Introduction
Excellence
Charles Russell is recognised as a leading London BVI practice
and is the only UK-based law firm offering a dedicated BVI
service. We are ranked in the top flight by Chambers.
The advantages of BVI
The BVI has firmly established itself as the world's premier
corporate domicile with in excess of 500,000 BVI Business
Companies (BC's) registered in the region. A British overseas
territory, its sophisticated legal and corporate system is
stable, company-friendly and fast. Typically, it takes just
3 days to register a company.
The BVI's leading position for BC formation is built on an
ideal corporate and legal infrastructure, including flexibility
of legislation, high quality financial services, an efficient
Company Registry, and commitment to corporate anonymity. Further
advantages to BC's include:
- Exemption from all local BVI taxes
- Maximum confidentiality & privacy
- Ease of business operation, maintenance and control
