International site selection can facilitate your company’s growth and profitability but finding the right location can be tricky. There are so many excellent reasons to consider an overseas business headquarters, and with the award-winning Cayman Enterprise City’s (CEC) Special Economic Zones (SEZ) being the corporate relocation and site selection of choice for over 200 global companies, we wanted to share our top criteria you should be considering before making your decision.
1. Incentives
Tax NeutralityVisas and Licensing
Businesses within Cayman Enterprise City also enjoy fast-tracked operations credentials and visas so you can hit the ground running in a month or less. With no H1-B visa restrictions in Cayman, setting up in 4-6 weeks is possible and allows you to get renewable five-year work/residency visas processed in five working days. The highly efficient Client Experience team at CEC can also help with Trade Certificates (business licensing) so you don’t have to worry about red tape slowing down your relocation progress.
2. Infrastructure
Of course, it’s important to look at business laws, incentives, and logistics, but the area that is often overlooked but critical to your day-to-day operations is infrastructure. The right physical arrangements, technological systems, and other critical logistical frameworks need to be present for your businesses to thrive, and most importantly, grow.
In addition, CEC has a network of reliable IT and telecommunication providers, office machinery and equipment suppliers, and ample local talent we can put you in touch with.
Personal
It’s not just your business; even basic things like road quality and traffic laws are a big part of the infrastructural reality that will contribute to—or detract from—your day-to-day quality of life in your new location.
The Cayman Islands are British Overseas Territories, offering excellent state-of-the-art healthcare, an education system based on English GCSE standards, well-maintained public spaces, and a stable political climate with pro-business local government.
Support
You won’t be making the big move alone, so you need to know you have a network of support throughout your corporate site relocation.
We work with expert local realtors, shippers, movers, local talent and support. Aside from this, our wide service network will make relocating a smooth experience. We’ll connect you to over 120 trusted service providers, including the top lawyers, accountants, tax advisors, and local banks, with no extra charge to you.
3. Lifestyle
