BVI substance video series - 2: ‘Finance and leasing’ and ‘distribution and service centre’ businesses

The second video from our BVI substance series answers two common questions:

  • What are 'Finance and Leasing' Businesses?
  • What are 'Distribution and Service Centre' Businesses?

Throughout this eight part series we are examining the background and implications of the Economic Substance (Companies and Limited Partnerships) Act 2018 (ESA) which applies to all legal entities carrying on 'relevant activities' in the BVI.

Watch the second video below.
