From inquiry to implementation
The analytical design phase has historically taken four to eight weeks. Implementation follows the agreed plan and depends on the authorities and providers involved.
01Initial inquiry & fitBefore a paid engagement
Tijana and the team review your goals, the countries involved and whether relocation or overseas operations are practical. The inquiry can lead to a complete engagement, an individual service, a structure review or a focused paid call.
Documents & evidence
- A short explanation of the goal and existing arrangements.
- Choosing a country before identifying the problem and operational constraints.
02Scope & information gatheringAgreed at the outset
We define the questions, deliverables, responsibilities and fees, then assemble the information needed for the analysis. Information gaps and matters requiring local professional input are identified.
Documents & evidence
- Ownership and operating structure.
- Relevant contracts, financial information and existing advice through the agreed secure process.
- Leaving significant ownership, family or business arrangements out of the initial picture.
03Analysis & strategy designTypically four to eight weeks for the analytical phase
The advisory team evaluates the relevant jurisdictions and mechanisms. Michael reviews and critiques the work. The written reasoning compares alternatives, records dependencies and supports important propositions with sources.
Documents & evidence
- Documented options and recommendation.
- Sources, assumptions and implementation dependencies.
- Mistaking a company tax rate for the combined result or ignoring ongoing costs.
04Presentation & implementation scopeAfter the strategy is approved
Michael presents the strategy. The team confirms the chosen workstreams, sequencing, external providers and practical responsibilities before carrying the plan into effect.
Documents & evidence
- Agreed implementation plan and responsibilities.
- Starting a transaction before its departure-tax, banking or contractual dependencies are resolved.
05Implementation & handoverRoute-specific; confirmed for each workstream
The fulfilment team coordinates the agreed companies, applications, banking and other work. Handover records who will maintain the entities, retain evidence and handle renewals and filings. A separate periodic review can be scoped.
Documents & evidence
- Company and account records as delivered.
- Renewal schedule and agreed ongoing responsibilities.
- Assuming that every future filing or technical review is included without an agreed scope.
Scope, fees and responsibilities
The initial conversation establishes whether a complete engagement, a specific service or a review fits. We then agree the deliverables, fee basis, third-party charges and responsibilities. A paid call with Michael can be an appropriate next step when a focused question needs his input.
