Guernsey’s status as a British Crown Dependency provides significant autonomy over its internal affairs, separate from the United Kingdom or the European Union; this brings a wealth of unique opportunities but also a necessity for local knowledge and understanding.  

Guernsey is an ideal location for financial services.  It has a stable and well-regulated business environment that has been refined over several decades. The island’s financial services industry is overseen by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC), which ensures that businesses operating in Guernsey comply with all relevant regulations and standards. 

With a long-standing history in financial services, Guernsey is among one of the key offshore fiduciary jurisdictions, renowned for its expertise, unique taxation and scrupulous regulation. Guernsey’s economy centres on financial services including banking, fund management, trust administration and insurance and therefore the island has a highly skilled workforce within a range of financial services areas. 

Guernsey offers various strategic advantages, including a high level of confidentiality, asset protection and with a beneficial tax regime. Guernsey’s well-established judicial infrastructure and political stability also prove favourable.
