Establishing a presence in the Cayman Islands will allow you to grow your business, protect your intellectual property, and enjoy the benefits of a tax neutral and pro-business environment.
There are two options when considering moving part of or your entire business to Cayman. The Cayman Enterprise City (CEC) special economic zones, which was established by a unanimous act of Parliament in 2011, is the only special economic zone Operator in the Cayman Islands. Designed to boost investment, drive economic diversification, and help to build socio-economic resilience and sustainability for the Cayman Islands, CEC offers businesses a real, on-the-ground presence in a world-class jurisdiction.
CEC is now the home of more than 400 knowledge- and technology-focused businesses, produces over 150 industry/networking events each year, and has boosted the local economy by an estimated US $1.07 billion since inception. Joining CEC grants access to their new purpose-built mixed-use development located on the outskirts of central George Town, in the vibrant South Sound community. CEC members enjoy the certainty of the transparent concessions included in the Special Economic Zones Act and the Immigration (Transition) Act, which enable businesses to get set-up and operational within 4-6 weeks and reduces setup and ongoing operational costs by up to 40%.
