The Gibro Group

What The Gibro Group does

The Gibro Group is a Gibraltar-headquartered, multi-jurisdictional professional services firm founded in 1975 that delivers trust, corporate, legal, private client, and family office services to high-net-worth individuals, international businesses, expats, and asset owners (yachts, aircraft, property). The group operates through 14 independent but affiliated entities — including PRT Lawyers (commercial law), Gibraltar Trustees (licensed trust administration established 1988), Prime Management (offshore company formation), Numerica (tax and accounting), Portutax (Portugal fiscal representation), and Gibro Abogados (Spain legal services) — coordinated across five wholly-owned offices in Gibraltar, Spain (Malaga), Portugal (Algarve), and Malta. The business is anchored by Gibraltar Financial Services Commission licenses for Company Managers (FSC 00234B) and Professional Trustees (FSC 00232B), enabling regulated fiduciary services under English common law.

The commercial offering spans company incorporation and management, residency applications (Category 2 and HEPSS), tax planning against Gibraltar's 15% corporate rate, QROPS pension transfers, inheritance and succession planning, fintech/DLT advisory, marine and aviation registration, international property acquisition, fiscal representation in Portugal, and secure deposit-box custody. The firm reports managing £5 billion in client assets, holds ISO 9001 quality certification, and is an independent member of HLB International, a network spanning 157 countries and 38,732 professionals. There is no proprietary technology platform; the value proposition is built on senior professional expertise (barristers, chartered accountants, chartered legal executives with multi-decade tenures), regulatory licensing, cross-jurisdictional reach, and bespoke, quote-based engagement models rather than scalable productized software.
