Jersey Cell Companies

Jersey introduced Cell Companies into its law in 2006.

Jersey law recognises two cell company vehicles:

• the Protected Cell Company ("PCC") , being a "second generation" PCC that represents the first significant advance from the PCC model developed in other jurisdictions; and
• the Incorporated Cell Company ("ICC"), a truly innovative new corporate vehicle that offers an unmatched combination of flexibility and strength.

Prior to introducing cell companies into Jersey, exhaustive research was undertaken into the strengths and weaknesses of existing cell company regimes. Jersey is not the first jurisdiction to introduce cell companies, and so it was important to ensure that the product Jersey offered was a clear improvement upon that available elsewhere.
