Scores 0–10: higher = more favourable for that criterion in the model (CFC reading: high score = weak/no CFC if you are tax-resident here).
Cost of operating
Band: Low
- Setup (USD): $450–900
- Annual (USD): $400–2500
Affordable digital setup (state fee ~€265 + e-Residency ~€150). The annual floor is a legal address/contact person for non-residents (~€200–400); serious bookkeeping quickly pushes toward €1–2.5k/year. No expensive free-zone licence—you pay in accounting discipline and substance if you want real tax residence.
