Why Form a Company in Belize?
Belize (formerly called British Honduras) since independence from Britain in 1981 has had an extremely stable and democratic government.
A Belize Company Formation has become an increasingly popular offshore entity due to the speed in which a company can be incorporated. Most companies in Belize are easily formed within 5 days.
Another reason for the rise in popularity for a Belize company, is that the Managers have one of the highest levels of privacy protection. The information for a Manager and Member are kept confidential and the information on Managers, Members and beneficial owners are not filed with the Belize Company Registrar. Therefore, the information will not be made available to the public and will not be shown on any public documents, giving business owners a high level of confidentiality.
Belize companies are simple to keep in good standing as there are no yearly accounting fees or annual filings.
