ROUTE SHEET
Incorporation Protocol
We have standardised international bureaucratic complexity into a linear and efficient process. Our team centralises legal, tax and administrative management, allowing you to operate in your chosen jurisdiction with full assurance of regulatory compliance.
01. Compliance Validation (KYC)
Initiation of the dossier by digitally compiling basic documentation (Passport and Proof of Residence). We perform legal and regulatory validation (AML) in less than 24 hours to ensure a seamless process.
02. Incorporation and Official Registration
Drafting of articles of association and preparation of articles of association in accordance with local regulations. We manage the filing with the competent registration authority and settle the governmental fees until the Certificate of Incorporation is obtained.
03. Operational Activation and Banking
Formal delivery of the ‘Corporate Set’ with the company's legal documents. In this final phase, we execute the introductions with the selected financial institutions or EMIs to enable the company's treasury.
We were looking for legal certainty to operate in Europe, but bureaucracy was holding us back. Your team not only handled the registration, but also advised us on the optimal tax structure. We feel we have an in-house legal department.
