Sometimes companies may wish to act on behalf of other companies, and offer agency services; something which is not always allowed under the law in some countries.

In this case, the "Company" does not have the authorisation or the legal right, to offer the services of
a) providing a registered office
b) acting as the registered agent
for any other companies which are incorporated in the BVI.
