Why does a Gibraltar company have to be set up through a licensed provider?

Gibraltar law allows only licensed persons to provide company registration and company management services as a business, so the filing is made by a licensed Gibraltar provider. The name is cleared with the Registrar first, then the application, memorandum and articles are filed.
