How to register company in Jersey

dzhersi.jpgJersey (officially called the Bailiwick of Jersey) is the largest of the Channel Islands which is located not far from the north-west coast of France (the Cherbourg Peninsula). The distance between the island and England is 160 km. The island with the area of 117 km2 is famous for its picturesque coast. The center of commerce of Jersey is Saint Helier.

The population of the island is inconsiderable in number and is approximately 82 thousand people. In order to curb the growth in the number of residents and avoid overpopulation of Jersey, the authorities introduced strict control over the immigration processes.

While French is the official language in the Royal Household of Jersey, English is the language of the Bailiwick’s business documentation. French is also used in making deals with real estate, which is located in the territory of the island.

The Jersey pound is the official currency of the island. It is possible to freely convert banknotes and coins of Jersey into the British pounds sterling.

Tourism brings great income to Jersey, and water sports are particularly developed and popular. Beautiful views, developed infrastructure, and slightly old-fashioned charm of Jersey make the island even more interesting in terms of tourism.

But at the same time, there is growing interest in the island among businessmen who tend to register company (offshore company) in Jersey.

The apparent reason in favour of this trend is evident national consent, the result of which is the success and prosperity of the island's economy. Therefore, small Bailiwick of Jersey is nowadays characterized by the growth of the economy and is considered as extremely prosperous.
