These terms set out what we do for you, what we need from you, what it costs and what happens if something goes wrong. They apply to every engagement unless we have agreed something different with you in writing.

We are a corporate services practice based in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. In these terms “we”, “us” and “our” mean that practice, and “you” means the person or company that places an order with us.
They cover the use of this website and every service you order through it: incorporation of a BVI Business Company, registered agent and registered office, annual renewal, registry searches and certificates, and the additional services listed at checkout.
Placing an order means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not place an order.
An order is an offer, not a contract. We are engaged only when we have accepted your order, completed our due diligence to our own satisfaction and received payment in cleared funds. Until all three have happened we are free to decline the engagement, and we may do so without giving a reason.
You must give us information that is accurate, complete and current, and tell us promptly when it changes. That includes the identity of every beneficial owner, director and shareholder, the source of the funds used, and the intended activities of the company.
We rely on what you tell us. If it is wrong or incomplete, the filings we make on your behalf will be wrong too, and putting that right is chargeable.
BVI law requires a registered agent to verify the people behind every company it acts for, and to keep those records current for as long as it acts and for a period afterwards. We will ask for identity documents, proof of address and information about source of funds and wealth, and we may ask for more if the file calls for it.
We cannot proceed without this. We may also decline or discontinue an engagement where the due diligence is incomplete, where the documents cannot be verified, or where we are not satisfied for any other reason, including reasons we are not permitted by law to explain.
Our fees are those shown at checkout for the services you select. They are stated in United States dollars and include the BVI Government fees that apply to the order, unless the order says otherwise. Fees quoted as on quotation are priced before you are asked to pay for them.
Government fees, penalties and third-party charges are set by others and can change without notice to us. Where they change, the change is passed on.
Payment is taken by card at checkout. Card details are handled by our payment provider and never reach our servers.
No work is started, and nothing is filed, until payment has been received.
If we accept your payment and then decline to proceed for compliance reasons, we refund what you paid in full. That is the order of operations the refund guarantee rests on: we do not take money before we are in a position to act on it.
Once a company has been incorporated, or a Government fee has been paid to the Registry on your behalf, that part of the fee is not refundable, because it is no longer ours to return.
Any timescale we give is an estimate based on a complete file and normal Registry service. It is not a deadline we guarantee. Incomplete due diligence, a name that is refused, or Registry backlogs and public holidays will move it.
A name check is a snapshot of the register at the moment we look. It is not a reservation, and it is not a promise that the Registrar will accept the name. Names that are restricted, misleading or too close to an existing one are refused by the Registry, not by us. If your first choice is refused we will ask you for another.
A BVI company must pay its annual Government fee and keep its registers, registered agent and registered office in place. We will remind you when a renewal is due, but the obligation is the company’s and the directors’, not ours. Late payment attracts penalties set by the Registry and, if it continues, the company is struck off.
If our fees for the registered agent or registered office are unpaid, we may resign as registered agent after giving you notice.
We are not a law firm, an accountancy firm or a tax adviser, and nothing on this website or in our correspondence is legal, tax, investment or accounting advice. The material here describes how BVI company law works in general terms. It is not advice about your circumstances, and you should take your own professional advice before relying on it.
We will carry out our services with reasonable skill and care. Where we are liable to you, our total liability for any engagement is limited to the fees you paid us for that engagement, excluding Government fees and third-party charges paid on your behalf.
We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or any indirect or consequential loss; for anything caused by information you gave us that was wrong or incomplete; or for the acts, delays and decisions of the Registry, the Government, banks or other third parties.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
You may end the engagement at any time in writing. We may end it where the due diligence cannot be completed, where our fees are unpaid, where we are required to by law or regulation, or where continuing would put us in breach of our obligations.
If the engagement ends, fees for work already done remain payable, and records we are required to keep are kept for as long as the law says.
We keep what you tell us confidential, and we disclose it only where you ask us to, where a service you ordered requires it, or where the law or a competent authority requires it of us. Some disclosures we are forbidden to tell you about.
How we handle personal data is set out separately in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
The content of this site is ours, and you may read and print it for your own use but not republish it. We work to keep it accurate and current, but the law changes and the site may lag behind it. Fees and figures shown here are indicative until confirmed at checkout.
We may change these terms. The version that applies to your order is the one published when you placed it, and the date above tells you when this version took effect.
These terms, and any dispute arising from them, are governed by the law of the British Virgin Islands, and the courts of the British Virgin Islands have exclusive jurisdiction.
