The Belizean financial services regulator is professional and rigorous, but at the same time fair. The country has legislation and regulations directed towards protecting investors and promoting business.

If you want a well-regulated jurisdiction that offers tax optimization possibilities, such as zero tax on worldwide income plus a wide range of options and services, Belize is the right place.

Belize recognizes and grants many financial licenses, which include:

  • Formation or management of IBCs or other offshore structures.
  • Trust formation, management, and trustee service provision.
  • International asset protection and management.
  • Money transmission services.
  • Payment processing services.
  • Trading in foreign exchange (FOREX)
  • Trading in financial instruments, commodities, and other securities.
  • Money brokering.
  • Money lending and pawning.
  • Money exchange.
  • Safe custody services.
  • Accounting services.
  • Brokerage, consultancy or advisory services in any of these areas.

Belize, thus, represents one of the world's top financial regulatory jurisdictions. With a wide range of licensing options combined with the British legal system and clear rules, the jurisdiction should be on anyone's radar, especially for those who want a simple and effective licensing solution. This is especially the case for family offices wishing to set up their own captive licensed entities.

The regulation of the financial services industry in Belize requires a great deal of expertise and intimate knowledge of the requirements. Mundo's expert team in Belize has worked closely with the Central Bank and can solve most Belize licensing needs.
