Concierge Service

BACKGROUND

Business Isle of Man through the Department for Enterprise has always provided support to companies relocating or expanding their current set-up in the Island. The guidance provided by the Department, with regards to site selection and planning applications has been instrumental in helping complex development projects move from conception to execution. 

This is in addition to the support required for other aspects of setting up including immigration/work permits, financial support and tax.

The Concierge Service is the formalisation of this process of support and would help set expectations for businesses using it while also unlocking significant economic benefits for the wider community.
