We tailor to the needs of our customer with regards to the various entities required to not only protect his/her assets but also to give him/her the best tax benefits available.
We begin with the end in mind. The best way to explain this is to use an example.
You plan to start a manufacturing company which produces concrete products and you have substantial startup capital. Your first priority is to register holding companies for the various asset classes such as property, vehicles, machinery and equipment. The actual factory or known as the income generating company does not own any of these assets but rather rent it from the holding companies. This ensures the first layer of protection of your assets.
To take it to the next layer of protection is to have a Trust that holds the majority shares in those holding companies.
Should your enterprises reach a level where it is viable to go offshore you can consider operating your business from a tax friendly, yet ethical compliant destination which not only have tax benefits, but also give you access to new markets.
Each client's requirements are unique and we will advise you on your specific needs.
It is imperative to implement the right financial and legal structures from the get go in order to avoid any issues down the road.
It starts with the Memorandum of Incorporation of your company, its shareholding, the board, the appointment of directors and management teams, responsibilities and sound corporate governance.
We assist you from the the registration of your company and all the documentation which you will need to adhere too up to the very last aspect of running your business.
