Corporation Service Company (CSC)

Corporation Service Company traces its roots to 1899, when the attorneys Josiah P. Marvel and Christopher L. Ward each set up a business in Delaware to help companies incorporate. The two firms merged in 1920 to form CSC. The privately held company is based in Wilmington, Delaware, and provides corporate, legal and tax services, including business formation, registered agent work, entity and licence management and domain name management. It expanded to Canada and Europe in the early 2010s and to Singapore and Hong Kong from 2015, and later acquisitions included Intertrust Group, which brought fund and corporate administration into the business. Its Asia Pacific offices include one in India.

Finance hiring is concentrated in Mumbai and Bengaluru, with some roles in Gurugram.
