Corporate structuring and holdings
Building the optimal structure of a group of companies with regard to tax, regulatory and sanctions aspects. It covers setting up holdings, redistributing assets between the companies of the group and simplifying redundant structures.
Why PROCTOR
An effective corporate structure has to work not only today but also ten years from now.
The PROCTOR team designs business structures that at the same time provide effective corporate governance, protection of assets, tax efficiency, investment appeal and readiness to scale.
When structuring, we take into account the order of corporate control, the division of powers between the owners, the international elements of the structure, succession planning, sanctions risks, asset protection mechanisms and the possibility of selling the business later or bringing in an investor.
We build corporate models that work not only in line with the law but also in line with the strategic goals of the business owner.
How we build the group structure
From a description of what exists today to a working structure with the assets reassigned and new articles in place.
01
Mapping the current structure
We draw how the business is arranged today: who owns what, where the assets sit, how money moves and which companies of the group duplicate each other.
02
The owner's goals
We establish what the new structure is for: asset protection, an incoming investor, splitting the business between partners, succession planning, entering foreign markets.
03
Draft structure
We propose several models, each with the tax consequences, the regulatory requirements and the sanctions restrictions calculated. We choose one with the owner.
04
Reassigning the assets
We carry out contributions to charter capital, sales of shares and transfers of real estate and intellectual property inside the group, with every registration step.
05
Governance documents
We draft the articles, the shareholders' agreements, the regulations on governing bodies and the group policies, so the new structure works day to day, not only on paper.
Ways we work on a structure
Chosen by whether a one-off opinion is needed or a full rebuild of the group with the assets reassigned.
Opinion on the structure
An analysis of the existing ownership model with a list of the weak points and recommendations. A document the owner can act on without us.
Building a new structure
The draft structure, its approval and full implementation: reassigning assets, articles, registration of changes and support through the first reporting period.
The group under standing support
Our lawyers run every company of the group: new entities, changes in ownership, intra-group agreements, preparation for an investor or for the sale of part of the business.
