The islands make up part of the Virgin Islands archipelago; the remaining islands constitute the United States Virgin Islands and the Spanish Virgin Islands.

BVI is about 150 square kilometers and consists of the main islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke, along with over 50 other smaller islands and cays (about 15 of the islands are resident). 

British Virgin Islanders have been called British Overseas Territories Citizens and have had the right to take up full UK citizenship since 2002. Although BVI is not a part of the European Union ("EU") and is not subjected directly to EU law, its citizens are considered to be EU citizens. Hence, many entrepreneurs have chosen to set up offshore company in BVI to take advantages during their international business.

Due to BVI Government Policy, BVI appears to be one of the most attractive investment destinations globally and is named "Offshore Tax Incentives".

International Business Company ("IBC") is referred to as Offshore company. Specifically, IBC is a popular type of company for foreign individuals/businesses to establish a company in BVI.

After the British Virgin Islands International Business Companies Ordinance was adopted in 1984, the Offshore companies have attained a position in the Offshore services industry. Furthermore, with more than 600,000 total incorporations and more than 5000 new companies registered every month, BVI is by far the most popular Offshore Tax Incentives.
