Choosing a jurisdiction shouldn’t feel like studying a tax textbook. You really just need a short list of “go‑to” options and clarity on which one fits you.

Our quick‑hit short list

  • UAE - Zero tax, modern, flexible free zones. Ideal default for global online businesses.
  • Singapore - Asia hub with low tax and world‑class banking. Great for serious, Asia‑focused operations.
  • Hong Kong - Still strong for China‑linked trade and sourcing.
  • Cayman / BVI - Excellent for holding and investment structures with strong legal systems.
  • EU options (Malta, Cyprus) - When you need an EU flag, treaties and credibility.

If you’re overwhelmed by 14+ choices, start with these and ignore the rest until there’s a clear reason.

How to pick in under 20 minutes

Ask yourself: - Where are most of my clients and suppliers? - Do I need an EU, Asia or Middle East base-or just a tax‑efficient HQ? - Is my priority tax, banking, reputation, or pure speed/cost?

Your answers usually point to one or two obvious winners.
