The British Virgin Islands is one of the world’s premier financial services centres and as a result has become a destination of choice for many financial services institutions and investors. The BVI’s reputation of being a high quality and well regulated centre is as a result of its dedication and commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the jurisdiction. This is evidenced through its legislative framework and compliance with the world’s leading regulatory bodies. The BVI offers a wide range of continuously expanding services for legitimate business and operates to the highest international standards.

Investors can rely on:

• the strong relationship that exists between the UK and the BVI and the BVI’s status as a British Overseas Territory;
• its political and economic stability;
• its well established international standing and respectability; and
• the close relationship between the BVI Government and the private sector, which ensures that policies and legislation meet the financial community’s needs and interests.

The beauty of the islands and the warmth of its peoples are also added attributes which makes the BVI an irresistible choice.

I encourage you to closely examine the material presented in this brochure and embrace the opportunities presented. I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful shores when you come and experience the BVI’s premier financial services centre.
