    Simple

    Can't answer yes or no.:

    It depends on the structure of your company.
    If you have a private limited company then the answer is yes.
    If you are operating as a sole trader then no.

    Yes - a private limited company must have a secretary appointed. If the company has only one director, that director cannot also be the secretary. See 2.12 here - https://www.jerseyfsc.org/media/3827/gn-incorporating-jersey-company-local-residents.pdf
