Country overview

About Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British overseas territory at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, at the entrance to the Mediterranean. It shares a land border with Spain. English is the official language. About 34,000 people live here. The currency is the pound sterling.

Gibraltar is not a member of the European Union. It left with the United Kingdom. A United Kingdom–EU agreement concluded in 2026 governs the land frontier with Spain; it does not place a Gibraltar company inside the EU single market. The territory uses English common-law company legislation and sterling. It sits next to Spain and is used when that legal and geographic home is the right one — not as a low-cost substitute for a standard EU company.

Brikseka forms Gibraltar companies. The usual vehicle is a limited company. Incorporation can be completed remotely. No local director is required.

We then advise on a business bank account and payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal. Gibraltar and United Kingdom electronic money institutions are often the practical first accounts. Approvals are decided by the providers. If your aim is to live in Gibraltar, company formation is not a residence permit — that is a separate immigration file, which we also advise on.

  • Company formation

    We form a Gibraltar limited company remotely, then stay with the file through banking and payments.

  • Sterling, not EU

    A British overseas territory using the pound sterling. Not an EU member. The 2026 UK–EU frontier agreement does not make a Gibraltar company an EU company.

  • Iberian frontier

    English-language company law on a territory adjacent to Spain, at the entrance to the Mediterranean.

  • Tax setting

    Corporation tax is published at 15 percent on profits accrued in or derived from Gibraltar. We confirm the live position before you proceed.

How we work

From briefing to a registered company

  1. Briefing

    We review your business, the right entity for this country, costs, and whether a visit is likely.

  2. Company formation

    Local counsel, notary where required, and the commercial register. We coordinate the documents through to a registered company.

  3. Banking and payments

    After the company exists, we prepare applications for a business account and payment gateways.

  4. After incorporation

    Statutory records, a named contact, and introductions to accounting so the company can operate.
