The fastest and most cost-effective way to move your business to the Cayman Islands. Get Started Today!

As a community member if you qualify for permanent residency from within the SEZ, including via one of the PR by investment schemes, your annual right to work fee will be significantly lower as opposed to setting up within the local economy.

Import duties are also waived for all business related items – including servers, PCs, laptops, and other technical equipment. For individuals relocating to the Cayman Islands personal items may be imported duty free during the first 6 months of residency. 

By setting up a physical presence with CEC, global companies will not only be compliant with global standards but will also positively impact Cayman’s sustainable future and growing knowledge-based economy. 

Corporate banking relationships are available to special economic zone businesses. Our team will be happy to recommend preferred banking partners who can assist you with setting up corporate bank accounts in the Cayman Islands.

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