What is the difference between a holding company and an SPV?
A holding company generally owns shares or investments in other entities. An SPV is typically created for a defined purpose, such as a particular asset, transaction or project. The right choice depends on the commercial objective and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
How do you decide which jurisdiction is suitable?
We consider the business rationale, ownership, location of operations and assets, banking needs, investor expectations, tax and treaty considerations, substance rules, reporting obligations and future plans. No jurisdiction is suitable for every situation.
Can One Incorp help with shareholder or joint venture agreements?
We coordinate the agreement requirements as part of the structuring process and can work with the client's legal advisers or relevant legal specialists. Legal drafting and advice should be provided by appropriately qualified professionals.
What does economic substance mean?
Economic substance rules may require certain entities or activities to demonstrate appropriate local presence, management or business activity. Requirements differ by jurisdiction and activity, so they should be assessed for the specific structure.
Can a group structure reduce tax?
Tax implications depend on the facts, applicable laws, treaties, substance, ownership and how the entities operate. One Incorp focuses on lawful, commercially grounded structuring and does not promote hiding income or unlawful tax avoidance. Relevant tax advice should be confirmed with qualified advisers.
Can you restructure an existing international group?
We can support group restructuring and redomiciliation planning where permitted, including coordinating the relevant entities and professional advisers. Feasibility depends on the jurisdictions, existing obligations, approvals and transaction circumstances.
