Professional Services
262 organisations are counted with Professional Services as their primary sector — 7% of everything with a sector on record, and the 6th largest of 16. A further 43 organisations work in it alongside another sector.
The count
organisations counted with Professional Services as their primary sector, across the Bailiwick’s four inhabited islands.
Coverage
#coverage ⧉How complete is this sector’s count?
An estimated 80% of this sector’s organisations are counted — mid-table on measured coverage: 8th of the 16 sectors.
Every count in this chapter is a floor, never a total.
Headline figures
#headlines ⧉The figures you can quote
The figures in this chapter that clear the citable bar — coverage high enough, count large enough, denominator named. A figure that does not clear it appears further down as a chart, badged, or not at all.
What stands out
#signature ⧉What this sector actually does
A sector is a label; a capability is a service someone published and we resolved to the graph. 77% of the sector carry at least one, and the typical one among them carries 6 capabilities.

137 of the 203 with a capability on record span two or more of these groups (67%). Two capabilities inside one group are one trade, not two, which is why this counts groups rather than nodes.

3 organisations are classified straight at sector level with no sub-sector — a real cohort, kept visible rather than folded into the largest bar. 43 further organisations work in Professional Services alongside another sector and are not in these bars: each is counted in the sub-sector of the sector it calls its main line. "Works in", never "is in".

The same island, drawn on a location quotient: this sector's share of a parish against its share of the island. Hatched parishes hold too few of this sector to compare at all. Parishes holding fewer than 30 of this sector are drawn and tabled but never named in a sentence: a quotient over a handful of organisations moves on one new record, and a superlative that flips that easily is not one.
Founding years

77% of the sector have at least one service resolved to the graph, across 11 domains, against 71% island-wide, the 4th-highest capability coverage of the 13 sectors where it can be counted.

Online presence
#digital ⧉86% of Professional Services organisations have a website of their own
Against 67% island-wide — 19 points above the island rate, the 2nd-highest own-site rate of the 15 sectors where it can be counted. The gap is the robust part: the sector’s own rate is measured over the organisations we have found, and the ones still missing are disproportionately the web-invisible.
Digital presence, this sector and the island
Counted over all 262 active Professional Services organisations
The right-hand column is the gap between professional services and the island; both values are in the table view. Measured in share of organisations.
Each track carries both values at its ends; the gap between professional services and the island is in the table view. Measured in share of organisations.

Verified from published evidence; businesses without a web presence are under-represented.
Each row is a share of all organisations counted, in the sector and island-wide — not a share of those with a website, so the rows are comparable with one another.
Legal form and ownership
#form ⧉Legal form, ownership and size — as far as they are published
These are published far less often than a phone number. Each module below states its own coverage, and renders the gap rather than a confident number over a silent base.
Professional Services organisations by legal form
A legal form on record for 175 of 262 Professional Services organisations (67%)
| Legal form | Organisations | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Limited company | 142 | 81% |
Sole traders are the systematic undercount here: a limited company publishes its form, a sole trader rarely does.
A further 10 organisations hold something in the legal-form slot that is not a legal form — filing notes, a bare year. Those leave the denominator rather than inflating “other”. Forms held by fewer than 15 organisations are not drawn: below that the bars are a tail of ones and twos, and each one names a handful of identifiable firms.
Professional Services organisations by ownership

As each organisation describes itself. Where a parent is off-island, that is recorded only when it was found — there is no “no parent” record, so this is not a count of independence.
Memberships and regulators
#trust ⧉What this sector says it belongs to
Memberships, regulatory statuses and certifications as each organisation publishes them, folded to the name they share. This is a text-match floor, not a licensee count — the register itself is the authority on who is licensed.

4% of those publishing a weekly grid open on a Sunday, and 9% on a Saturday. The median week runs 41.3 hours. Published opening hours only; a business that does not publish hours is not counted as closed. 145 hold hours of some shape, of which 137 resolve to a weekly grid and 8 are seasonal or per-site prose that must not be half-parsed.

How this chapter counts
#method ⧉The bases every figure here divides by
This chapter counts over the 262 active organisations whose primary sector is Professional Services — 7% of the 3,582 with a primary sector on record; the wider 305 who work in Professional Services at all are counted in every sector they work in, and are used only where a sentence says “works in”. Each module then divides by what is actually on record for it — a parish for 240, a founding year for 171, a capability resolved to the graph for 203, opening hours that resolve to a weekly grid for 137 — and those bases are printed under every chart, because the denominator is part of the datum.
This sector’s own coverage was measured at 80% on 30 September 2026, by capture–recapture against Google's business listings for the Bailiwick, with every organisation that was itself added from those listings left out of the comparison so the two counts stay independent. Every count above is a floor.
