Business setup / international & offshore

A global ambition.
A structure with purpose.

An operating business, an asset-holding company and a special purpose vehicle solve different problems. We coordinate an informed setup brief with the relevant corporate, legal and tax specialists—then connect the resulting business to its market-entry plan.

Savant SvarogStrategy into execution.

A practical first engagement

Choose a structure
for a defined purpose.

For an operating expansion, holding purpose or project vehicle that needs a jurisdiction-specific assessment.

For the first conversation: Share the commercial purpose, countries involved and whether the entity will trade, employ people or hold assets.

Illustrative scope · tailored after discovery

A cross-border structuring brief

  1. Purpose & ownership map

    What the entity will do or hold, where decisions are made, and the relevant owner and counterparty locations.

  2. Specialist assessment scope

    Questions for the appointed local corporate, legal and tax professionals, including reporting and operating restrictions.

  3. Implementation & maintenance map

    Provider appointments, banking readiness, recurring obligations and the steps needed after incorporation.

Your proposal confirms the deliverables, fees, dependencies and responsibilities before work starts.

The solution architecture

Start with the commercial purpose.
Then assess the jurisdiction.

We assess requested destinations subject to local eligibility and provider availability. Jurisdictions shown here are options for assessment, not a claim of Savant offices, accreditations or guaranteed service availability in every country.

01

International operating companies

Support a new market, local contracting or cross-border commercial activity.

  • Customer and operating locations; management and staffing requirements
  • Local registration, address, beneficial ownership and reporting assessment
  • Banking feasibility, tax advice and market-entry requirements before commitment
02

Offshore & holding structures

Assess a holding or international structure against a documented, legitimate purpose.

  • Ownership of assets or subsidiaries and intended transaction flows
  • Registered-agent, disclosure, substance and ongoing filing requirements
  • Residence, reporting and tax effects reviewed by qualified advisers in relevant countries
03

SPVs & project structures

Ring-fence a defined purpose only where the proposed vehicle is legally suitable.

  • Purpose, assets, counterparties, ownership and expected lifespan
  • Constitutional documents and limits of permitted activity
  • ADGM eligibility and licensed corporate-service-provider requirements where applicable
04

UAE offshore routes

Evaluate Jafza or RAK ICC against the intended holding or international purpose.

  • Registered-agent appointment and incorporation requirements
  • Activity limitations, permitted assets and documentation needs
  • No assumption that an offshore vehicle grants operating, employment or residency rights
05

International jurisdiction assessment

Compare selected options with local specialists rather than selling a universal package.

  • UK: company registration, registered office, identity and filing requirements
  • Singapore: local requirements and appointed corporate service provider
  • BVI or Cayman: appropriate local agent/provider, structure and disclosure review
06

Cross-border launch & continuity

Keep the structure connected to commercial and administrative reality.

  • Banking readiness and evidence of intended business activity
  • Accounting, reporting, renewals and governance responsibility map
  • Brand localisation, market-entry research and customer acquisition plan

The questions that determine the route

A structure should solve
a real business problem.

Our discovery brief equips the appointed professionals to assess suitability and identify issues before applications begin.

01

Purpose & control

What will the entity own, do and contract for?

  • Where are owners, directors and effective management located?
  • Who controls the company and who must be disclosed?
02

Operations & counterparties

Where will revenue, costs and people sit?

  • Which countries contain customers, employees, assets and suppliers?
  • What evidence will banks and other counterparties require?
03

Obligations & exit

What happens after the certificate is issued?

  • What reporting, tax, accounting, substance and renewal obligations apply?
  • How will future ownership changes, closure or restructuring be handled?

What progress looks like

Check purpose, obligations
and operating readiness.

Targets are agreed after a baseline review. These are measurement categories, not promised results or historical performance claims.

Commercial questionWhat we measure

Is the purpose documented?

A clear explanation of intended activities, assets, ownership and transaction flows.

Are obligations understood?

Jurisdiction-specific costs, filings, tax review, provider and management responsibilities.

Is the business usable?

Banking application preparation, operational permissions and contractual requirements assessed separately.

Details before decisions

The questions
worth asking.

Clear expectations make for a better engagement.

What is the difference between an SPV and an operating company?

An SPV is formed for a defined purpose, often holding assets or interests, and may be subject to restrictions that make it unsuitable for ordinary trading or employment. An operating company is selected for the intended commercial activity. The exact permissions depend on the jurisdiction and structure.

Do offshore structures remove tax or disclosure obligations?

No. Offshore incorporation does not remove beneficial ownership, reporting, tax-residence, anti-money-laundering or other legal obligations. We do not promote concealment or tax evasion. Qualified advisers assess the obligations in each relevant country.

Can you arrange an ADGM SPV?

We can coordinate an assessment and the engagement of an appropriately licensed provider. ADGM’s eligibility and documentation requirements apply; non-exempt SPVs must appoint an ADGM-licensed company service provider. Formation suitability is confirmed by the appointed specialists.

Can you support a country that is not listed?

Send the jurisdiction, activity, shareholder locations and commercial purpose. We assess whether an appropriate local delivery route is available before offering a scope. Inclusion in an inquiry is not confirmation that a service is available.

Will an offshore company get a bank account?

Banking is a separate application and risk assessment. Ownership, business purpose, transaction flows, presence and supporting evidence matter. Incorporation does not guarantee that any bank will accept the company.

Your next move

What does the new entity
need to make possible?

Explain the purpose and countries involved. We will assess an appropriate route before proposing a jurisdiction or provider.
