Choosing the wrong jurisdiction for your startup costs more than legal fees — it costs months of delay, limited banking options, and a restructuring bill you didn’t budget for. Whether you’re setting up your first entity or expanding across borders, getting the structure right from day one is the difference between momentum and friction.
BlockOffice provides global incorporation services, helping startup founders register and manage companies across BVI, Cayman Islands, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, and other jurisdictions. Founded in 2022 and backed by angel investors from Temasek, KKR, and Coinbase, we’ve supported 500+ companies with entity formation, corporate secretarial services, and ongoing compliance.
We form and manage entities across the world’s most important startup jurisdictions. Each comes with its own regulatory framework, tax treatment, and banking landscape.
One of the world’s most established offshore jurisdictions. We incorporate BVI Business Companies, arrange registered agent services, and advise on structuring for SAFT, SAFE, and equity issuances. Zero corporate tax, no annual audit, and strong privacy protections.

We incorporate companies in Singapore, British Virgin Islands (BVI), Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Dubai, Delaware, Panama, Seychelles, and other jurisdictions on request. Most startup clients incorporate in 2–3 jurisdictions depending on their investor base, product type, and regulatory requirements.
Timelines vary by jurisdiction. Singapore typically completes within 1–2 business days. BVI takes 1–3 business days. Cayman takes approximately 5–10 business days. Hong Kong takes 4–6 business days. These timelines assume all KYC documentation is in order.
BVI formation costs depend on the complexity of your structure, whether you need nominee services, and the number of entities involved. Our packages include registered agent services, document preparation, and ongoing compliance support. Contact us for a specific quote.
Yes. Singapore requires at least one director who is a local resident. If you don’t have a local presence, BlockOffice provides qualified nominee director services — you retain full operational control while meeting regulatory requirements.
Both are popular for Web3 companies, but they serve different purposes. BVI is typically used for holding companies, trading entities, and equity-based fundraising structures (SAFE, SAFT). Cayman is preferred for foundation structures (DAOs and token launches), regulated fund vehicles, and the VASP framework. Many crypto companies use both.
Full corporate secretarial support including statutory register maintenance, board and shareholder resolutions, annual return filing, AGM preparation, minute-keeping, and regulatory compliance monitoring across Singapore, Hong Kong, BVI, Cayman, and all jurisdictions where your entities operate.
Yes. We assist with corporate bank account setup in Singapore, Hong Kong, and other jurisdictions. This includes preparing documentation, coordinating with banking partners, and managing the application process. For crypto-native companies, we advise on neobank and payment account options.
It depends on where your investors are, whether you’re raising equity or tokens, and your 3-year plan. Singapore is strong for APAC-based VC fundraising. Delaware C-corps are the standard for US institutional investors. BVI and Cayman are common for token-based structures. Most venture-backed startups end up with entities in 2–3 jurisdictions. We help you evaluate which combination fits your specific situation.
Whether you’re incorporating your first entity, restructuring across jurisdictions, or need ongoing corporate secretarial support — let’s talk about what your startup needs right now.
