Conyers Corporate Services – “Gold Plating” Your BVI Corporate Services

Oct 2021

Given the increased scrutiny applied to offshore entities in the current global climate and the introduction of regulatory requirements such as economic substance regimes, beneficial ownership reporting and global minimum tax requirements, it is more important than ever to ensure that the administration of your British Virgin Islands (BVI) entities is handled by a corporate service provider with the experience and expertise to ensure that you and your BVI entities are kept fully up-to-date and compliant with your legal obligations.

Conyers Corporate Services was established in the British Virgin Islands in 1988 and we have been at the heart of the jurisdiction’s development as an international financial centre ever since; providing registered agent, registered office, corporate secretarial, director and authorised representative services to top-tier international clients and multinational groups. Conyers has, since its inception, consistently applied international standards including “know your client” due diligence processes and acts as corporate secretary for all BVI companies incorporated with us, ensuring that the books and records of the companies are properly maintained.

Conyers Corporate Services works alongside our consistently top-ranked corporate, finance and dispute resolution BVI legal practices. Established in 1996, Conyers Dill & Pearman was the first international law firm in the British Virgin Islands. As an acknowledged market leader, we are well-placed to provide you with all the legal advice and services you need in the BVI.
