The relocation challenge: balancing tech-driven business growth with lifestyle needs.

As Impact47 gained momentum, expanding its client base and service offerings, the demands of managing a tech-driven consultancy began to outgrow its London base. With increasing work in the US market, Arvo and Ina found themselves balancing the complexities of serving clients across time zones while maintaining the fast-paced operations of their firm. The pressures of running a growing consultancy, coupled with the intensity of London’s work environment, soon made it clear that they needed a change. It wasn’t just about finding a more efficient way to serve their clients — it was also about seeking a location that offered both the professional advantages needed to scale and a better quality of life.

After exploring 14 different jurisdictions, including Dubai and Singapore, they found that none struck the right balance between a supportive business environment and an enhanced lifestyle. They needed a location that offered:

  • Proximity to US clients
  • A strong legal and financial infrastructure
  • Favourable tax conditions
  • A high standard of living with modern amenities and a welcoming expat community

Why Cayman was the perfect fit for Impact47.

The Cayman Islands quickly emerged as the perfect base for Impact47. Located in the Eastern Standard Time zone and with daily direct flights to key US and international cities, the island offers a legal system rooted in English law and a well-established financial infrastructure — ideal for supporting their tech-driven operations. Cayman’s advanced digital infrastructure, including secure, high-speed internet, ensures that Impact47’s AI-powered tools and data analytics function seamlessly, enabling the company to deliver real-time insights to clients across time zones without interruption.

Beyond business, Cayman’s welcoming expat community, stunning natural surroundings, and modern amenities provided Arvo and Ina with the work-life balance they had been seeking. Their mornings now begin with a swim in the clear Caribbean waters, and they’ve fully embraced the vibrant local community. This balance between professional growth and personal fulfilment has not only driven their business success but also enriched their everyday lives.

TechCayman has been absolutely fantastic. From the moment we connected, they made sure we had everything we needed to settle in quickly. Their team walked us through every step — from fulfilling government requirements to finding office space — and have always been available to answer questions about local nuances. Moving a company across borders is a big decision, but TechCayman made it so much easier.

How TechCayman made relocation simple.

Although Arvo and Ina were confident in their decision to relocate, moving a tech-focused business internationally can be complex. TechCayman stepped in to make the process straightforward.

TechCayman provided:

  • Business set-up & legal support: TechCayman’s network of local experts helped Impact47 navigate the regulatory landscape efficiently. With their legal entity established quickly, Arvo and Ina could focus on growing their business confident that the compliance process was handled.
  • Seamless relocation: TechCayman guided them through immigration requirements, work permits and office space solutions. The streamlined application process ensured Impact47 was operational without delays, and flexible workspace options allowed them to hot-desk while finalising their set-up.
  • Ongoing support: Even after the move, TechCayman provided continued assistance with navigating local customs, regulatory changes and networking opportunities, enabling Impact47 to grow in a new market with confidence.

Why other clients should consider relocating with TechCayman.

Impact47’s story shows that with the right support, relocating a business doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’re seeking access to advanced tech infrastructure, proximity to North American markets or a better work-life balance, the Cayman Islands offers a unique combination of professional and lifestyle benefits. With TechCayman’s expert guidance, every step — from business set-up to ongoing operations — is handled efficiently, allowing you to focus on what matters most: growing your business.
