Why the Isle of Man?

As a leading international business centre, the Isle of Man has a strong, diversified economy and a well-developed business community. Professional services and other business support sectors are well positioned to support start-ups, branch offices and established businesses relocating to the Island.

The Isle of Man economy is diverse with sectors such as insurance, e-gaming, banking, ICT, manufacturing and retail all contributing to consistent overall growth. The financial services sector is well established with an enviable reputation for complying with, and often exceeding, international standards in areas such as anti-money laundering and tax information exchange. Impellity offers innovative and flexible services to enable businesses to maximise their potential and growth.

A high standard of education and skilled workforce means that the Isle of Man is ideally placed to accommodate new businesses, both in established sectors and in innovative areas which require agile and independent thinking.

When speaking of nurturing business concepts, it is easy to undermine what makes successful business concepts work - people. Happiness of staff and founders directly impact performance of the company. Luckily, the Isle of Man is a great place to live.

An annual survey conducted by HSBC has ranked the Isle of Man as the best place to live in the British Isles, and 12th best in the world. The survey found that 92% of Isle of Man Expats said they felt safer and more secure than where they previously lived, which is the highest sentiment measured and almost double the average (48%) of other countries. In terms of political stability, the Island ranked fourth in the world.

Work-life balance, outdoor activities and a strong sense of community are some of the reasons that expats are staying in the Isle of Man longer than planned, with expats remaining on the Island an average of 8.2 years longer than planned. The global average was 4.3 years. 74% of respondents said that their quality of life had improved since moving to the Isle of Man, and nearly half said their mental wellbeing has improved.

Isle of Man is a perfect host for Impellity Isle of Man Limited to open their dedicated incubation & acceleration facility, as the island's agile Government is unique in a sense that it is fully supportive of the new business and tech initiatives, as well as small enough to act quickly and efficiently.

Culturally, the working practices on the Isle of Man haven’t been badly impacted by Covid-19. This is due to shorter timescales in lockdown. Where bigger cities were previously seen as attractive places to work, smaller co-working spaces on the Isle of Man now offer that same level of attraction.
