Company registration in St. Lucia

Saint Lucia is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. But this territory is attractive for businessmen not only for this reason. Saint Lucia offers a fairly loyal base for the development of foreign business, which becomes the reason for the active interest of foreign entrepreneurs in it. In addition, in this jurisdiction it is possible to create an offshore company operating in the insurance sector, which is in every possible way favored by the island’s authorities.
