Guide to companies in the Isle of Man

The Isle of Man has two separate company law regimes: one establishing companies governed by the Companies Acts 1931-2004 (1931 Act) and the other the Companies Act 2006 (2006 Act) (together, Manx Companies). The 1931 Act is based on a traditional company law regime familiar to English company lawyers. The 2006 Act follows the international business company model which is available in a number of offshore jurisdictions which is less formal and devolves a number of administrative matters to a registered agent rather than a public registrar.
