British Virgin Islands (BVI)

Located in the Caribbean Sea, 80Km from Puerto Rico, the British Virgin Islands is one of the top offshore jurisdictions worldwide. It is a British territory with an autonomous government. Its legal system is based on the British Law.

The British Virgin Islands are, with Hong Kong, one of the main sources of foreign investment in China, due to the number of global companies which use it as a base for a holding company for China investment purposes.
