Opportunities for ACORN Being relatively new to the industry, we are able to learn from the mistakes of other jurisdictions and improve on their performances. ACORN uniqueness and sophistication allows us to provide efficiency in corporate registrations which is second to none. We will need to maintain this advantage. The government’s realization that the provision of financial services is a viable solution to the government’s wish to diversify the economy with little or no cost to the Islands infrastructure and natural resources. Our willingness to be flexible in responding to industry needs as opposed to the entrenched practices of other established jurisdictions. The global acceptance of e-commerce as a viable means of doing business. Our relationship with some of the world’s largest and most respected financial centers as a BOT.
