    You can use any physical address anywhere in the world. Currently, we do not offer a service to provide a physical address for our clients, so they must use their own.

    DELCO only incorporates companies intended for:

    • Opening a bank or investment account
    • Registering a ship or pleasure yacht
    • Holding shares
    • Owning properties (real estate)
    • Trading goods and services
    • Part of a corporate structure

    At the moment, we do not incorporate companies intended for activities considered “Relevant Activities” under BVI regulations.

    The following activities are considered relevant under BVI regulations, and we currently do not provide support for them:

    • Banking business
    • Fund management
    • Insurance business
    • Distribution and service center business
    • Financing and leasing business
    • Headquarters business or Group Headquarters
    • Intellectual Property business (earning from a brand or industrial property owned by the company)
    • Shipping business
    • Pure Equity Holding (being an entity that only holds shares or equity interests in other entities and only generates dividends and capital gains). If it holds a bank account or other assets aside from shares, it would not be considered a relevant activity.

    Currently, information about the names of directors and shareholders is private, meaning it remains only in the offices of the registered agent. While directors are registered with the BVI Registrar, such information is confidential.

    There is no minimum capital required to register a company in BVI. The usual authorized capital, and with which the lowest annual maintenance cost is paid, is 50,000 shares. It is not necessary to deposit any amount in bank accounts for the company to remain active.
