The Business Case

St. Lucia has moved from being a well-kept secret as an investment destination, to a position in the world spotlight. In the last two years the World Bank has put St Lucia in the World's top 40 countries for ease of doing business and the number one country in the English speaking Caribbean.

Doing business from a St Lucia base makes commercial sense for a host of reasons including:

• A simple and unified tax structure
• Special incentives for specific industries
• CARICOM membership
• Import Duty Concessions
• Tax holidays for qualifying firms
• Property available for businesses (free zones and industrial estates)
• An easy-to-follow roadmap to register your business, obtain work permits etc.
• World class telecommunications services
• Unrestricted repatriation of profits and capital
• A highly competitive cost base
• A flexible and adaptable work force
• Reliable utilities

Last, but not least, the Government of St Lucia and Invest St Lucia are there to help you every step of the way.
