BELIZE LOCAL COMPANY FORMATION (Belize Chapter 250 Company)

We specialize in the incorporation and annual maintenance/filings of Local ("LTD"). The companies are established through our sister corporation Secure Corporate Services Limited.

The Belize Companies Act, 2022, of the Laws of Belize provides for the formation of limited liability companies. Local companies may carry out unlimited activities and these companies are free to carry on business locally in Belize. International Clients are also entitled to be shareholders of local companies; however, we must first apply for approval from the Central Bank. This is simply a matter of procedure and is completed within a few days.

We advise all of our clients wishing to carry on a business in Belize to do so through the medium of a limited liability company. This medium provides security and protection to both its shareholders and directors. Separate legal status/entity is a vital and recognized aspect of Belize law. When properly structured the local corporations can also provide Asset Protection, Tax Minimization and Confidentiality.

In order for us to form your corporation we require the following information:

• Name of Corporation;
• Secondary Name (if the above name is not accepted);
