Corporate formation
Build the right company before you build the business.
A company can be registered in days. A structure that supports your licence, your bank accounts, your investors and your expansion takes more thought. We set it up correctly the first time.
01 — What we do
Formation support from first decision to operational readiness.
01
Company incorporation
Registration of the right entity for your activities and jurisdiction.
02
Corporate structure planning
Holding companies, subsidiaries and operating entities arranged for operations and growth.

Founder, investor and beneficial-ownership structures that meet the applicable rules.
04
Business activity assessment
A review of what you plan to do, to identify the right entity type and any regulatory triggers.

Corporate documentation
Preparation and coordination of incorporation and company documents.
07
Banking and payment preparation
Structure and documents ready for corporate banking and payment providers.
08
Operational set-up guidance
Governance, compliance, technology and operations prepared for day one.
02 — Why structure matters
In financial services, the company structure decides what you are allowed to do.
It affects your licence, customer onboarding, bank relationships, payment processing, how funds flow, who owns the technology, cross-border operations and future investment.
Eight questions to answer before incorporating
- What activities will the company perform?
- Will it handle customer funds or assets?
- Does the activity need a licence or regulatory approval?
- Who will own and control the company?
- One market, or several jurisdictions?
- Which entity owns the technology and intellectual property?
- How will banking, payment and settlement flows work?
- Will investors join later?
