Failure to pay before this may result in your company being struck from the register of companies in the British Virgin Islands. We remind you that companies not in good standing with the BVI government as a result of being struck off or removed from the register are forbidden from carrying on business or trading and must settled all fees outstanding.

To ensure we receive full amount to credit your account in full, when submitting funds via wire transfer, kindly remember to advise your bank that you will pay all wire charges; Do not indicate that that the intermediary or receiving bank will “share” or that the beneficiary bank will pay such charges. Indicate your company name so that funds are credited properly.

We may be unable to credit amount and re-license companies if you did not indicate your company name on the wire instruction or other payment.
