About Business Relocation to Jersey

Inward investment into Jersey is a vital contributor to a diverse, innovative and competitive economy. Jersey welcomes applications from high-value, low footprint businesses and successful entrepreneurs wishing to move to or expand into Jersey.

Under Jersey law, you must have a business licence to run a business and employ staff in the Island. Normally you need to have lived in the Island for more than 5 years and have Entitled for Work status in order to start a business. However, there may be an exception to this if you can show that your business has significant economic or social value to Jersey (or if the business is specialised and meets a market need). Local legislation or regulatory requirements, business activities, jurisdictions and any other relevant factors will also be taken into account as part of the consideration.

Business tax in Jersey is 0% (except for certain regulated businesses) you can find out more information on business and personal taxes on our page Tax and Contributions in Jersey.

"We were thrilled with how quickly our licence was granted…Our submission to the authorities was given the green light very quickly and we were able to bring these exciting new operations to the Island within a matter of weeks."

Phil Shaw (Director, Think Gaming)
