Frequently asked questions
When should I restructure?
Ideally before raising funds, admitting new partners or buying significant assets, when changes are simpler.
Does restructuring always save tax?
No. A structure must make commercial sense first. Tax-driven arrangements without substance are risky.
Do you handle the filings too?
Yes. We carry out the approvals and filings once the structure is agreed.
