Gibraltar

Our head office is based in Gibraltar, a self-governing British overseas territory, located at the south-western tip of Europe overlooking the entrance to the Mediterranean.

Benefiting from a stable and growing economy and a favourable tax regime, Gibraltar has established itself as prosperous financial centre over the last 40 years. Its political stability, robust commercial and professional infrastructure contribute to its attractiveness as an offshore jurisdiction.

The legal system is based on British Common Law with some local statute law variations. As a member of the EU, Gibraltar provides easy access to the EU financial markets and as such is subject to its directives and regulations.
