British Virgin Islands Company Status
| The BVI company search report we provide from the registry confirms the current status of the company: | |
| Active | The company is in Good Standing with the BVI Registry Corporate Affairs |
| Inactive | A BVI company with an overdue licence fee is ‘Inactive’. This means that the company is not in good standing but is not yet struck off. The company must pay its licence fee and appropriate penalty in order to restore the company’s Active status |
| In Penalty | Licence fees are past due, Licence fee penalty fee is usually charged, once the fees are passed due. |
| Struck off | The company is dissolved – for Non-Payment of fees to the registry. The Registrar may strike a BVI company off the Register of Companies on any one of a number of different grounds, including: failure of the company to appoint a registered agent; failure of a company to file documents that it is required to file under the Act; failure of the company to pay its annual fee or a late payment penalty; or where the Registrar is satisfied that the company has ceased to carry on business However, the Registrar would not usually strike a company off administratively if the Registry had reason to believe that a company is trading or has any property. In such circumstances the Registrar has the power to refer the company to the Financial Services Commission for further investigation. |
Register of Directors
It is a statutory requirement for IBC companies to file the register of directors on incorporation and update annually. This document can be requested separately to the company search report.
The BVI Registrar of Companies may make available upon request the name of the directors of a company, according to the register of directors filed at the Registry. The register will show the current director(s) and the date appointed where filed. Historical director records are not available.
