Main Characteristics and the basic rules of Company registration in Gibraltar

Gibraltar - Introduction

Sometimes business owners choose small sized countries including island countries to test before taking their ventures to bigger markets. If you have similar thoughts and want to capture the European market in long run, choosing Gibraltar as the first overseas business destination sounds logical. This British Overseas territory is very small in size- just 6.7 km². However, do not write it off for the dimension! The small island country, located next to Spain, has potential for business investors. You may want to check our Gibraltar Company Formation package for availing several benefits.

Gibraltar has a history of conflict over dominance between Spain and the UK. However, the sovereignty disputes are mostly sorted by now and investors need not worry much about it. The Govt of UK now handles foreign relations and defense etc.

The economy of Gibraltar has been thriving and the major areas are tourism, shipping, online gambling and finance related services. Even if your company is not exactly under any of these segments- there is no reason why you should not think of Gibraltar as a destination for venture expansion. There are quite a few UK based and international banks operating here.

When you start business in another country, hiring skilled and suitable workforce is a prime requirement. The majority of people in Gibraltar speak English and they also know Spanish. This will be good from business setup and expansion perspective.

For carrying out business operation in any country, robust transport and communication infrastructure is necessary. Gibraltar has prospered in these areas over the years by leaps and bounds. It is connected to the major cities in both the UK and Spain by daily flights. The Gibraltar Cruise Terminal is excellent for naval transport.

You should also think of Gibraltar for its tax advantages for businesses. The corporate tax rate in Gibraltar is only 10%-way lower than most countries in the EU. The lack of exchange control may also seem viable for business setup and expansion. You need not worry about inheritance tax, capital gains tax and VAT. However, you may still seek our Gibraltar Company Formation package so that delay and hurdles are minimized.

There are several factors that may motivate you to invest in this country. However, seeking our consultancy will make things easier for you. Contact BRIS group for expert assistance on the matter. You should take time to check out our Gibraltar Company Formation package.
