What the service covers

Choice of jurisdiction, legal form and, in the UAE, free zone.
Drafting of articles and shareholders' agreement, filing with the competent registry.
Delivery of the complete corporate file, in original and digital copy.
Substance file prepared before incorporation, not after.

What we tell you before we start

!

We only incorporate once we have verified that the activity is bankable in the jurisdiction envisaged. A company without an account is a receipt, not a business.

How a company formation runs

Five steps, in the same order everywhere: scoping and identity checks, name reservation, filing and registration, delivery of the corporate file, then the bank file. The wording of each step depends on the group the jurisdiction belongs to.

International place of incorporation (35)

Scoping and identity verificationWe build your client due diligence file and check that the activity can be incorporated and banked in this jurisdiction. This is where we say no, if need be.
Name reservationThe registered agent checks availability with the registry and reserves the chosen name.
Filing and incorporationArticles, memorandum and director appointments are filed. The certificate of incorporation is issued.
Delivery of the corporate fileCertificate of incorporation, articles, register of members, share certificates and minutes of incorporation, in original and digital copy.
Account openingBanking file prepared and presented to the target institutions. The timetable depends on the bank, never on us.

Choosing the jurisdiction: four criteria

Capital: the minimum the law requires, sometimes to be paid in before registration, sometimes not at all.
Timeline: the registration time once the file is complete; the bank account comes after, on the bank's own schedule.
Tax: the corporate rate shown on each page, with its source and date; it depends on where the company is actually managed, and is checked for your case.
Substance: what the jurisdiction expects on the ground — local director, office, staff — for the company to be recognised as based there.
