Cayman's Global Corporate Citizen Programme

With Cayman Enterprise City, 100% foreign ownership is permissible and you’ll receive a business licence (called a Zone Trade Certificate) to operate your global business from within the Cayman Islands. 

Through Cayman Enterprise City, you can benefit from the Cayman Islands’ tax-neutral platform, with no corporate income, personal income or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands. 

In addition to business licensing, CEC facilitates renewable work and residency rights through Zone Employment Certificates for qualifying individuals and employees.

Special economic zone businesses can apply to establish corporate banking relationships in the Cayman Islands. Our team can introduce you to preferred banking partners that may assist with the corporate account application process. 

Local health insurance is required. As a Global Corporate Citizen, however, you may have access to group rates on a range of health insurance packages through CEC.

As a Global Corporate Citizen, you may benefit from import duty concessions on qualifying business-related items, including servers, computers and other technical equipment.

Individuals relocating to the Cayman Islands may also be eligible to import qualifying personal effects duty-free within the first six months of residency.

Once your relevant work and residency approvals have been granted, you may travel to and from the Cayman Islands in accordance with applicable immigration requirements.

As a Global Corporate Citizen, you will become part of Cayman Enterprise City’s vibrant community of innovators and entrepreneurs. From the moment you arrive, you will have access to an extensive programme of member events, conferences and community activities. 

The Cayman Enterprise City Global Mobility Team can assist with the practical details of relocating, including travel, banking, housing, pets, driving licences, schools, networking, and health and wellness activities.

CEC has developed a comprehensive support programme to help new zone companies and their employees settle comfortably into life in the Cayman Islands.
