Guernsey – Leader Of The Cell Company Pack

Originally published in Pageant Media's Cell Company Handbook 09, distributed June 2009

Since writing in the inaugural cell company handbook this time last year a lot of water has passed under our bridge. Out of the global economic crisis has come an increased focus on so-called 'tax havens' or 'offshore' financial centres.

We are proud that Guernsey has been positioned alongside the likes of the UK and US on the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) 'white list' that was published at the conclusion of the G20 summit in London this April.

This has reinforced our position that Guernsey is in the very top tier of international finance centres. Clients come here to do business because we are well regulated and have high standards of corporate governance but they also appreciate that we have a reputation for meeting their needs through creativity and innovation – the development of the cell company is one such example.
