Relocating to Guernsey


Sovereign provides a range of products and services relevant to individuals and businesses relocating to Guernsey.

Sovereign has three main service areas – pensions, corporate services, and private client solutions.

Pensions


It is possible for individuals relocating to Guernsey to transfer their pension into a Guernsey approved pension.

Sovereign Pension Services (CI) Limited provides personal and employer sponsored pension solutions, including Qualifying Recongised Overseas Pension Schemes (QROPS) for individuals relocating to Guernsey who wish to transfer pension savings from United Kingdom registered pension schemes.

For further information, please read this blog or contact guernseypensions@sovereigngroup.com

Corporate Services


In Guernsey only licensed corporate service providers or those suitably licensed by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission may incorporate companies.

Sovereign Trust (Channel Islands) Limited as a fully licensed corporate services provider can incorporate a Guernsey Limited Company, or other corporate entity type as required, working alongside your tax advisers and accountants.

For individuals who are resident on the island, they may be able to provide the registered office address and if an individual is also the appointed director, no additional resident agent is required. There are ongoing record keeping, reporting and filing obligations. If required, Sovereign can provide additional services to ensure these obligations are met.

For further information, please contact ci@sovereigngroup.com

Private Client Solutions


For some individuals it might be appropriate to consider establishing a trust once you have moved to Guernsey.

A trust is a legal arrangement whereby assets are transferred by (ordinarily) an individual (“Settlor”) to a trustee who is responsible for looking after those assets for the benefit of “beneficiaries”. That is a very high-level explanation!

Trusts can be created for a number of reasons and to achieve different outcomes.

Sovereign can work together with your tax advisers, accountants and lawyers to create a suitable trust arrangement to suit your needs.
