Appleby Guernsey March 2019 applebyglobal.com 1 1. INTRODUCTION Guernsey is well renowned for its insurance industry, which has origins dating back to the 18th century and has an excellent reputation for innovation and professionalism in international insurance. Guernsey’s insurance sector includes commercial insurers and captive insurance companies which have been incorporated in the Island since 1922. Guernsey has grown to become the leading captive insurance domicile in Europe. Guernsey offers a range of structuring options for insurance companies, depending on their requirements, which include limited companies, protected cell companies (known as PCCs) and incorporated cell companies (known as ICCs). Guernsey was the first jurisdiction to introduce a PCC in 1997 and has been regularly using cell companies and refining the concept since then.
