BVI companies and corporate services with OMC Group? The offshore industry has been developing in the BVI since the 1980s. This is one of the oldest offshore zones in the world. Around 40% of all offshore companies are domiciled in the BVI. The reason for that is not only a favorable geographical position of the islands. The legislation that regulates the activities of the offshore companies registered in the BVI is quite transparent and the recent amendments have put it in conformity with the international efforts to fight money laundering. The British Virgin Islands is a reputable offshore jurisdiction.

Fund management business: Means the conduct of an activity that requires the legal entity to hold an investment business license pursuant to section 4 and category 3 of Schedule 3 of the Securities and Investment Business Act, 2010. Category 3 of Schedule 3 of the Securities and Investment Business Act, 2010 reads as follows: Sub-category A: Managing Segregated Portfolios (excluding Mutual Funds) Sub-category B: Managing Mutual Funds Sub-category C: Managing Pension Schemes Sub category D: Managing Insurance Products Sub-category E: Managing Other Types of Investment. Reference should be made to SIBA and to the FSC Code for a more detailed understanding of these concepts. It should be noted that management of funds is contrasted with the business of being a custodian of investments, which falls within Category 5 of SIBA.

If you aim for the former group, you should consider everything carefully. Some no-tax jurisdictions are changing their policies fast. They are starting to impose taxes and regulations on certain kinds of income and business activities. And some places have a really bad reputation in the business world. These are the ones you should avoid. Bad-reputation jurisdictions would cost you a hard time opening a bank account and running your company. In particular, banks in Singapore or Hong Kong are very concerned about opening an account for companies in tax havens. The same goes with customers and clients. They would also be concerned to do business with your company if it is incorporated in such jurisdictions.
