In this article, we discuss the information and documents available to the public, to directors and to shareholders in relation to a company (a “BVI Company”) incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “BVI Companies Act”).

The BVI Registrar of Corporate Affairs (the “BVI Registrar”) maintains information for BVI Companies and certain of the information filed with the BVI Registrar is available for public inspection on the Virtual Integrated Registry Regulatory General Information Network (“VIRRGIN”). In addition, certain documents filed with the BVI Registrar are or may be available, depending on whether the BVI Company has elected to file such documents.
