This legislation amended the Investment Business (Jersey) Law by extending Jersey’s financial regulations to Jersey’s approximately 300 trust and company services providers.

Secondly, in the course of providing such services, the person must provide any one of a number of services, such as being a company formation agent, a director, a secretary, the provider of registered office, the provider of accommodation address, or acting as trustee.

They include the requirement that the Island’s anti-money laundering defenses sh ... [Read More]
