Complementary to the fact that Anguilla is a high-class tourist market , the Government and the private sector jointly decided to follow a similar path for its international financial services industry. This has led to the development of a bespoke rather than off-the-peg, flexibly but well regulated, and, probably most importantly "clean" rather than "crooked", offshore industry operating in Anguilla's tax-free environment.

As international trade becomes globalised, the business community is presented with a bewildering number of choices as to the ideal jurisdiction in which to operate. Opting for a low or zero tax country is only one of many factors affecting today's business decisions. Corporate situs is becoming competitively significant as trade barriers fall and facilities such as the Internet become readily available. Commodities such as intellectual property and data need no longer be maintained in jurisdictions with oppressive fiscal and regulatory regimes.
