Low License Requirements


As of 2025, Belize International Business Companies (IBCs) offer 100% foreign ownership, fast incorporation within 24–48 hours, and no minimum capital requirement. Under the Belize Companies Act 2022, IBCs must file annual tax returns and maintain accounting records for five years, though audits are only required for entities exceeding specific thresholds. Beneficial ownership information must be submitted via the Online Business Registry System (OBRS). While IBCs can now engage in local business and own property, such activities subject them to local taxation. This modernized framework balances offshore benefits with enhanced compliance, making Belize a competitive jurisdiction for international structuring.
