Guernsey
Guernsey is the largest captive domicile in Europe and a global pioneer that introduced the protected cell company (PCC) concept. Being outside the EU, it maintains a highly effective regulatory environment that is IAIS compliant but not subject to Solvency II. It recently introduced a pre-authorization pilot scheme for insurance cells, allowing creation within 48 hours for urgent business needs.
