Establish your Jersey company with coordinated support for structure selection, incorporation documents, registered-office arrangements and ongoing corporate administration.
Jersey is a Crown Dependency with its own company law and tax system. A private company limited by shares can support a range of commercial and holding purposes, subject to appropriate management, regulatory and substance arrangements.
A Jersey private company may have a single shareholder and must have at least one director. Ownership, company type and proposed activities determine the relevant requirements. Regulated activities and eligibility need separate review.
Choose the share structure and contribution arrangements for the proposed business. A company secretary is required; a sole director cannot also act as secretary. Regulated activities may carry additional capital and governance requirements.
The company must maintain a registered office in Jersey and appoint an eligible Jersey-resident nominated person for Registry communications. Confirm local professional involvement, management and the required ownership and controller information before incorporation.
Jersey’s standard company income-tax rate is 0%, but sector-specific rates and other exceptions apply. This does not make every company or shareholder tax-free. Annual tax returns remain required. Relevant activities may trigger economic-substance obligations, and large multinational groups may fall within separate minimum-tax rules. Tax residence, management and obligations outside Jersey need individual assessment.
We confirm the checklist for shareholders, beneficial owners, controllers and officers, together with the registered office, nominated person, activities and share structure.

Explore the main considerations for forming and maintaining your Jersey limited liability company:
Yes. A private company may have a single member. The company must also meet director, secretary, registered-office, nominated-person and ownership-disclosure requirements.
A private company must have at least one director. A secretary is also required, and a sole director cannot be the secretary. Appropriate management arrangements should reflect the company’s activities, tax residence and any economic-substance requirements.
Yes. A Jersey registered office must be maintained at all times, with authorised use of the premises and the required records. The company must also appoint an eligible Jersey-resident nominated person for Registry communications.
No. The standard rate has sector-specific exceptions, and other taxes or minimum-tax rules may apply. Every Jersey-incorporated company must submit an annual company tax return. Shareholders and companies can also have tax obligations in other jurisdictions.
A Jersey tax-resident company carrying on a relevant activity may need to meet the applicable substance test. Depending on the activity, this can require direction and management in Jersey, suitable local resources and local core income-generating activities. The actual business must be reviewed.
Maintain corporate and accounting records, file the annual confirmation statement and company tax return, and keep Registry ownership, controller and officer details current. Financial statements, audit, regulatory and substance requirements depend on the company. Bank-account opening is subject to independent bank checks.
