General Info

It became an independent nation in 1981. Belize is a small nation on the eastern coast of Central America on the Caribbean Sea bordered by Mexico to the northwest and Guatemala to the west and south. The country is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy which recognizes Queen Elizabeth II as Sovereign. The name is shared by the Belize River and Belize City, the former capital and largest city.

Placing an order for the formation of a company.

Alternatively to register a brand-new company, you can also buy a ready-made company from the list available. A ready-made company normally has an open configuration (its directors are not yet appointed and the shares are not yet issued). Therefore the final configuration of a shelf company is made at a later stage.

In addition, you are not obliged to prepare or file any financial accounts but it is recommended by practice to prepare or file them in your office.

Atrium will check the name availability of the company (whether there is no company under such name already).
In Belize the law requires that all financial service providers know the identity of their client so the actual contact details must be indicated at the Registry Agent. This information remains confidential.
