How do we work
International corporate issues are no longer solved by simple incorporation of a foreign company. Banks, regulators and service providers expect clear ownership, proper records, real business purpose and legal source of funds.
Before suggesting or reviewing a solution, we always consider the main issue that you would like to resolve, all influencing factors and risks based on our extensive experience. This helps clients avoid structures that look simple at the beginning but become difficult to maintain later.
Our aim is to help clients build structures that can be properly administered and used in practice.
Our Policy
- We are most useful where there is a genuine business, real assets, or a practical cross-border matter behind the case.
- We do not believe in “one size fits it all” solutions. If the matter is straightforward, we will say so. If the case requires deeper legal, tax, banking or compliance review, we will explain what needs to be checked before moving forward.
- We are transparent about fees. If something is included in the standard scope, we clarify it. If additional work may be required, we tell the client before starting where possible.
- We are compliance focused. This means that we will ask questions about the business, ownership, source of funds, planned transactions and documents. Not because we want to make the process complicated, but because banks, regulators and local service providers will ask the same questions later.
- We are flexible where the situation allows it. If a document is difficult to obtain, if the structure is unusual, or if the case does not fit a standard checklist, we will try to find a practical way forward.
- We prefer long term cooperation to one-time quick deal. Our goal is not only to set up a company, but to help the client maintain it properly, keep records in order, deal with banks, meet deadlines and adjust the structure when circumstances change.
- We also understand that not every solution works for every client. If a jurisdiction, bank, structure or service is not suitable for the case, we will say so and try to suggest realistic alternatives.
