BVI Company Registration and Maintenance Guide (4) - Choosing the Name for a BVI Business Company


There are restrictions on what types of words you can use in a company name. See "restrictions" and BVI Restricted Words.


No company can be incorporated which has a name which is identical to another company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands or so closely resembles the name that it could be deceptive or mixed up.


Possible endings:


The name of the company must include one of the following words or its abbreviation:


Word Abbreviated form
Limited Ltd.
Corporation Corp.
Incorporated Inc.
Societe Anonyme or Sociedad Anonima S.A.

Possible words to use in the name:


If you wanted to use the name Blue Mountains, Inc., it's quite possible that the name is not available because there is already a company with that name registered in the British Virgin Islands.? In order to avoid your name being rejected because it is identical to another name, you might consider using a name such as Blue Mountain Holdings, Inc. or Blue Mountain Investments, Inc.
