Country overview

About Belize

Belize is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy in Central America, on the Caribbean Sea. Belmopan is the capital. About 410,000 people live here. It borders Mexico and Guatemala. English is the official language. The currency is the Belize dollar (BZD), pegged to the United States dollar.

Belize offers IBC and LLC vehicles used when that legal home is required for holding. English common law is the company-law tradition. Belmopan is the seat of government; Belize City remains the larger commercial town. We form the company where a Belize vehicle is required.

Brikseka forms companies in Belize. The usual vehicles are an IBC or an LLC. Incorporation is remote, typically one to five days. No visit is required. No local director is required for a standard vehicle.

We then advise on banking with the limits stated plainly. Stripe and PayPal are not available on a Belize company. Merchant accounts and electronic money institutions typically cannot be opened on a Belize IBC. Approvals for any account are decided by the providers. Forming a company is not a residence permit.

  • Holding vehicle

    We form the legal entity where a Belize vehicle is required. Stripe and PayPal are not available on this company.

How we work

From briefing to a registered company

  1. Briefing

    We review your business, the right entity for this country, costs, and whether a visit is likely.

    Local counsel, notary where required, and the commercial register. We coordinate the documents through to a registered company.

  3. Banking and payments

    Statutory records, a named contact, and introductions to accounting so the company can operate.
