The British Virgin Islands is a chain of 50 islands comprising 59 square miles. Approximately 15 of these islands are inhabited, of which the largest is Tortola with 21 square miles and a population of 25,000.
The British Virgin Islands is a self-governing, politically stable British Crown Colony with a self-legislative assembly and has become an important centre for offshore business activities.
The islands boast two thriving economies, tourism and offshore investment. Major world banks and state of the art communications make the B.V.I. an ideal offshore financial centre.
The U.S. Dollar is the legal tender in the B.V.I. and its official language is English.

There are in excess of 800,000 International Business Companies currently registered in the islands, making BVI one of the fastest growing offshore investments centers in the world.
