OFFSHORE JURISDICTIONS
Access respected global financial centres
Whether you’re looking to establish an offshore company or trust, we provide you with access to top-rated jurisdictions:
Isle of Man
The Isle of Man, a self-governing British Crown dependency, is a globally recognised financial centre renowned for its robust regulatory framework and stable governance.
The island is home to the world’s oldest continuous parliament, which dates back more than 1,000 years. The nation has cultivated a world-class regulatory environment, earning the trust of the international community.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recognises the Isle of Man as a ‘finance centre of excellence’. Its prosperous economy, low debt, and substantial reserves underscore its financial strength, which is further substantiated by Moody's Aa3 sovereign credit rating with a Stable Outlook.
Jersey
The largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey is also a self-governing British Crown dependency and is regarded as a leading global financial centre distinguished by its world-class regulatory and legal frameworks.
With a skilled workforce and a history of political and economic stability, the island provides a secure and prosperous environment for businesses and investors.
Jersey offers high confidence, as it is independently recognised by the World Bank, the IMF, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for its tax transparency. Its robust financial standing is further solidified by its AA-/A-1+ sovereign credit rating from Standard & Poor’s.
Mauritius
Situated in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is a premier African investment destination renowned for its political stability, robust economy, and business-friendly environment.
With a decades-long track record of sustained growth, this island nation offers a secure and attractive climate for investors.
Mauritius boasts a diversified economy underpinned by a strong legal framework and progressive policies that encourage foreign investment. Its commitment to open markets, including unrestricted currency exchange, further enhances its appeal as a global financial centre. The country's BBB-/A-3 sovereign credit rating from Moody’s is a testament to its financial soundness.
