The Isle of Man is already a key location for high-tech financial services and is continually developing its legal and technological infrastructure to meet the growing business demands of e-commerce operations. Its location, telecommunications structure and low tax environment enable it to attract e-commerce from around the world.
The Isle of Man offers secure servers with industry standard telecommunications access to the internet. Comprehensive support services include complete website design, software and hardware suppliers, e-commerce solutions providers and internet payment gateway facilities along with international tax and legal advice and company administration services.
Critically, the Isle of Man offers the space for businesses to set up their own operations on a small or large scale. The Island has an excellent education system that is preparing pupils for technology intensive businesses and has, as a result, very high numbers of computers in every school supported by a teaching staff that are computer literate.
Businesses are able to relocate key personnel to the Island if required and can access a pool of well educated and computer aware individuals. This means that set up and operating costs on the Island remain competitive in comparison to other island jurisdictions.
