Belize - the offshore jurisdiction that beats the clock
Belize provides same-day offshore incorporations as standard. It will often take only a few hours to register a new IBC in Belize! Moreover, due to its location, it may very well turn back the clock. Belize is 14 hours behind Hong Kong, and 7 hours behind London. So, when the business day has already closed in either Far East or Europe, the day only dawns in Belize. So, when You are really pressed to have your offshore IBC registered TODAY, but your “today” has already expired, you can still get your incorporation done under today`s date – in Belize!
In many other respects, too, Belize beats the competition.
Belize is the only country in Central and South America with English being its official language. A continental country with diversified and robust national economy, Belize does not stand out as a distinct “tax-haven”. However, it actually is a tax haven, as good as they come.
Belize has a modern International Business Companies Act, Trusts Act, Mutual Funds Act and Offshore Banking Act, all geared towards providing the best environment and offshore benefits to the international investor and entrepreneur. These laws are supported by an efficient financial services sector.
Belize does not disclose information under any information-exchange agreements to any foreign parties on grounds of suspected tax evasion or similar grounds. Client confidentiality is strongly enshrined in the Belizean business legislation. In these terms, Belize is arguably the most secure and confidential offshore jurisdiction.

Country
Belize is located in the southeast part of the Yucatan peninsula, on the Caribbean coast. Belize borders with Mexico and Guatemala. The total land area of Belize is 22`806 square kilometres and it easily accomodates its 288 thousand inhabitants. Since 1970, the capital of Belize is Belmopan – a custom designed town in the exact geographic centre of Belize. The old capital of Belize City (80`000) remains the largest city and the main economic hub of Belize.
Belize is an independent nation, part of the British Commonwealth, the United Nations and the Non Aligned-Movement. It`s a parliamentary democracy, with the legal and judiciary system based on the English Common Law. Belize has a perfect record of peace, stability and democracy. Unlike some other states in the region, Belize has never been involved in any conflicts or civil disturbances.
The national currency of Belize is the Belizean dollar, which is tied to the US dollar at a rate of 2:1. The US dollar is also in free circulation in Belize, being a legal tender and thus providing for an outstanding monetary stability.
Belize is one of the most attractive eco-tourism destinations of the world, with superb natural beauty and exotic wildlife. Apart from tourism, the export of timber, marine products and tropical agricultural products (sugar, citrus) constitute a substantial part of the national economy.
