What Are Your Corporate and Real Estate Needs?
We would like to welcome you if you are new to the Turks and Caicos Islands! This is an exciting time to start or expand your business here. The Turks and Caicos have seen economic growth year after year, and as international interest in the Island continues to increase with more people turning their attention to our private little paradise, that growth won’t be slowing down any time soon.
While starting a corporation in Turks and Caicos is fairly streamlined, it is a heavily regulated process. Foreign investors are required to seek approval from governing officials, buying real estate has some hurdles that must be cleared, and ensuring your business is in compliance with all local regulations is imperative.. The Turks and Caicos Islands offer a tax-neutral and business-friendly environment, supported by clear regulatory frameworks designed to ensure orderly and compliant commercial activity. Failing to build your business in compliance with our regulations can result in expensive delays or even a complete rejection.

What Are Common Real Estate Issues Encountered When Starting or Expanding a Business in Turks and Caicos?
Real estate is one of the first major considerations for many entrepreneurs who want to establish a venture in the Turks and Caicos Islands. While our business climate is favorable, several real estate-related hurdles can slow down or complicate expansion if mishandled. From navigating Crown land leases to ensuring compliance and development regulations, the process requires careful legal planning and due diligence. That’s why our real estate team is here to help interested entrepreneurs!
Some of the most common real estate issues business owners face in TCI include:
- Crown land restrictions – Many properties are government-owned and can only be leased, not purchased, by non-citizens, who must seek approval from the Crown Land Unit.
- Zoning and land use compliance – All businesses must align with local development plans and zoning laws.
- Permit delays – Building or modifying commercial property requires planning permission, which often faces bureaucratic slowdowns.

Which Country’s Laws Govern the Turks and Caicos Islands?
The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory, which means their legal system is grounded in English common law, supplemented by local statutes and ordinances passed by the territory’s government.
While TCI governs many of its internal affairs, the United Kingdom remains in charge of certain key matters, such as external affairs, defense, and internal security. TCI’s legal structure combines British legal traditions with locally tailored regulations designed to suit its economic and geographic needs. That means that entrepreneurs, investors, and individuals navigating the legal landscape need legal advisors who understand both UK-based legal principles and the nuances of TCI’s domestic legal framework.
Key features of our legal system include:
- English common law as the underlying legal foundation
- Local legislation enacted by the House of Assembly and interpreted by resident judges
- The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the United Kingdom serves as the final appellate court.
- The absence of jury trials in most criminal and civil proceedings; trials are typically adjudicated by judges alone
At F Chambers, our legal professionals are well-versed in both UK legal principles and the domestic legal and regulatory regime of the Turks and Caicos Islands, ensuring our clients receive comprehensive and contextually informed legal guidance.
