British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands are a small group of islands in the Caribbean Sea located 60 miles east of Puerto Rico. The BVI has excellent airline connections with Puerto Rico’s capital of San Juan, which is a major hub for American Airlines. The BVI financial services industry enjoys the advantages of having responsibility for its internal self-government, while maintaining the political and economic stability associated with being a British Overseas Territory.

Tourism and the financial services industry are the mainstays of the BVI economy. Through careful development of its offshore legislation, a substantial professional infrastructure and its reputation for integrity, the jurisdiction has established itself as the one of the world’s premier offshore financial centres.
