Limited liability company in Belize and its benefits

Belize is one of the best destinations for foreign investors in terms of tax advantages and favorable investment policy. And one of the most chosen forms of company types to incorporate in this jurisdiction is a limited liability company.

Below are the key characteristics of this business type (these are also the reasons why you should open a limited liability company (LLC) in Belize):

Ultimate Tax Advantages

A limited liability company is exempted from many kinds of taxes in Belize, namely income tax, business tax, withholding tax, asset tax, gift tax, capital gains tax, distributions tax, inheritance tax, estate duty, etc.

Fast Registration

The process of registering an LLC in Belize is surprisingly fast, only in a couple of days. And you do not have to physically present in this jurisdiction to open your own company since you can have a service provider like BBCIncorp to register it for you.

Member Flexibility

A limited liability company in Belize requires only a manager and a member. Essentially, both the manager and member need not to be residents in Belize. In fact, any nationality is acceptable and an entity is also allowed to become a member of an LLC.

Limited Liability of Member

As the name of the company type suggests, each member only has liability limited only to his/her contribution to an LLC. Other than that, the individual holds no further personal liability for any debts incurred during the company’s operation in Belize.

Ultimate Privacy

It is very important to note down that no personal information of members, managers, or beneficial owners of a limited liability company need to be filed to the Registrar. Thus, no personal information is disclosed to the public.

Nominee services for members are also available if necessary.

Asset Protection

Under the related Belize laws, a limited liability company is shielded from its member’s liability and debt. For instance, a creditor can only apply for an order to put a lien on a member’s interest from an LLC but cannot claim anything from the LLC’s assets.

But that’s not it! An LLC’s in Belize is also protected from any orders or judgment made by foreign courts. The only courts who can order to seizure of an LLC and its assets are the ones in Belize.
