Global Company Formation

We handle company formations in Delaware (C-Corps and LLCs), UK private limited companies, Panama foundations and corporations, as well as limited companies in Cayman Islands and BVI, ensuring every document meets investor and regulatory standards. Our team coordinates with local agents, accountants, and banks to streamline onboarding and ensure substance, residency and tax requirements are satisfied from day one.

2.

Founder, Shareholder and Capital Setup

We structure founder shareholdings, share classes, cap tables, vesting and voting rights. We also prepare founders’ agreements, shareholders’ agreements, board resolutions and IP assignments required for a compliant and investor-ready company.

3.

Entity Conversion and Corporate Restructuring

We advise on converting an existing company into a different legal form, including LLC-to-C-Corp conversions where available. We manage the required approvals, documents and filings while protecting ownership, contracts and business continuity.

4.

Share Swaps and Ownership Reorganisation

We implement share transfers, share swaps, capital increases, new share classes and other ownership changes. This can simplify the cap table, introduce new investors or reorganise the company before a funding round.

5.

Mergers and Group Simplification

We support subsidiary mergers, company consolidations and the removal of redundant entities from international groups. A simpler corporate structure can reduce administration and make the business easier for investors and banks to review.

6.

Redomiciliation and Cross-Border Company Migration

We advise on moving or continuing a company in another jurisdiction when legally and commercially appropriate. Working with local counsel and tax advisers, we coordinate registrations, asset transfers, tax considerations and substance requirements.

7.

Pre-Fundraising and Pre-Exit Restructuring

Before an investment round, acquisition or exit, we review ownership, governance, intellectual property and intercompany arrangements. We correct structural gaps and prepare the corporate approvals required for investor due diligence.

8.

Corporate Filings and Restructuring Implementation

We prepare board and shareholder approvals, registry filings, constitutional amendments and closing documents required to complete the restructuring. This provides a clear implementation process across all relevant jurisdictions.

Legal Entity and Jurisdiction Fit

We compare company types and jurisdictions against your business model, founders’ locations, operational plans, funding strategy and ongoing costs. The goal is a legal structure that works in practice as the company grows.

2.

Founder Control and Corporate Governance

We balance voting rights, board control, reserved matters, founder vesting and minority protections. This helps prevent internal disputes and creates a governance framework that investors can easily understand.

3.

Clear Ownership and Cap Table

We verify that the cap table, share register, share certificates and corporate approvals are consistent. Any ownership gaps are corrected before they create problems during banking checks or investor due diligence.

4.

Continuity of Contracts and Business Assets

During a company conversion or restructuring, we identify contracts, intellectual property, licences and accounts that must remain in place or be transferred. We coordinate the required consents and documents to minimise disruption.

5.

Banking and Operational Readiness

We prepare ownership charts, corporate records and business information requested by banks, payment providers and commercial partners. A clear company structure makes KYC checks and operational onboarding easier to manage.

6.

Tax and Regulatory Coordination

Working with accountants, tax advisers and local counsel, we review the tax residency, reporting and regulatory implications of the proposed changes. This helps founders understand their obligations before implementing the structure.

7.

Post-Incorporation Corporate Compliance

We establish practical processes for statutory records, board approvals, annual filings and company changes. This helps the business remain compliant after the incorporation or restructuring process is complete.

8.

Funding and Exit Readiness

We create structures capable of supporting new investors, employee option plans, additional share classes, international expansion or a future sale. This reduces the need for corrective restructuring at a later stage.
