Companies legislation in Vanuatu is substantially more flexible than that
found in the legislation of other jurisdictions based on British Law.
It is especially suited to foundations. Companies incorporated under the
Vanuatu International Companies Act must not offer shares or debentures to the
public. The cornerstone of the Act is the solvency test. Creditors of the
company are to be protected but the owners can do with the company assets as
they see fit. The result is the ability to pay dividends from profits, reserves
or capital as the Directors wish.
