BELIZE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COMPANY FORMATION


REGULAR FEES


Where, and by whom, is your offshore company managed?

PREMIUM INCORPORATION PACKAGE - $ 1330


Where, and by whom, is your offshore company managed?

A comprehensive, high-value package. It includes our in-house professional directorship and business administration service, plus the shareholding service for enhanced confidentiality. The business administration service includes a Belize street address and fax number for the company, handling of commercial documents and correspondence, and a basic consultation for one year.

This package is intended to address the all-important tax planning question: “by whom, and from where is the company actually managed?”

In this setup, the company can demonstrate that it operates “at arm’s length” from its actual owner – as opposed to being technically operated from the owners’ home. This package is designed for clients located and doing business in highly regulated, high-tax countries.

The $ 1330 Premium Incorporation Package Includes the following:

• Belize IBC formation with all primary documents.
• The company registration fee to the Belize government ($100).
• A set of copies of the primary documents certified by Notary and Apostille for international use.
• Registered agent service for one year.
• Corporate directorship service for one year.
• Shareholder service for one year.
• Business address, fax, mail and document management service for one year.
• Basic consultation and advice for one year.

The bank account introduction is not included in this package. We recognize that many clients will prefer to open bank accounts with their own bankers, in jurisdictions of their own choice. Our professional fee for a bank account starts at $250. A number of selected offshore banks is available.

The annual management fee for this package is $1000, starting from the 2nd year. This includes the Belize government annual license fee, the annual undertaking fees for the registered agent, shareholder, directorship and business administration and basic consultation for 12 months.

$ 790 – BASIC INCORPORATION PACKAGE


A simple set of an acceptable minimum of services. Main advantages: low cost and direct operation. Main disadvantage: you will be seen directing and running the offshore company from your own home. (Hint: Your domestic government may not like it.)

This package is designed for those lucky individuals, who live and work in countries where they can afford to be seen as directly owning and managing their own offshore company. This setup presumes a direct, hands-on operation of the IBC by the company owner. Note! If you live in, or bear a passport of a high-tax country with an aggressive and efficient tax revenue service , this package may not be suitable for you.

The $ 790 Belize Basic Incorporation Package Includes the following:

• Belize IBC formation and all primary documents.
• The company registration fee to the Belize government ($100).
• A set of copies of the primary documents certified by Notary and Apostille for international use.
• Registered agent service for one year.

The annual administration fees for this package, starting from the second year: $300.
This includes the Belize government fee and the mandatory registered agent service.

The bank account introduction is not included in this package. We recognize that many clients will prefer to open bank accounts with their own bankers, in geographical proximity to their area of operation. If required, our professional fee for a bank account introduction starts at $250. A number of selected offshore banks is available.
