Since 1998, ACORN (Anguilla Company Online Registration Network) has been a true demonstration of technology at its best. ACORN has effectively done away with paper, in that it allows authorised users to file company documents electronically from anywhere in the world, 365 days a year, 24/7. The time it takes to complete these filings through ACORN is absolutely phenomenal. An incorporation will take all of three minutes to complete, with the agent receiving instantly an emailed copy of the certificate and articles of incorporation (original documents are collected and forwarded by the onshore agent).
Constantly upgrading and enhancing to meet the needs of the offshore industry, ACORN has recently acquired the ability to incorporate companies with Chinese names. Anguilla now boasts the ability to register companies in six languages, namely, English, French, Spanish, Russian, German and Chinese.
