Jurisdiction
Jersey entities
Companies, foundations, trusts and cell companies in a self-governing British Crown Dependency with a long-established trust and fund administration industry.
In shortCCYFX onboards Jersey companies, foundations, trusts and protected and incorporated cell companies, often administered by licensed Jersey trust companies. Jersey is a British Crown Dependency outside the UK and EU. Typical documents include the certificate of incorporation, a certificate of good standing and the trust deed or foundation charter.
Overview
A Crown Dependency for trusts and funds
Jersey is a British Crown Dependency that is part of neither the United Kingdom nor the European Union. It has its own parliament, courts and financial regulator, and uses sterling alongside the Jersey pound.
Trust companies and corporate service providers in Jersey are licensed by the Jersey Financial Services Commission, which also runs the Companies Registry. Many Jersey structures are administered by these licensed firms, and we work with them directly.
