the business is owned by a limited liability company (corporation/N.V),
both the non-St. Maartener and the St. Maartener/Antilleans will
need a business license for their company, allowing the cooperation
to establish and maintain a business. A director’s license
is also required for each of the corporation’s non-St. Maartener/Antilleans
managing directors. Certain businesses may require additional requirements
such as operations license. To apply for business licenses contact:
