The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a popular jurisdiction for incorporation, both for U.S. persons conducting operations abroad and as a holding company for non-U.S. persons for U.S. interests. The BVI has recently adopted a number of changes to its Company Law. Some of the major changes include:
- New types of corporate entities, including companies limited by guarantee, segregated portfolio companies, and restricted purpose companies.
- Now allows for no par stock.
- Requires provisions for different classes of stock be included in the memorandum of association instead of being determined only by directors.
- A director does not have to be appointed until the expiration of six months.
- For a non-BVI company to be continued under BVI law, the company's existence under the non-BVI law must be terminated.
