Why does the number of authorised shares change what I pay each year?

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

Because the BVI government fee has two bands, split at 50,000 authorised shares, and the higher band costs much more every year. Our Starter price assumes up to 50,000 shares, which is enough for most holding companies. If you need more, say so at checkout and we quote the higher fee before you pay.
