E Business Introduction
‘E Business’ is the umbrella term for the division within Government which deals specifically with businesses whose products or services are online-orientated or whose operations have cutting-edge technology as their backbone.
E business is a pro-active force, dedicated to fostering an environment in which this area of the economy can flourish, by identifying the initiatives and changes requisite for development.
E business also provides a valuable point of contact for established or start-up businesses seeking to relocate to the Isle of Man, as well as an ongoing resource for those already based here.
At this point in time, the Island offers a unique combination of advantages to the 21st Century business. Political stability, a favourable corporate tax regime and excellence as a financial centre (as evidenced by its ‘AAA’ rating) provide the ideal foundations on which to base a business. In addition to this, the Island has invested in its IT and telecommunications infrastructure to the extent that these are now considered to be amongst the most robust in the world.
All this adds up to a dynamic business proposition, as growth industries which have invested on the Island – in everything from e gaming to disaster recovery - have discovered.
