Anguilla is a dependent territory of Great Britain located in the Caribbean region on the Antilles archipelago. Officially, the jurisdiction is headed by the Queen of Great Britain, who is represented by the Governor-General in the country.
Anguilla - the main island of the archipelago - is decorated with beautiful coral shores, but its lime soil is not suitable for agriculture ; The main revenues of the jurisdiction come from the tourist and financial / offshore sectors of the economy.

FIVECONSULT comment:
Anguilla is a classic tax-free jurisdiction that does not require complicated procedures for supporting companies and their annual reporting.Anguilla has relatively liberal requirements for abbreviations of registered companies. For example, along with standard Ltd., Corp., Inc. It is also possible to use other abbreviations or concepts such as Societe a Responsabilite Limitee, SARL, Societe Anonyme, S.A., Besloten Vennootschap, B.V., Naamloze Vennootschap, N.V., Gesellschaft mit beschrankter Haftung, GmbH. The legislation stipulates “the possibility of using other abbreviations indicating limited liability of the company.”
It should be noted that, as a British dependent territory, Anguilla has relatively high standards in respect of Due Diligence (“know your customer”).
