British Virgin Islands International Business Company (IBC)

The British Virgin Islands (BVI) offer favourable business regulations, a prosperous economy and a stable political situation. The territory is a particularly popular place to incorporate an IBC as there are numerous benefits for offshore companies and guaranteed privacy.
