Located in an enviable geographic area and accessible from various corners of the world, St. Maarten is an ideal place for conducting business.  The island is a quick 2 ½ hour flight from Miami, a 4 hour flight from New York, and has direct flights to and from major cities in Europe.

This 37 square mile island offers dual business opportunities, facilitated through its ties to the European Union.  Although English is the predominant language and the dollar the predominant currency, St. Maarten is governed by the two European powers of Holland and France.

Ongoing infrastructure improvements also contribute to the ease of conducting business on St. Maarten.  The island’s new cruise ship, yacht and airport facilities, and a modern, competitive and integrated telecommunications system bring millions of visitors annually.

Tax, Legal & Production Cost Advantages
As a result of the internet and its global scope, many American companies, used to regarding the United States as the world's most open and free society, are reevaluating their business operations and asking such questions as:

• Should we move our operations offshore to improve cost effectiveness?
• Would offshore operations provide a more relaxed legal environment?
• Would an offshore environment offer more protection and more confidential production, hosting and management services?

More and more companies are answering yes to these questions and are bringing their business activities to smaller, more liberal nations like St. Maarten.  St. Maarten, for example, does not have any laws specific to the internet, but does have strong secrecy laws that allow for the prosecution of anyone who illegally gives out confidential information. 

St. Maarten also has the only true duty-free port in the Eastern Caribbean and a solid financial trade economy. Liberal foreign exchange laws that require no license for exchange transactions and small formalities for currency and capital transactions, provide added flexibility.
