BACKGROUND INFORMATION & BUSINESS

PROFILE

 

LEGAL STRUCTURE

 

-        Legal Status                : IBC/International Business Company

-        Date established          : 19.08.2002

 

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The British Virgin Islands ("BVI") are a British Colony located in the Caribbean. The BVI are independent from the United Kingdom, except with respect to their external matters, defense and internal safety. Its legal system is based on the English Common Law. English is their official language and their official currency is the U.S. dollar. There are no exchange controls nor requirements to file corporate reports of any nature, therefore the islands offer multiple tax advantages to the non-resident that organizes companies therein.

 

BVI International Business Companies (IBCs) are the off-shore companies with a great number of advantages, such as:

 

1)       Exemption from payment of any income tax;

2)       Can conduct most business transactions (except conducting banking and insurance activities and other businesses with residents of the BVI; or to possess real estate in BVI);

3)       Requires a minimum of only one shareholder and one director;

4)       The directors and shareholders can be entities or individuals resident in any country;

5)       The shares can be issued to the bearer or registered;

6)       The Board of Directors can meet in any part of the world and even by telephone;

7)       The payment of minimum capital is not required, and the shares can be issued at par or non par value;

8)       The names of the Directors, Officers and shareholders do not need to be registered in a public record 

9)       No need to file annual reports nor tax returns;

10)   Can transfer its domicile and continue existing as a company incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of BVI; a foreign company can also become a BVI IBC;

11)   Neither the minutes book nor the shares book need to be certified by any authority of BVI;

12)   It is not necessary to carry out Directors or shareholder meetings on a regular basis.

13)   The name of the company must include the word 'Limited', 'Corporation' or 'Incorporation', or the abbreviation 'Ltd.', 'Corp.', 'Inc.' or 'S.A.'. Names in Chinese characters may also be recorded.

14)   It is not necessary to issue shares of the company, unless the Board of directors decides so. The shares should be paid in full at the time of issuance, and they can be issued for money, services or properties received. The name of the shareholder must be registered in the shares book, which is not open to the public. The meetings of the shareholders will be conducted whenever the Directors consider it necessary or desirable or through written request of the shareholders that represent more than 50% of the votes. The resolutions of the shareholders can be approved by telephone or in a duly convened meeting, and they can also be adopted through written consent. The company must have a registered office and agent in BVI.

15)   The IBC can be dissolved by resolution of the Board of directors, if no shares have been issued. In case that the shares have been issued, the company must be dissolved through a shareholders resolution.

16)   All the dividends, interest, rents, royalties, compensations and other amounts paid by company established under the IBC Act to persons that are non-residents of BVI are exempt from payment of income tax. The capital gains earned from the sale of whatever shares or other securities of an IBC are also exempt from payment of any tax.

 

CAPITAL STRUCTURE :            AUTHORIZED NOMINAL CAPITAL          : USD 50.000

                                                ISSUED CAPITAL                                  : USD 50.000

                                                PAID-IN CAPITAL                                  : USD 50.000

 

Its stock is divided into bearer and ordinary no par-value shares. It is a privately-owned company whose shares are no traded on the Stock Exchange, and whose controlling shareholders are a group of undisclosed non-resident foreign investors. The total investor's anonimity and business secrecy is granted by the British Virgin Islands legislation.

 

REGISTRATION AGENT:           COVERDALE TRUST SERVICES LTD

 

It is a law firm hired by subject's foreign owners to run the company on their behalf. Such agent was consulted about the identity of subject's foreign owners, but he declined to disclose such information arguing not to be authorized by them to provide any data about the company

 

LINE OF BUSINESS      : FINANCE & INVESTMENT COMPANY

 

Subject has the following purposes and objects: The principal object is to engage either in the Virgin Islands or abroad, in the purchase, sell, disposal, dealing, transfer, barter, ownership, negotiate, finance, administration to grant guaranties in favor of obligation of third parties with or without mortgage or pledge of the corporation assets, give or borrowing money in loan, giving or taking in commission, mortgage, security, lease, use, usufruct, or receivership, any kind of property, whether real or personal stock or rights, and make and accept all kinds of deals, contracts, operations, business and transactions of lawful commerce.

 

The corporation could engage also in fullfilling all activities, contracts, operations, business or transactions allowed by Law to the Corporation.

 

In particular it is engaged in financial intermediation operations, participation in overseas companies, shareholdings, overseas investments in general, etc.

 

According to informed by subject's resident agent, it is legally registered in the British Virgin Islands, with head offices abroad.

It means that subject uses the British Virgin Islands territory only as its legal and administrative address, but all its operations are carried out abroad.

 

It is under the same condition as many companies that are established in the British Virgin Islands, founded in order to protect their shareholder's investments and, to avail of tax exemption laws in that country.

 

Subject's annual business volume is not disclosed by its Resident Agent.

 

STAFF              : nil. It uses the registration agent's staff

 

BANKERS         : No bank relations in BVI

 

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS, INVESTMENTS, ETC.

 

PHYSICAL ASSET HOLDINGS : No properties in the British Viring Islands.  Possible properties abroad are unknown.

 

 

CREDIT STANDING

 

TRADE REFERENCES SURVEY : In virtue of the nature of its business activities its local transactions are seldom. Therefore, commercial sources consulted in the marketplace report that they are unable to establish subject's payment performance and general reputation regarding commitments contracted as same it is  UNKNOWN as making use of credit facilities.

 

Negative facts : Nothing detrimental. No collection claims, returned checks, or legal suits are recorded against subject.

 

 

FINAL OPINION

 

We are reporting upon a finance & investments company which belongs to undisclosed foreign shareholders. Although it is registered in the Virging Islands, it uses such territory only as its legal and administrative address, but all its operations are carried out abroad. It is managed by a resident registration agent and it is unknown in the marketplace, so its commercial morality and general reputation cannot be assessed, although nothing detrimental is noted upon subject. As there are no visible assets, and taking into account also that it is unknown as making use of credit facilities, credit in general must be regarded as a matter of confidence, and amounts of certain importance would have to be secured by collateral.
