Speak with the firm.

No. The first discussion establishes objectives, jurisdictions and constraints, and ends with the firm saying whether it is the appropriate adviser. Fees arise only once a scope has been proposed in writing and accepted.

No, and any firm that says otherwise is describing something other than its own authority. Accounts, licences, registrations and visas are granted by banks, authorities and regulators applying their own criteria. What the firm undertakes is to prepare and coordinate the application to a standard intended to satisfy those criteria.

Legal advice is provided by external counsel, instructed and coordinated by the firm. Tax advisory and audit are delivered through licensed partners. Where the firm holds the relevant licence itself, it says so. The distinction is set out under scope, licensing and limitations.

The firm has offices in Dubai, London, Marbella and Rabat, and establishes and administers structures well beyond them, working with licensed providers in the jurisdiction concerned. Jurisdiction is a conclusion reached from the client’s circumstances, not a menu.

It depends on the jurisdiction, the entity and the banking route, and the proposal states a timeline before any commitment. The variable that most often extends it is documentation held by third parties — certificates, legalisations and translations — rather than the incorporation itself.

Documents, identification, and details of an existing structure. The firm will confirm a secure route once the discussion is arranged. A first enquiry needs only a name, a means of reply and a sentence on the position.

Client information is held in confidence and disclosed only where the firm is required to disclose it by law, by a regulator, or by a bank or authority in the course of an instructed application, and then only to the extent required.
