We believe that we have come as close as we can to create a culture free from the kind of abuses which have surfaced elsewhere. The Government of Antigua and Barbuda exercises due diligence with respect to each company which seeks to become part of the Zone. Careful checks are made through international law enforcement agencies so as to exclude companies known to have been involved in fraud, money laundering or other illegal activities. When you come to do business among us, you will be part of an elite business fraternity, operating under the most favourable conditions, in partnership with a Government that is responsive, supportive and resolute in its committment to the success of each and every company operating within the Zone. The Free Zone Institute of Training and Technology has been established for this purpose.
Investors can indicate the number of employees and areas of expertise they require.
The Government will select and train the prospective employees as well as pay them during their period of training. Zone Operations Speed and flexibility are central to the operations of the Free Trade Zone of Antigua and Barbuda. Operational control is vested in a Commission which is empowered to run the Zone as a private enterprise. The Zone is an autonomous entity, offering preferential treatment to investors and is capable of processing applications in as short a time span as 24 hours. All rights reserved.
