Real audience data, intent signals, and partner opportunity summary from the 28–29 October virtual summit.
Built for immigration firms, licensed agents, tax and corporate advisers, and property partners. Every data point reflects real engagement from people actively planning their move towards Caribbean and European programmes.
One governing finding: the money and the interest are both there; the decision isn't. The opportunity is turning exploration into a specific jurisdiction, a budget, a timeline and an advisory conversation.
Europe is the volume and the upside; the Caribbean is the smaller, faster book. Lead the majority with a Malta–Cyprus–Italy comparison, and run a dedicated CBI track built on due diligence and speed to passport. And don't pitch "Europe" as one product — residence and incorporation are bought in different places.
Nothing here is a survey panel. Every figure is a by-product of people applying to attend, answering the same qualification questions before the doors opened.
From "I'm curious about a second residency" to "my budget is ready" — here's how the room narrows, step by step.
Affluent, internationally active and mostly in the planning phase — principals and end clients, not industry intermediaries.
Share of those who answered the household question. Family mobility is a meaningful segment, but not the majority use case.
Free-text industry and job titles, coded into mutually exclusive clusters — directional, since many respondents span more than one.
Two in three are U.S. citizens and most of them still live in the U.S. — the non-U.S. third already lives across borders.
84% of respondents were recorded in the U.S. at submission — including non-U.S. citizens living there.
Share of U.S. citizens. The move is still ahead of them — which is exactly why comparison and cost content lands.
Share of non-U.S. respondents. Half are already travelling or living as expats — mobile by default.
Nationality was asked of non-U.S. respondents only, so this is not a full-room distribution.
Where demand actually sits across Europe and the Caribbean — and what each group is really asking a partner for.
Single-select question — everyone picked one direction.
Multiple answers allowed, so the shares add up to more than 100%.
Ask what they want help with and the answer is clear: get me a second residency or passport — then help me run a business across borders.
Multiple answers were allowed, so the shares add up to more than 100%.
Banking, company and residence across more than one jurisdiction.
61% want relocation and residency advice and 31% want help structuring a borderless business — yet only 10% name tax structuring as a need.
Translation: the structuring demand is real, people just don't frame it as "tax" yet. Whoever explains residence and company setup as one plan — in plain language, with numbers — gets the mandate.
Everyone in this room selected an income above $150,000 a year. The question was never can they afford it — it's when does the money move.
| Direction↓ / Readiness → | Ready or allocated | Planning budget | Not ready yet |

| 🏝️ Caribbean CBI | 9% | 20% | 5% |
Share of all respondents in each cell. The left column — ready to invest or already funded — is the list to work first. The biggest single cell is "Europe, still budgeting": a nurture job, not a sales job.
The rest are exploring — long enough a window to lose them with silence, short enough to win them with a decent follow-up sequence.
Six segments, defined by direction, readiness, household and business need. They overlap, so they don't add up to 100%.
Partner slots for the next Freedom Business Summit edition cover speaking, lead delivery and co-branded playbooks — built around exactly the demand you've just read.
Everything above comes from the summit's own application form. Here is what that does and doesn't let us claim.
