Cook Islands Company – Cook Island Trust
THE COOK Islands was one of the very first offshore jurisdictions, embarking in 1981 on a legislative and infrastructure program to create an world class offshore centre. The offshore industry is a major contributor to the Cook Islands’ economy. Over the past 15 years the Cook Islands has become the foremost jurisdiction for establishing offshore trusts. The Cook Islands is recognised as the world leader in formation of asset protection trusts, safeguarding the assets of high net worth clients. The Cook Islands also offers Cook Islands Company Formation services limited liability companies (since 2008), international partnerships and offshore insurers in its offshore sector.
A well-educated, English-speaking workforce and a financial system regulated in accordance with widely accepted global standards are hallmarks of the Cook Islands offshore sector. There is an efficient Registrar’s Office which can provide trust and Cook Islands company formation within one working day. In addition there is a well-developed financial infrastructure to service the offshore industry.
As a demonstration of the Government’s commitment to the offshore industry, in June 2009 it established a statutory authority, the Financial Sector Development Authority to assist in further development of the industry. The Authority will perform the functions of strategic planning, liaison, advisory and promotional functions. It will enable the Cook Islands Company to have generic marketing of the jurisdiction which will assist with international recognition of the Cook Islands as an offshore centre.
