Offshore intelligence
Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man and the British Virgin Islands publish papers and, in places, company records. Institrace is the index that holds them in the same graph as UK officers and English land.
We only index public bodies. A supplier, developer, or care-home Ltd appears when a public file or a published identifier attaches it. We do not run a private-company directory.

How it works
The British islands and territories keep their own legislatures, regulators and company registers. Their papers are public. Their search is not. A States Assembly report, a Guernsey debate, an Isle of Man filing and a BVI notice live on four different stacks, often behind different defences, and none of them will tell you whether the same name is an officer of a UK public body or the proprietor of an English title.
Institrace indexes those public papers as sources in the same corpus as UK councils and NHS trusts. Where an island register can be read, company identities are stored and officers attached. Overseas companies already appear in the Land Registry OCOD file. The offshore layer is the point at which island papers, island companies and English titles stop being separate worlds. Names resolve across the water the same way they resolve across a borough boundary.
What it does
It is the only public-records index that treats Crown Dependency and BVI material as a first-class layer beside UK governance documents, not as a footnote or a one-off investigation dump. Open registers exist. Specialist offshore databases exist. Neither sits on the same person, the same title and the same committee minute. That is the capability. Use it to see whether an island filing and an English public appointment are the same story, without building the join yourself.
