Is a Belize company still called an IBC?

Last updated: Oct 24, 2026, 15:06 (UTC+08:00)

No. The Belize Companies Act 2022 replaced the old International Business Companies regime. Companies are now formed as companies limited by shares, and former IBCs had to re-register under the new Act. Old guides that describe Belize IBCs are out of date.
