Being Madeira part of the European Union, the MIBC is an ideal entry point to the EU market. The MIBC has constantly been authorised by the European Union as a valid form of State Aid for regional development and is fully regulated and supervised by the Portuguese tax authorities, the Bank of Portugal and other regulatory entities. It is well worth noting that Madeira has reduced operational costs when compared to other EU countries, as well as high-quality support services. We, therefore, like to consider Madeira an onshore domicile of excellence.
