Why BLDV is invested in Belize?

CDM credits
Alternative energy projects in Belize qualify for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) credits

Belize is a member of:
The British Commonwealth of Nations
The Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM)

Belize Participates in:
The Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) where Belize is free from the $0.54 per gallon tariff on ethanol exported to US.

Belize is obviously a preferred choice in Central America for foreign investments.

Belize is the land of opportunity for the international investor.

English Speaking
Belize is the only official English speaking country in Central America. Belize was a British Colony (British Honduras) for over 100 years until becoming independent within The British Commonwealth of Nations in 1981.

Because all business is transacted in english, commerce with the United States and several european nations is extremely efficient.

Democratic
Belize is a Parliamentary Democracy and Constitutional Monarchy with Queen Elizabeth as monarch. It has a democratic tradition; independent judiciary, and an exchange rate fixed to the US Dollar ($2.00 BZD = $1.00 USD) for the last 25 years.

Profitable
Belize offers Flexible Fiscal Incentives, Commercial Free Zones, Export Processing Zones, Repatriation of Profits and Dividends.

Eco-friendly Environment
Belize has friendly people, subtropical climate, virgin rain-forests, unspoiled beaches and is home of the largest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere.

The Laws
Belize has a legal system derived from English Common Law supplemented by local legislation. The court system is also similar to that in England and contract and commercial law is based on the English model. Belize has no agreement with other sovereign nations which would interfere with the confidentiality and the security of the Offshore Business Environment

Government Incentives
The Belize Government has established a host of incentives to promote investment; specifically foreign investment.

Property Investment
For potential investors considering real estate in Belize:

Property prices in desirable parts of Belize have been steadily increasing in value for the past 25 years! This means that whatever one buys, they are almost guaranteed a great return.

Belize has a long history of private property ownership rights. Foreign buyers are able to purchase real estate in Belize unrestricted; meaning they have the same rights to own freehold property title deeds as a Belizean, so there are no special permissions or permits required. Whether you’re a local or a foreigner, the Government of Belize collects a Transfer Tax fee of 5% of the purchase price whenever title is transferred from one owner(s) to the next. There is no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax in Belize. Thus, if you sell or will your property in Belize neither you nor your beneficiaries will suffer taxation upon the disposal of your Belizean real estate asset(s).
