Good to Know

With over half its income coming from the licensing of offshore companies and related services, the BVI is a significant global player in the offshore financial services industry.

Re-positioning itself as a responsible international financial centre and tax planning destination, the BVI has turned its attention to Asia-based clients.

According to my own experience, SFM is not a scam, it is a legit business. They enabled me to incorporate a company and submitted the original documents to my place.
I faced some issues in the beginning with the risk evaluation by their country representatives, but with the help of Mr. Salvatore, I was finally able to successfully register it and I would recommend their services for my people.
Thank you Mr. Salvatore.
