Why Guernsey?
Situated in the Channel Islands and English speaking, the Island
of Guernsey shares the same time zone as London, conveniently
placed between The Americas and The Far East with good
communication links to London and other parts of the United Kingdom
and Continental Europe. Guernsey is independent in legislative and
fiscal matters and is not part of the European Union. As such, most
EU directives do not apply in Guernsey.
Guernsey has a history of political stability and good
governance and has legislation that is up-to-date, workable and in
compliance with international standards.
Guernsey company law broadly follows English law principles and
was updated in 2008 to simplify formation and improve corporate
flexibility.
Guernsey trust law was updated in 2007 and is now one of the
most modern trust laws available.
A well-established network of fiduciary, legal, accounting and
banking service providers is located in Guernsey, providing a
competitive and professional environment and ensuring high
standards are maintained.
Guernsey has much to offer international businesses and high net
worth individuals alike. Choosing a suitable partner within
Guernsey is important to establishing an efficient and beneficial
level of service.
