Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about cost of setting up a BVI company using Expanship

The Basic package ($1,499) includes everything you need to legally incorporate a British Virgin Islands (BVI) company: government registration fees, preparation of incorporation documents, registered agent and office for the first year, statutory registers, express worldwide delivery of your corporate kit, and free account opening assistance with Airwallex. The Premium package ($2,499) includes everything in Basic, plus a company seal, original Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, and notarization with apostille on all corporate documents—all processed within 3 days instead of 7. The Enterprise package (custom pricing) addresses sophisticated needs including complex corporate structuring, nominee director and shareholder services, customized constitutional documents, expedited priority processing, multi-jurisdictional coordination, and dedicated ad-hoc advisory support.

If you don't have any special requirements, or if you're not planning to have your BVI company recognised elsewhere—such as opening bank accounts or registering with other platforms—the Basic package makes the most sense, since it includes all the essentials to legally incorporate a company in the BVI. However, if you're looking for a hassle-free, all-around package that already includes frequently requested documents and certifications such as Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, and Apostille, we recommend opting for the Premium package. Understanding your BVI company cost upfront helps you make the right decision for your business needs.

The Premium package includes everything in the Basic package, plus retrieval of frequently requested documents such as Certificate of Incumbency and Certificate of Good Standing, which will be notarized and apostilled. The importance of this becomes evident when you try to open a bank account for your BVI company or register with other platforms—they mostly require these documents, and often need them certified. By opting for Premium, you receive all these additional documents at a more economical price compared to requesting them individually after incorporation. When evaluating BVI company fees, the Premium package offers the best value for businesses planning to operate internationally.

The Enterprise package suits businesses requiring sophisticated arrangements beyond standard incorporation. This includes complex corporate structuring with multi-layered ownership, nominee director or shareholder services for enhanced privacy, customized Memorandum and Articles addressing unique governance needs, expedited priority processing for urgent timelines, and multi-jurisdictional coordination when establishing entities across several countries simultaneously. Enterprise clients also receive dedicated ad-hoc advisory support for specialized matters. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and receive a tailored proposal.
