Non-Resident Company Formation

Since its inception, Gibraltar Corporate Partners (GCP) has developed into a specialist consultancy focused on promoting Gibraltar as a world-class business jurisdiction and supporting businesses and entrepreneurs with non-resident Gibraltar company formation and related administration. 

GCP operates as an intermediary, working alongside fully regulated and licensed service providers in Gibraltar.

We support entrepreneurs, SMEs, and internationally active clients by explaining Gibraltar’s business environment, introducing appropriate local providers, and coordinating the practical steps required to establish and maintain a non-resident Gibraltar company. 

Our role is deliberately clear and limited: we facilitate access, coordination, and administration, while responsibility for regulatory, legal, and tax advice remains entirely with the relevant licensed professionals.

At GCP, we operate exclusively with Gibraltar, a well-regulated and politically stable jurisdiction operating under English common law, with a long-established corporate, legal and administrative framework.

Gibraltar applies a 15% corporation tax rate to companies on profits arising from activities carried out in Gibraltar. Where a non-resident Gibraltar company’s income is generated entirely from sources outside Gibraltar, that income falls outside the scope of Gibraltar corporation tax at 0%.

This is the specific category of structure that GCP coordinates and administers through licensed and regulated service providers in Gibraltar.

Gibraltar is OECD-cooperative, CRS-compliant and fully transparent, offering certainty, stability and a credible environment for cross-border commercial activity.

The UK business environment has become increasingly challenging, with rising costs, expanding regulation and ongoing uncertainty placing sustained pressure on companies of all sizes.

For businesses with activities extending beyond the UK, this shift should be viewed as a clear signal that passive strategies are no longer sufficient. Forward planning and structural resilience are now essential to protect commercial position and support continued development.

Well-established cross-border structuring frameworks provide a legitimate and practical way for businesses to adapt, reorganise and operate with greater clarity and control. When implemented correctly and supported by regulated professionals, these arrangements can help businesses respond to change while remaining compliant and commercially focused.

Gibraltar Corporate Partners (GCP) operates as an introducer and coordinator, connecting clients with established, GFSC-regulated wealth management, fiduciary, and investment firms in Gibraltar. 

Gibraltar has a long-standing reputation as a well-regulated international finance centre, combining English common law, political stability, and proportionate regulation under the oversight of the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission. 

Through our network, clients may be introduced to regulated firms that provide discretionary investment management, advisory services, trust and fiduciary structures, pension arrangements, and broader wealth planning solutions.

Our value lies in understanding the Gibraltar ecosystem, identifying appropriate regulated providers, and managing the introduction and administrative coordination process so that clients can engage directly with licensed professionals operating under GFSC supervision.. 

GCP supports businesses and individuals by facilitating access to established banking and payment solutions through third-party financial institutions. Our role is limited to coordination and introduction, helping clients navigate available options in a structured and efficient manner.

These solutions may include access to multi-currency accounts, payment services and foreign exchange facilities offered directly by regulated financial institutions. 

All banking relationships are entered into independently between the client and the relevant provider, subject to their own due diligence, terms and regulatory requirements.

By assisting with the coordination of appropriate banking arrangements, GCP helps clients streamline financial administration and improve operational efficiency, while ensuring that control, responsibility and regulatory oversight remain with the appointed financial institutions.

Non-resident companies established in Gibraltar benefit from access to a broad range of professional services designed to support ongoing corporate operations.

These include specialist legal and accounting expertise, efficient company secretarial services, and experienced corporate service providers, all delivered by fully licensed professionals operating within Gibraltar’s established regulatory framework.

Supported by a mature and well-regulated professional ecosystem, Gibraltar offers efficient incorporation processes, clear regulatory standards, and reliable ongoing corporate administration. 

This creates a stable, transparent, and business-focused environment in which companies can operate with confidence and continuity. Professional support. Clear processes. Built for continuity.

We provide access to established and compliant contractual frameworks that support the organisation, ownership and licensing of intellectual property and management-related rights.

Through the use of clearly documented agreements, businesses can structure the holding and licensing of intellectual property in a controlled and transparent manner. This includes trademarks, patents, technology, brand rights and defined management services, each supported by arm’s-length documentation.

These arrangements are designed to formalise the commercial use of intellectual property and management activities, providing clarity of ownership, defined rights and consistent administration. 

Attributing value to proprietary assets and operational know-how, establish predictable commercial terms, and support ongoing revenue generation from their use, while maintaining a documented and orderly framework aligned with ordinary commercial practice.

By using Gibraltar as a base for international trade, businesses can contract and transact with overseas clients and partners through a jurisdiction built for cross-border activity.

Gibraltar’s established legal and corporate framework supports clear commercial arrangements, predictable administration and practical governance, allowing companies to operate internationally without unnecessary friction.

Importantly, the recent post-Brexit agreement framework between the UK, Gibraltar and the European Union has further strengthened Gibraltar’s position as a gateway for international business. 

This evolving arrangement is designed to improve mobility, connectivity and commercial access between Gibraltar and the EU, reinforcing confidence for businesses trading with European counterparties while remaining anchored within a familiar UK-aligned legal environment.

Much of what is written about “offshore” business is based on outdated assumptions. In reality, well-regulated jurisdictions with established legal systems exist to support legitimate cross-border trade, international contracting and asset structuring in a transparent and responsible way.

At Gibraltar Corporate Partners, we focus on clarity over misconception. We help clients understand how established corporate frameworks can be used effectively, without secrecy, artificial complexity or unnecessary risk.

The emphasis is on structure, security, efficiency and long-term sustainability, not short-term tactics. We deliberately avoid opaque or high-risk jurisdictions and do not promote novelty arrangements that rely on weak oversight. 

Gibraltar is a fully whitelisted jurisdiction, widely recognised for transparency, regulatory oversight and adherence to international standards. Its legal and corporate systems provide businesses with confidence, stability and a well-regulated platform for international operations.
