Client’s request
An entrepreneur approached us with the task of selecting a country for relocation with their family and moving the business as well. Key requirements included minimal tax burden, clear legislation, a fast-track residence permit process, and the ability to operate legally.
Client’s concerns
The client was considering the UK, Spain, and the Netherlands, but wasn’t sure which legal structure would be most suitable, how to avoid double taxation, or whether the country choice would lead to unnecessary expenses and bureaucracy. Maintaining control over assets was also critical.
Our actions
- We conducted a comparative analysis of tax and immigration regimes in each of the shortlisted countries. Additionally, we suggested two alternative jurisdictions.
- For each option, we assessed business registration models, conditions for self-employed individuals, tax rates, reporting requirements, and the availability of double tax treaties.
- We also compiled data on documentation costs, expenses related to relocating part of the team, legal liability, and asset protection measures.
Outcome
The client received a full picture:
Where it’s comfortable to live
Convenient to run a business
Safe to preserve capital
They chose a country, registered a company, and obtained residence permits for themselves and their family. Part of the team was also relocated. The tax burden was reduced, and the business structure became transparent and resilient.
