Holding design

What it covers
What the engagement includes
Four workstreams, each with a named deliverable — nothing is left as an implicit assumption.
Target structure diagram
The end-state group: holding layer, operating companies and the ownership between them.
Setup path and sequencing
A stepwise plan so the business keeps trading while the structure is put in place.
Governance points per entity
Who decides what, in which company, and how the layers stay accountable.
Handover, not hand-waving
Filings and legal instruments are executed by your lawyer or formation agent, briefed by us.
How it is scoped
Written scope, fixed fee, no surprises
Every mandate is scoped in writing before work starts: what we will look at, what you receive, and what the engagement costs. A fixed fee applies to diagnoses and document work; larger design projects are quoted per project; retainer clients pay a monthly subscription.
Work is delivered online across Europe, in English, through consultations, assessments and written advisory reports.

How it runs
From first call to deliverable
Four stages, one adviser, and a written record at each step.
We validate the diagnosis — or run one first if the map is unclear.
The proposed architecture with a written rationale for every layer.
What happens first, what can wait, and what must never be out of order.
A complete pack for your lawyer or notary, and we stay involved through setup.
Typical elapsed time is stated in the written scope, not estimated on a call.

We design ownership and governance architecture. Incorporations and legal instruments are executed by your chosen professionals; we do not provide legal opinions, and nothing we design should be read as tax advice.
