Our offshore company formation service is available for most offshore jurisdictions. In addition to companies we are also familiar with the formation of offshore trusts as part of succession and inheritance planning. Over the years we have established a strong network of offshore agents, lawyers, trust managers, directors and other professionals who can assist with the management and administration of your offshore company or trust.

Each offshore jurisdiction has its own laws and requirements as regards company formation and administration. As part of our service we will discuss the possible jurisdictions and the benefits which they offer. Common offshore jurisdictions include:

• British Virgin Islands
• Jersey
• Isle of Man
• Belize
• Seychelles
• Delaware
• Cyprus
• Cayman Islands
• Malta
• Panama
• Luxembourg
• Liberia

Once a jurisdiction has been chosen, we will take your further insinuations as to the company’s structure, shareholding, directors and more. We will then oversee the formation of the company on your behalf. Many clients also appoint Queens House as the UK point of contact for the offshore agents and directors. This allows a transparent and professional channel of communication.

Formation costs vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Please call us for more information.

This service includes the provision of general and fundamental English company advice and structure before or after the formation of an English Limited Liability Company.
