Structuring
Vividscloud designs multi-jurisdictional entity stacks that are built for substance, not just paperwork.
Structuring is the process of selecting, incorporating, and connecting the legal entities that hold your business assets, receive income, and govern ownership. A well-designed structure separates operational risk from asset holding, routes income through jurisdictions with relevant treaty access, and positions IP ownership where it generates the most long-term value. The deliverable is a written structure memo — including entity flow diagrams, a substance checklist for each jurisdiction, and a recommended incorporation sequence — not a verbal conversation that gets forgotten.
Every structuring mandate produces a documented, actionable plan — not a generic jurisdiction recommendation.
We document your current ownership — UBOs, existing entities, existing bank accounts — and identify gaps, conflicts, or risks before designing anything new. This diagnostic phase typically surfaces at least one issue the client was unaware of.
We compare two to four candidate jurisdictions against your specific criteria — treaty coverage, banking availability, substance cost, annual compliance burden — and produce a scored comparison table with a clear recommendation and rationale.
The structure is visualised as a flow diagram showing entity relationships, directional money flows, and the role each entity plays. This document becomes the reference point for your lawyers, accountants, and bankers.
Once you approve the plan, we coordinate with licensed registered agents in each jurisdiction, collect and verify the required KYC documentation, and manage the process through to certificate of incorporation and initial bank introduction.
Our structuring practice is deepest in Mauritius (GBL1 and GBL2 companies, foundations), the British Virgin Islands (BCs and LPs), the UAE (ADGM and JAFZA free zones), and the Seychelles (IBCs). We have working relationships with regulated agents in each jurisdiction and a current understanding of their banking environment — not just their legal framework. If a jurisdiction falls outside this core set, we'll tell you clearly before taking any instruction.
“We came in with a complicated multi-country revenue picture and left with a clear three-entity structure that our UK lawyers said was the cleanest thing they'd reviewed from an African client in years. The memo alone was worth the fee.”
