Build cost held

Reviewable now, but the build / systems cost stays held for the fiscal annex until it is sourced.

Commitment 03

A Future That Works

Open your business in thirty days. Government checks compliance, not permission.

One digital portal, a thirty-day deadline on government, and no more waiting months on a permit that should take weeks.

Pillar

A Future That Works

Commitment

03 / 07

Gov deadline

30 days

Launch

First 100 days

The Mechanism

What we will do.

The mechanism, in four parts. Plain, not marketing.

Model

Companies House model. One digital portal.

Process

A single application, with a Small Business Support Desk for help.

Deadline

Government has thirty days. Missed deadlines reported publicly.

Delivery

The portal launches in the first hundred days.
The Argument

Why it matters.

Government does not create jobs – Virgin Islanders do. But for years the people trying to build something have been met with months of delay, unclear rules, and offices that move at their own pace. Every delay is a cost paid by the person taking the risk.

01

Rewards the people who back themselves.

The contractor, the vendor, the young entrepreneur.

02

Changes the relationship with government.

Its job is to check that you are compliant, then get out of your way – not to decide whether you deserve permission.

03

A direct line from the declaration to economic agency.

Build something here, on your own terms.
The Believability Layer

How it works.

The questions a voter actually has, answered plainly.

Where

Online, from any island – no boat to Tortola to file. Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke served the same as Tortola.

Who Benefits

Any Virgin Islander starting or formalizing a business.

Form It Takes

A single online application through one portal, on the Companies House model.

Protections

A published thirty-day deadline on government, with missed deadlines reported publicly.

How & When

The portal opens in the first hundred days.
Cost & Credibility

The case.

What it costs, who pays, and why it works. Where a figure is not yet sourced, it is held – not guessed.

A What It Costs & Who Pays

This is a process reform, not a spending line. It is built from existing systems and pays for itself in faster registration, more formal businesses, and more revenue collected.

HeldAny build cost is held for the fiscal annex.

B Why It Works

Digital, deadline-bound registration is the standard in well-run small economies. The Companies House model works because it removes discretion: meet the rules, and you are registered. No gatekeeper to wait on.

The Receipts

Every number on this page carries a source before it goes live. If it cannot be sourced, it does not go on the page.

Policy design

Thirty-day deadline; first-hundred-days launch.
