Isle of Man Company Incorporation

The Isle of Man is an attractive location for setting up a company and relocating your family.   Offering a welcoming community, stable and self-governing environment, leading technological infrastructure, and easy access to the United Kingdom and the rest of the world, you can be confident your business and family will flourish here. The Isle of Man is a great place to do business, whether you are a new company, an established corporation, or an organisation looking to relocate. In light of this, the Isle of Man is among the best locations for raising a young family or spending your golden years due to the relaxed and peaceful way of life, free health services, and the lowest level of crime in the British Isles.

While there are many reasons why it’s beneficial to incorporate an Isle of Man company, we will get started with the basics – its location.

Where is the Isle of Man located?

The Isle of Man is located in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland. It is a self-governing British Crown Dependency and, therefore, not part of the United Kingdom or European Union.

Despite its location, the Isle of Man is well connected via air links with most major airports situated in the UK and sea links to the UK and Ireland. The ability to stay connected to the rest of the UK and further afield makes it a popular choice for entrepreneurs and business owners.

While it may have once had a reputation for being a ‘tax haven’ the island has strong financial regulations and complies with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s global standards on tax co-operation and exchange of information.

As the Island has some of the lowest tax rates in Europe and annual salaries on average higher than the UK, it provides a cost-effective opportunity for business owners  – making it the ideal place to register your company.

These are our top reasons why the Isle of Man is a fantastic location for retirement, company establishment, and living.
