Corporate Services

Every vehicle has a purpose. We administer SPVs, holding companies and other entities used in structured finance, securitisation, private debt, real estate, investments and acquisitions. Our teams maintain corporate records, coordinate compliance information, monitor obligations and support changes as transactions progress. Working with finance teams, in-house counsel and external advisers, we keep each vehicle's administration aligned with its wider business or transaction objectives, connecting local specialists across jurisdictions where needed.

Better information supports better decisions. We provide bookkeeping, management accounts, financial statements, reporting and audit liaison for corporate entities and cross-border structures. Our specialists work with relevant accounting standards, including IFRS and local GAAP where appropriate, and coordinate information for tax advisers and statutory filings. Combining accounting expertise with appropriate technology, we support accurate records, clear reporting and timely financial information for directors and other stakeholders.

Effective governance relies on clear responsibilities, properly documented decisions and reliable corporate records. We coordinate board and shareholder meetings, minutes, resolutions, statutory registers and recurring filings, helping directors keep decisions properly documented. Our services also include beneficial ownership records, share transfers, changes in share capital and the registration or discharge of charges where relevant. Working alongside in-house counsel and professional advisers, we support ongoing company secretarial responsibilities and the requirements arising from corporate transactions.

Give your entities a practical local base. Where available, we provide registered office and domiciliation services, handling correspondence, maintaining company records and coordinating statutory filings. Our teams also support meeting administration, statutory books and periodic reviews, helping businesses manage their local obligations. For structures spanning multiple jurisdictions, we coordinate relevant services across our offices while maintaining clear responsibility at the local entity level.

Where economic substance or local-presence requirements apply, we provide appropriate individual or corporate directors, board administration and governance support. Our specialists organise meetings, maintain statutory records and undertake relevant substance or corporate health checks. Working alongside legal and tax advisers, we help clients establish appropriate administrative arrangements and demonstrate how entities are managed and controlled, with responsibilities shaped by the applicable jurisdiction, structure and activities.

Keeping up with regulatory and statutory obligations is an important part of maintaining corporate structures. Across most of our jurisdictions, we coordinate recurring filings, annual returns, notifications and other submissions required by the relevant authorities. Our teams monitor deadlines, prepare supporting documentation and work with directors and professional advisers to keep obligations on track. In Jersey and Guernsey, we can also support selected ongoing compliance functions for corporate entities, with the scope of services determined by the structure, jurisdiction and agreed mandate.

When structures change, administration needs to keep pace. From acquisitions and disposals to reorganisations, entity migrations and solvent wind-downs, we coordinate corporate records, governance and statutory requirements alongside your transaction team. Our specialists support board and shareholder approvals, share capital changes, registers and filings, keeping essential steps organised and documented. We work closely with legal, financial and transaction advisers to support continuity through complex changes.

Executive and employee reward arrangements can involve complex structures and ongoing administrative responsibilities. We support the administration of compensation and incentive arrangements, including employee benefit trusts (EBTs) in Jersey. Working with employers, trustees and legal and tax advisers, our specialists coordinate documentation, maintain records and support the ongoing administration of relevant arrangements. Our approach helps businesses manage these structures in accordance with their terms and applicable requirements.

Keeping payroll and associated administration organised matters to employees and businesses alike. Through our global entity solutions, we provide payroll support and coordinate related banking, accounting and administrative processes where available. Working alongside your HR team and local employment or tax advisers, we help maintain the information and processes needed for payroll and reporting. The specific services available depend on the jurisdiction and agreed mandate.

Effective cash management requires reliable information, clear controls and timely administration. We support corporate entities with banking administration, payment coordination, cash monitoring and related reporting, subject to the agreed mandate. Working alongside finance teams, directors and banking providers, our specialists help maintain appropriate approval processes, reconcile transactions with accounting records and provide visibility over cash movements. For structures operating across jurisdictions, we coordinate relevant arrangements while maintaining clear accountability for each entity.
