Build a structure the business can run.
The holding company decision
Compare local and international options against the investment plan, tax position, regulatory requirements and practical cost of operating them.
Operating entities
Form the entities the business needs in its markets, with registrations, records and responsibilities connected to the operating model.
Ownership and founder arrangements
Align shareholder agreements, statutory registers and the cap table, including the rights and commitments agreed between founders.
Agreements between companies
Document services, licensing and money flows across the group, coordinating transfer pricing and repatriation questions with tax advisers.
A structure ready for change
Plan and implement changes ahead of a raise, a new permission or a transaction, accounting for the agreements and approvals affected.
Records and continuing obligations
Put company secretarial work, registered office arrangements and annual compliance into a calendar with named owners.
When the structure needs to change.
Investors want a holding company
An investor’s proposed structure differs from the one you operate today. The change needs to account for existing ownership, agreements, tax and the companies doing the work.
A second country
The next market introduces a new entity, local obligations and different money flows. Those arrangements need to fit the group and the way the product will be delivered.
A structure that has outgrown itself
The business has changed since its first incorporation. Review whether the current entities, ownership and intercompany agreements still support investment and operations.
From the structure chart to everyday operations.
Compare the options
Set out workable structures and the investment, tax, regulatory and operating consequences of each. Agree a recommendation and the dependencies behind it.
Put the structure in place
Coordinate formations, agreements, ownership records and registrations in sequence, with banking, approvals and other dependencies tracked alongside them.
Make it operable
Hand over the structure chart, agreements and records, with continuing obligations assigned to owners and a calendar the team can maintain.
