Saint Lucia is a sovereign island country in the eastern Caribbean Sea on the boundary with the Atlantic Ocean.
St. Lucia has always been a jurisdiction ripe for expansion and in keeping with this obvious trend, the country, in 1999 enacted a modern piece of offshore financial legislation, the International Business Companies Act. This Act is fashioned in such a way that it provides utmost flexibility and advantages for the client, while at the same time preserving the integrity of the Island's industry. It is popular because it offers client confidentiality and anonymity, no audit or reporting requirements, with low annual government fees and flexible corporate arrangement possibilities.
The official language is English and the currency is East Caribbean dollar (XCD).
