Porquê Belize?

Cost sensitive offshore holding structures

Belize IBCs under the International Business Companies Act sit at the lowest price point of any Caribbean IBC. Zero CIT applies to foreign source income; CIT on Belize source income runs 1.75% to 6% graduated. No accounts are filed publicly, and the Belize Companies and Corporate Affairs Registry processes formations within 48 hours.

International traders and IP licensors

Belize IBCs can hold IP, invoice foreign customers, hold securities, and act as treasury vehicles. Common law applies, with appeal ultimately to the Privy Council in London. The IFSC regulates international financial services. 1 shareholder, 1 director (any nationality), no minimum capital, and corporate directors permitted.

Founders pairing the IBC with a Belize trust

Belize has one of the strongest asset protection trust statutes in the Caribbean (Trusts Act 1992): a 1 year statute of limitations on creditor challenges, no requirement to recognise foreign judgments, and explicit firewall provisions. Combined with a Belize IBC as trustee or as underlying asset holding company, the regime fits family office and high net worth founders.

A ter em conta

If your customers or banks are reputation sensitive

Belize was on the EU AML high risk list until 2022 and remains under enhanced due diligence by many international banks and payment processors. Stripe, Wise, and Mercury do not onboard Belize IBCs. For a cleaner offshore reputation consider:

Historical AML scrutinyNo Stripe supportBank de risking exposure
→ Ilhas Virgens Britânicas Cleaner offshore reputation with wider banking→ Seicheles Cheaper alternative with similar regime→ Ilhas Caimão Premium tier with strongest enterprise acceptance

If you need onshore credibility and substance

Belize IBCs operating without local economic presence trigger Economic Substance Act compliance obligations and may face passive income reclassification at home country level (CFC rules, Pillar Two). For operating businesses needing onshore credibility:

Economic substance burdenCFC and Pillar Two exposureLimited treaty access
→ Singapura Onshore APAC hub with full reputation→ Dubai (EAU) Free zone with substance and 9% CIT→ Maurícia Onshore African hub with treaty network
