Entity Formation
Company registration is deceptively simple until it is not. The wrong vehicle in the wrong jurisdiction produces tax exposure, banking friction, and shareholder disputes that take years to unwind. We form entities that hold up under scrutiny.
What this involves
- 01Selecting the right corporate form for your commercial intent, tax posture, and exit horizon.
- 02Preparing constitutional documents, shareholder agreements, and beneficial ownership disclosures.
- 03Coordinating registered agents, local directors, and nominee arrangements where local law requires them.
- 04Opening operating and holding accounts with banks that will actually take the file.

How Reevers approaches this
We do not have a house structure. Every engagement begins with a private conversation about what the business is actually trying to do, the commercial goal, the counterparties, the eventual exit. From that, we recommend a structure. Not the other way around.
The formation is only the first artefact. We stay on the file until the operating accounts are open, the first invoices clear, and the treasury lines settle. Then we hand over to your team with a full binder.
