LEGISLATION

Here are full texts of some of the most important laws which regulate offshore company formation, operation and management in the British Virgin Islands, and the related areas of offshore financial services business, like registered agents, banks, trust companies, insurers and offshore investment funds.

BVI Business Companies Act 2004 This is the main and the most important piece of legislation, which currently regulates the registration, status and operation of the Business Companies in British Virgin Islands. This new law has replaced and superceded the previous BVI Companies Act (Cap 285) and the BVI International Business Companies Act 1984.

BVI Banks and Trust Companies Act 1990 This is the law, which regulates the licensing and operation of banks and trust companies in the British Virgin Islands, including those offshore Registered Agents who are registered and licensed as Trust Companies – including Fidelity Corporate Services Ltd.

BVI Company Management Act 1990 This law regulates the operation and licensing of those smaller BVI offshore company managers and Registered Agents, who are not licensed as Trust Companies. The regulatory provisions set forth by this Act are less stringent than those prescribed for the Banks and Trust Companies – in particular, as regards capital adequacy.

BVI Insurance Act 1994 This law governs the registration and licensing of domestic and offshore insurance companies, insurance managers, brokers and agents in the British Virgin Islands.

BVI Mutual Funds Act 1996 This law governs the registration and licensing of public, private and professional investment funds, mutual funds and hedge funds, and licensing of fund managers and administrators in the British Virgin Islands. The impressive number of offshore investment funds registered in the BVI are licensed and regulated under this Act.
