a British Overseas Territory, BVI operates under English common law, offering legal predictability and a favourable environment for global enterprises. The BVI's zero-tax regime, confidentiality framework, and minimal reporting requirements have made it a popular destination for multinational corporations, high-net-worth individuals, and start-ups.
At CityLinkers, based in Hong Kong, we offer comprehensive solutions to support BVI company formation, including registration, documentation, and ongoing compliance.

Why Set Up a BVI Company
BVI Business Companies (BVI BCs) are widely regarded as being among the most flexible and cost-effective offshore structures in the world.
Key Advantages of BVI Company Formation
- Strong Privacy Protections Shareholder and director identities are generally confidential. (Note: From January 1, 2023, registered users of the BVI system can view director information due to regulatory amendments.)
- No Taxation on Offshore Income BVI companies are exempt from corporate tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, and stamp duty (except on BVI real estate transactions).
- No Foreign Exchange Controls BVI companies can hold multi-currency bank accounts globally, with unrestricted capital flow.
- Economic Substance Compliance Operating companies must submit annual economic substance declarations as required under international regulations.
- Flexible Capital Requirements No minimum capital is required. Standard share capital is 50,000 shares; higher capital is allowed (additional registration and annual fees apply).
- Chinese Company Name Available A Chinese name may be added to the certificate of incorporation for branding and cross-border marketing (additional fee required).
