About company registration in Jersey
The right path forward, regardless of project stage
Yes. Since 2018, all companies registered in Jersey have been required to have economic substance. This means they cannot be used as a tax planning vehicle only.
Yes, Jersey is on the IMF list of offshore financial centers (OFC). However, it is neither blacklisted nor greylisted, due to good compliance regulations.
Depending on your objective and your business model, one might fit better. The best way to determine if Guernsey is the best place for your business is to get in touch with our experts.
Depending on your business activity and the amount of economic substance happening in the territory of Jersey, it can be possible to open an account directly in Jersey. However, this applies mostly to retailing or financial services businesses having shops in Jersey.
