Our History

About Sovereign


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. These are more fully described in Our Services.

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 licences in the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Malta, Mauritius, Seychelles, the Netherlands and the Turks and Caicos Islands. 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.

The pages which follow are intended as a general guide. We always encourage prospective clients to call their most convenient Sovereign office for an initial consultation which can be given without fee or commitment.
