About Us

The first Sovereign office opened in Gibraltar in 1987 but we now have offices or agents in all the major offshore & onshore jurisdictions.

Traditionally, our main business has been the setting up and management of offshore and onshore companies and trusts to assist with tax planning and asset protection. Now our range of services has expanded so we now offer a wide range of services such as asset management, capital raising, specialised tax advice, credit cards and others which are natural additions to our main activity.

We currently manage over 7,000 structures for a wide variety of clients including governments, publicly quoted companies and professional law and accountancy firms. But our more typical client is the individual investor or business person who requires some technical but practical advice, a relatively simple structure and a comprehensive but competitively priced ongoing administration service.

We have been granted licenses in Bahamas, Curaçao, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Malta, Mauritius, The Netherlands, Turks & Caicos Islands and the UK. To obtain these licenses we have had to demonstrate financial stability, professional competence and expertise. This is testament to the skill and integrity of our staff and ensures that our clients receive the quality of advice and service which has allowed us to become one of the most respected and recognisable names in our industry.

About the BVI

The British Virgin Islands are a British dependency located in the Eastern Caribbean, about 80 kilometres East of Puerto Rico. English is the official language and the official currency is the United States Dollar. The Government is stable and promises to remain that way. There is good commercial and professional infrastructure and the Government is actively encouraging the development of the offshore finance business and has now upgraded the Companies Registry by installing state of the art technology.

The International Business Companies Act was passed in 1984 and created the International Business Company (IBC) which became the preferred offshore company vehicle. In recent years the BVI has become extremely popular, particularly in the Far East region, due to the extensive marketing of the jurisdiction particularly by lawyers who moved from Panama during the Noriega regime and set up offices in the BVI. The BVI Business Companies Act 2004 has now superceded and updated the IBC Act.
