The USVI is a great place to establish a business! In addition to a full range of businesses to serve and supply the local population, opportunities also exist to service the tourist trade in such areas as retail stores and gift shops, hotels, restaurants, and attractions such as dive operations and the like. Better yet, if you establish a qualifying business and hire local employees, your business can be eligible for generous government tax incentives[2] which will eliminate almost all income taxes[5],and local taxes[6] for ten years or more.
