The Lowtax Network of sites was
launched in 1999 by an established international business
publisher to fill a perceived need for an electronic source
of information on offshore and 'low-tax' regimes worldwide.
In spite of bad timing (1999
was no moment to start a dotcom!) the first site, www.lowtax.net,
was an immediate hit with visitors and advertisers alike.
Now, more than eight years later, there are six sites, attracting
more than 100,000 visitors monthly, who clock up more than
400,000 page views. Our editorial team of 20 newswriters and
journalists strives every day to maintain a complete, thorough
and accurate service.
Visitors are divided roughly
equally between end-clients (business-people, investors, expatriates)
and professional service providers (lawyers, accountants,
consultants). This geographically-diverse audience comes from
many walks of life, but as we know from their e-mails, one
thing they have in common is an appreciation of the quality
of our content.
Except for the Lowtax Library
(see opposite), our content is free to the user, with revenue
being derived from advertisers and 'syndication' clients -
other web-sites which buy our content.
Building the sites and developing
good visibility on search engines required substantial investment,
but the business turned the corner in 2002. Since then, we
have continued to add new sites and new features: most recently,
we opened a public and searchable archive of the more than
25,000 news stories we have published in the last eight years.
It's at http://www.tax-news.com/archive/
