Incorporation of an Alderney Company

An Alderney Company must be incorporated by a Corporate Service Provider who has a full fiduciary licence issued by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission. There are currently four  Corporate Service Providers in Alderney. [96kb]

Alternatively a Guernsey based Corporate Service Provider can also incorporate an Alderney Company.

An Alderney Company must have at least one Director, a Company Secretary, at least one Member and a Resident Agent.

The Company must have at least two officers, so a sole Company Director cannot also be the Company Secretary. Where there are two or more Directors, a Director may also be the Secretary. Corporate Directors and Secretaries are permissible.

The Company must have a Registered Office in Alderney and display a sign stating the Company name at the Registered Office.

An Alderney Company is required to have a Resident Agent. The Resident Agent has certain responsibilities relating to the Company and its beneficial ownership. A Resident Agent can be either a Corporate Services Provider or a Director of the Company who is resident in Alderney.
