For businesses whose activity is outside the United States, a Belize company can be a practical, English-speaking, common-law option. We coordinate the entire process from Miami; the incorporation itself is carried out by our licensed Belize registered-agent partner.
Discuss a Belize companyBelize companies are incorporated under the Belize Companies Act, 2022, which replaced the former International Business Companies (IBC) regime. Every Belize company must use a registered agent licensed by Belize's Financial Services Commission.
Our Belize partner is that licensed agent. We act as your Miami point of contact: we collect and verify your documents, explain each requirement, coordinate the filing, and keep your renewal and filing dates on our compliance calendar.
Belize companies must keep registers of directors, members, and beneficial owners with the registered agent, and must meet annual filing and economic-substance requirements where they apply. We'll walk you through which apply to your company.
Certified passport, proof of address, bank or professional reference, and a source-of-funds statement for each beneficial owner.
Certificate of incorporation, articles, and the first resolutions of the directors.
Register of directors, members, and beneficial owners kept with the registered agent, as required.
Renewal reminders, registry fees, and annual filings coordinated each year.
If you live or do business in the U.S., a foreign company does not reduce your U.S. tax obligations and can add reporting requirements. U.S. persons owning foreign companies typically have IRS filing duties. Get advice from a qualified tax professional in your country of residence before forming. We will decline engagements where the purpose appears to be concealing ownership or avoiding taxes owed.
Once due diligence is approved by our Belize partner, incorporation usually takes 3–7 business days. Courier delivery of originals takes longer.
No. We do not provide nominee directors or shareholders. Owners and directors are disclosed to the registered agent as required by law.
We prepare a complete document package and can introduce you to banks familiar with Belize companies. Account approval is always at the bank's sole discretion.
