Company Formation & Structuring

Shareholding & UBO Architecture

Beneficial ownership is the center of regulatory and banking scrutiny. We design shareholding structures that are clear, defensible, and aligned with governance and control—reducing onboarding friction and future remediation.

Scope

  • UBO mapping and disclosure alignment (direct/indirect ownership and control)
  • Share classes and rights planning (economic rights vs voting/control)
  • Minority protections, reserved matters, and decision thresholds
  • Cross-border considerations: transparency expectations and documentation burden
  • Future-proofing: entry/exit, transfers, succession scenarios, and restructuring readiness

Deliverables

  • Ownership chart with UBO disclosure support documents list
  • Shareholding architecture memo (rights, control, decision rules)
  • Draft pack outline: shareholder resolutions, registers, and governance alignment

Banking & Compliance Readiness

Banks evaluate: UBO clarity, control logic, legitimacy of arrangements, and documentation consistency across entities. We structure and document ownership to withstand onboarding, periodic KYC refresh, and counterparty due diligence.
