Occupier

Whoever occupies the premises used as the registered office — you, a landlord’s tenant, your family.

What it is

In Jersey the occupier must authorise the premises’ use as a registered office. Where that is not the company’s own people, the occupier signs form C14b.

What it is not

Not necessarily the owner of the building: whoever occupies the premises — a landlord’s tenant counts.
