The work behind the move
A relocation is only half the job. The other half is the corporate, banking and compliance machinery that has to work the day after you land. Companies formed, accounts opened, books kept, documents that survive a regulator. We arrange it, and we tell you plainly what each thing actually requires.
Corporate structures
Corporate
Company formation & financial licensing
Incorporating the right vehicle in the right jurisdiction. And, where the business is regulated, obtaining the licence to run it.
Licensing
Financial & crypto licences
We arrange regulated financial and crypto licences, including EMI/PI, investment and securities, forex, MiCA crypto-asset (CASP) and gaming, across their realistic home jurisdictions. We coordinate capital, substance and fit-and-proper directors through a vetted professional network.
Substance
Substance & registered office
We arrange genuine economic substance for companies that must show real presence. That means a registered office, resident directors, a compliance officer, staff and premises, all put in place to satisfy home-country residence tests, offshore substance regimes and the banks.
Lifecycle
Redomiciliation, liquidation & restoration
The corporate lifecycle beyond formation: moving a company between jurisdictions without dissolving it, winding it up cleanly, reviving a struck-off entity, and, with honest caveats, ready-made companies.
iGaming
Gambling & gaming licences
Advisory for internationally mobile founders on obtaining an online gambling licence for a lawful, regulated operator. This means matching the right regime, whether Malta, Curaçao, Isle of Man, Gibraltar or a lower-cost flag, to your markets, budget and banking, and coordinating the application through vetted local gaming counsel.
Presence
Branch & representative office
We help internationally mobile families and their operating companies weigh the choice between a foreign branch or a representative office abroad, and, through vetted local counsel, register whichever fits. We keep the decisive distinction clear throughout. A branch is the parent itself, able to trade and taxed locally. A representative office may only liaise and market. It can never sell.
Wealth & structuring
Property
Investment real estate
Sourcing and acquiring investment real estate for international buyers, with an honest view of yield, ownership and the golden-visa premium.
Structuring
Trusts & foundations
We arrange the establishment of common-law trusts and civil-law private foundations for succession, asset protection and holding. We coordinate vetted fiduciaries and independent legal and tax opinions across the relevant jurisdictions.
Funds
Investment funds
Fund formation and administration for managers and family offices across the workhorse regimes: BVI, Cayman, Cyprus, Luxembourg, ADGM and the QFC. We give an honest reckoning of the ongoing cost and substance a regulated fund actually demands.
Succession
Estate planning & inheritance
Cross-border succession and inheritance-tax planning for internationally mobile UHNW families. The goal is to align wills, forced-heirship exposure and estate-tax footprints across every jurisdiction that can claim a say.
Banking & compliance
Banking
Bank & payment account opening
Opening corporate and personal accounts that survive compliance. That means matching the profile to the institution, not spraying applications.
Assurance
International audit
Statutory and voluntary audits for foreign companies under IFRS or local GAAP, including the audits a licence, bank or investor demands.
Compliance
Accounting & bookkeeping
Ongoing bookkeeping, financial statements and compliance filing for foreign companies. This is the unglamorous work that keeps a structure alive.
Compliance
Compliance, AML/KYC & due diligence
We scope and arrange AML/KYC compliance and pre-transaction due diligence for internationally mobile families and their regulated entities. We build the procedures, arrange the officers and coordinate the reporting through vetted local professionals, in a regime where substance is now verified and compliance audited, not assumed.
Assets & documents
Translation
Legal & financial translation
Certified translation and interpreting for cross-border legal, financial and corporate work, including notarised and apostilled documents.
IP
Trademark & IP registration
We arrange international protection and tax-efficient holding of trademarks, patents, copyright and software for globally mobile families. We coordinate national filings, the Madrid Protocol and PCT through vetted local counsel, and we model IP-box regimes honestly against the OECD nexus rules.
Assets
Yacht & aircraft registration
We help internationally mobile families flag and structure yachts and aircraft. That means choosing the register, setting up the owning company and working out the VAT position on entering the EU. We are candid that the tax and substance questions, not the flag itself, are where owners tend to come unstuck.
Identifiers
LEI, ISIN & CFI codes
A legal entity that trades in regulated financial instruments needs a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). A company or fund that issues shares, bonds or units also needs an ISIN and its companion CFI. We arrange all three through accredited issuers.
