What must a BVI company name end with?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

A company limited by shares ends in Limited, Corporation or Incorporated, or a foreign equivalent such as Société Anonyme or Sociedad Anónima, or the abbreviation Ltd, Corp, Inc or S.A. The name cannot match an existing company, and words such as bank, insurance or fund need consent or a licence (confirm with your specialist). Give us up to three names and we check them with the registry before filing.
