The new Companies Registry
Until recently, St Helena and Ascension Island have been amongst the very few places on earth where it has not been possible to incorporate a company. This has just changed.
In order to help develop private sector business in these countries, the Legislative Council has passed a Companies Ordinance and a Companies Registry has been established in Jamestown, St Helena.
The Registry is now open for business.
