Availability of Names

It is becoming increasingly difficult in established offshore jurisdictions, where thousands of companies have been formed, to obtain the company name you want. As an emerging offshore jurisdiction, a wide choice of names is still available in Anguilla. Additionally the online companies' registry system (ACORN) is also able to handle company names written in foreign characters.

The Companies Act and its complementary legislation, the International Business Companies Act, together with other enactments (such as the Trusts Act), provide a comprehensive, up-to-date and familiar system. Additionally the legislation provides for many different types of companies.
