We have launched Rocquaine alongside business partners operating in the jurisdictions we believe are four of the best in the world for service capability, quality, jurisprudence and functioning of the judicial system, asset protection, succession planning, transparency and governance.
As a result, solutions for our clients are to be found in:
Guernsey & Jersey
Guernsey and Jersey have been international finance centres for over 50 years and are self-governed and self-funded, and as such pass their own laws and raise their own taxes.
Their reputation as leading financial centres is based on their breadth of experience and knowledge across the industry, coupled with adherence to the highest regulatory standards. With political and economic stability, Guernsey and Jersey offer clients secure and transparent jurisdictions in which to do business and as a result have attracted major businesses from around the world to establish a presence in the islands.
Rocquaine's business partners in Guernsey and Jersey provide trust and corporate secretarial services. In Guernsey, Rocquaine’s partner is able to offer fund and fiduciary services as well as compliance support to regulated fund vehicles. The team has extensive experience of providing services to high-net-worth individuals, families, private equity firms, listed companies, funds and sovereign wealth funds.
With a stable legal environment and one of the world’s prime financial markets, the United Kingdom provides an ideal location for new and existing businesses. Over the last few years, there has also been a significant reduction in corporation tax making the UK an attractive jurisdiction for tax planning. The World Bank ranks the UK as a location for running a business and the establishment of a UK company can be completed within 24 hours.
The key advantages of locating in the United Kingdom are well known: legal certainty, a solid regulatory regime and a large pool of professional talent. Perhaps less well known are the tax advantages that locating in the United Kingdom can offer to individuals or to international businesses and investors. Appropriate structuring will also result in significant tax savings for international companies and HNW individuals.

In addition to innovative and flexible trust laws, the State has a very low tax burden, is rated in the top tier of fiscally sound state governments, and has a pro-business legislature and very business-friendly regulations. Not least, Wyoming fits the US mould with regard to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), which can have significant benefits for the very proper motives of some of our complex clients. Studies have consistently ranked Wyoming among the most favorable trust jurisdictions and it is also one of the most business-friendly jurisdictions in the nation:
