Utilising Butterfield’s administration and corporate governance capabilities, a financial institution may establish an operation offshore without the initial start up costs or staffing requirements associated with establishing their own physical premises.

This enables the institution to take advantage of a number of potential business solutions, which provide benefits associated with entry into a premier offshore jurisdiction, combined with minimal depreciation costs.

With systems and procedures in place, Butterfield can help institutions establish an offshore presence quickly and effectively. Our professional and experienced team is fully conversant with the laws and practices of Guernsey and will guide you through local legislation, from obtaining the necessary licences (where applicable), through to initial Board Meetings and day to day operations of the entities.

Our administered services may include the provision of:

• Managed Trust Companies
• Managed Investment Companies
• Managed Finance Companies
• Private Trust Companies

Our dedicated relationship managers will spend time to understand your institution’s needs and craft custom tailored, flexible solutions to meet your professional administrative requirements in Guernsey.

In addition to the administrative services described above, our team can also assist you with the development and structuring of:

• Employee Benefit Trusts
• International Retirement Plans
