Two-entity holding + redundant rails

01 / BEFORE

The Challenge

The founder's direct-to-consumer brand shipped to customers across North America, Europe, and Asia, but the entire operation still ran through a single domestic company. Profits were taxed at the highest marginal rate, payment processors froze funds during volume spikes, and there was no clean way to hold inventory or pay suppliers in the regions where the business operated. Every quarter of growth made the structure more fragile.

02 / BLUEPRINT

Our Approach

  • 01Mapped the supply chain, customer base, and cash flows to identify where value was genuinely created across borders.
  • 02Designed a tax-efficient holding and operating structure aligned with the founder's residency and long-term goals.
  • 03Opened multi-currency business banking and integrated redundant payment processors to end the freeze-and-hold cycle.
  • 04Established a compliant intercompany framework for inventory, IP, and supplier payments.
  • 05Relocated the founder to a favourable residency to legally anchor the new structure.
03 / OUTCOME

The Outcome

Effective tax rate reduced from over 30% to single digits, fully compliant across every jurisdiction.
Eliminated processor freezes by spreading volume across redundant, region-appropriate rails.
Freed up six figures of annual cash flow to reinvest in inventory and paid acquisition.
A scalable foundation that now supports expansion into new markets without re-architecting.
