Corporate services provider

Also writtencspprovider

A licensed firm that forms and runs companies for other people.

What it is

It can apply to the Registry for you, act as resident agent, and provide a registered office — for a fee it sets. In Guernsey a company is formed through one unless a director lives on the island; in Alderney only one can apply.

What it is not

Not needed in Jersey if you live there: you can form the company yourself, online, on myRegistry.
