Honolulu Economic Development: Business Services

Honolulu's business services industry reflect the diversity of its economy.

Honolulu's marketplace includes typical services found in any major metropolitan area as well as unique niches. For example, experience in resort development led to exporting expertise to assist other destinations with their architectural, engineering, and construction needs. Honolulu's niche in Captive Insurance is supported by highly specialized insurance consulting, accounting, legal, and investment services. Hawaii is the 2nd largest captive domicile in US and 10th largest in the world.

Honolulu businesses are also in the forefront of services available to companies doing business throughout the Pacific region. Many Honolulu firms play an important facilitating role in reaching the cross-cultural markets. Our multi-cultural, multi-lingual work force is well suited to provide the links to Asian markets which characterize the region.
