9 AM–12 PM AST for fund administration and law firms; 2 PM–4 PM for follow-ups. Avoid Monday mornings when offshore compliance queues are heaviest.

Pro tip

For the BVI, 10–11 AM AST on a Tuesday or Wednesday delivers the highest connect rate for company secretarial and fund admin contacts.

Consider time zones

Ensure your call aligns with the local time zone so you never accidentally ring at an unreasonable hour.

Workday schedules

Most professionals are reachable 9 AM – 5 PM local time. Avoid the lunch window from 12–1 PM for the best pickup rates.
