Guernsey Financial Services Business License

Guernsey Non-Regulated Financial Services Business

A Guernsey Non-Regulated Financial Services Business (NRFSB) is a category of business that carries out certain financial activities in Guernsey that fall outside the scope of full regulatory licensing but are still subject to registration and AML compliance obligations overseen by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC). This framework ensures that even businesses operating outside the fully regulated sector maintain appropriate standards of financial integrity and consumer protection. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients understand whether their business falls under the NRFSB category and provides full support throughout the registration and compliance process.

Trust and Company Administration

Entities providing trust administration, company formation, or registered office services on a non-regulated basis, operating below the threshold requiring full fiduciary licensing but still required to meet GFSC registration standards.

Professional firms offering accountancy, bookkeeping, or tax advisory services that handle client funds or financial transactions are classified as NRFSBs and must register with the GFSC and maintain AML compliance procedures.
