- Must adhere to economic substance requirements, where required
- A BC may own land in SVG as long as it obtains an Alien Land Holding Licence.
- May issue registered shares only. Bearer shares are not permitted.
- May have only one director and one shareholder.
- Must register directors and shareholders.
- Shareholders, directors and officers may reside anywhere in the world and their meetings may be held wherever they decide. There is no residency or nationality requirement for shareholders, directors and/or officers of a SVG BC.
