The owner-side analysis changes
Personal tax residence, CFC exposure, remuneration and distributions may need to be reassessed against the new facts.
FOUNDER MOBILITY
Founder Mobility & Business Relocation
When a founder, owner or director moves country, the business can move with them in ways that are not visible in the corporate documents. We review the personal and corporate consequences as one cross-border transition — before the move, during restructuring or after issues have already appeared.
WHY THIS BECOMES A BUSINESS ISSUE
A personal move can change the operating reality of the group
Relocation is not only a personal tax-residence question. The same move can change where decisions are made, how companies are managed, what banks see and which parts of the structure need to be reconsidered.
Management may move with the founder
If strategic decisions, authority or control follow the owner, company-residence and permanent-establishment questions may also change.
Banks and counterparties see the new reality
KYC, CRS, Source of Funds / Source of Wealth, governance and the explanation of control must remain consistent with how the business actually operates.
WHAT WE REVIEW
One relocation map across the connected workstreams
The purpose is to understand the transition as a system before separate local conclusions are applied.
Personal residence & CFC facts
Where the owner lives, what they control, how ownership is exercised and which facts require jurisdiction-specific tax analysis.
Management & company residence
Where strategic decisions are made, who controls accounts and contracts, and whether the management model still matches the corporate structure.
PE & international team
Where directors, employees and contractors work, what authority they have and whether the move changes presence-related risk.
Dividends, remuneration & treaty interfaces
How owner payments and cross-border flows connect with treaty, withholding-tax and beneficial-ownership questions for specialist review.
Banking, CRS & source of wealth
How the new residence affects KYC narratives, account structures, ownership explanations and evidence of funds and wealth.
Governance, substance & restructuring
Whether authority, decision trails, company functions and the legal structure need to be aligned or reorganised after the move.
HOW TO ENGAGE
Choose the work format by the stage of the task
Relocation is not one fixed service. Before the move the priority may be bounded diagnosis; after the move the same facts may require a systemic audit, a defined restructuring project or ongoing monitoring.
Express Risk Review
Use before the move or at an early stage to map residence, control, management, team and banking facts and identify what needs specialist confirmation.
Open format →Strategic Structure Audit
Use when the move has already affected several entities, management, ownership, banking or evidence and the existing model needs a whole-system review.
Open format →Project-Based Advisory
Use when a defined outcome must be delivered: restructuring, governance changes, banking remediation, evidence preparation or implementation coordination.
Open format →Ongoing Advisory
Use after the baseline is clear when residence, governance, banking or group facts need continuing monitoring after relocation.
