Registration of a company in Belize is open to every person and corporation from all over the world. The process and efficiency of company registration has been simplified to attract many investors as possible. The Belizean government has enforced laws that favor offshore companies and business enterprises through the International Business Company (IBC). The Belize company formation has and is still attracting many investors. This is because it’s tax free and enjoys the legitimacy of world’s business and investment boost. Technological development has thus enabled Belizean government to make registration easy and may only take few days.
To register a company in Belize, a person or a company registering need to ensure that the following factors are given serious consideration:
> Identify an agency that can help in the process of company formation. The agency must be a company that will help in opening a bank account necessary for the company’s registration. The bank account should a legal bank account with own IBAN account number and it must be in a place where the bank has a SWIFT code.
> The Belize government requires that the company to be registered be able to identify its would-be clients.
After these factors have been taken into account, the registration requirements are therefore provided to start the whole process of ensuring that you have the company or corporation registered:
• Identify the suitable name for the company. The search is best done at the Registry of Companies.
• Present the memorandum of understanding and the Articles of Association at the Registry of Company offices.
• Obtain a trade license from the Belize City Council. This is non-payment service and done to offer legality for the company registered. The city council will inspect and give the trade license after the payment.
• Register the company at the income tax department. This will help the government in tax collections.
• Make registration of your company at the GST (General Sales Tax) offices. The general tax registration will show the genuineness of operating the specified offshore business.
• Finally, the workers that are expected to work in the Business Corporation or company should be registered at the Social Security Board. This ensures current and future safety of all the workers.
To help the Belizean government curb crime and the fraudulency that takes place during formation and the registration of a company, there are documents that must be submitted upon registration. These also come along with the fee for government filing and storage. The following articles are presented: an Incorporation Certificate, a Memorandum of Understanding and the Articles of Association, the letter of appointment of the directors of the first term, the name of the nominated shareholder (this is only presented if required), a special declaration from the nominee stakeholder, the share certificates, the register of stakeholders, managers and directors, the registered agent services and the document showing the legal office of the company.
However, for Belize offshore companies, there are renewable fees that must be paid every year. The renewable charges are; Government fees which is paid annually, the fee for the registered agent which is also a yearly payment and lastly, the fee paid for the company’s registered office. The fee for this office must always be renewed at the beginning of every year.
