Is Anguilla right for you?

Anguilla , the most northerly of the Caribbean Leeward Islands, has a landmass of 91 sq km and was originally inhabited by, and was an important home island to, the Arawak Indians, an indigenous Caribbean race. Numerous significant artefacts have recently been unearthed which establish the Fountain (a fresh water underground spring) and other Island sites as important archaeological finds which now draw substantial international interest. The British established control of Anguilla in the late 1600's, prevailing in numerous skirmishes with other European powers throughout the colonial period, so that today Anguilla is a British Dependent Territory.

Anguilla supports a population estimated at 12,000. The Island is generally flat with occasional rainfall, but has the finest powder white sand beaches in the Caribbean. The official language is English; the primary industries are tourism (featuring numerous world class resorts and restaurants, catering to high net worth individuals from the United States, Europe and Latin America), financial services, boat building and fishing. The standard of living and the level of education are both quite high.

Anguilla has, since 1992 (and specifically in 1994), introduced and adopted numerous pieces of modern financial service legislation. These laws were drafted with the involvement of all elected legislators, with the advice of the private sector practitioners, and the consent of British Government representatives.
