Decisions on tax status, source-of-wealth documentation and the receiving bank are taken before signing. Once the transaction closes, some of the options and part of the paperwork are left behind.
At our expense, in writing, five working days.
By the time an owner prepares an exit, someone has already offered a residence programme, a second passport, an account abroad or an ownership structure. We examine that offer against primary sources and send a written answer.
What the seller said, what the primary source says, a link to the document and the date we opened it.
What a legal instrument confirms, and what rests on verbal assurances and marketing material.
Where questions remain after the analysis, we take them on a call and answer them substantively.
One offer per enquiry. The client's name and the substance of the task stay with us: the analysis is prepared under a confidentiality agreement.
In the autumn of 2026 the citizenship of one island state was widely sold on the Russian-speaking market as a fast technical passport for applying to European programmes and for opening accounts. The all-in price consisted of a $90,000 contribution, a $5,000 submission fee, state duties and an intermediary fee of $10,000 to $25,000.
A check against primary sources showed a different picture. The passport opens 63 destinations rather than the advertised 90 to 93. The Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, the UAE and Türkiye all require a visa — precisely the destinations the document is bought for. Confirmed cases of applying to European programmes or opening accounts with it came to zero. Place of birth is printed in the passport under the ICAO standard, and deposit limits follow the holder's citizenship, so the cover of the document has little bearing on them.
Such a review takes five working days of our time. A decision taken on the seller's word costs roughly $110,000 and a year.
Three jurisdictions, each with our own execution, in place of a list of countries to choose from.
Residency through property or a company, banking infrastructure, and no personal income tax. The route for an owner who keeps trading.
Residency through property in the financial centre of the Gulf. We have an office here, so filing and support are handled from within the country.
Ten-year residency, including routes by age, by employment and by running your own business. A calm jurisdiction for a family and for capital.
Which of the three suits you is what the residency map shows: each has its own requirements for physical presence, for family and for evidence of capital. Italy we run separately: there the work is the tax regime for new residents, while the grounds for living in the country come from the elective residence visa.
Each step builds on the result of the previous one. The price is stated in advance.
You hold one contract, one invoice and one person you speak to throughout. Responsibility for the result and for the timetable stays on our side: where a date slips, we make it up at our own cost and within the same price.
What is done, what is running, which step comes next and by when. A slipped date shows on the day it slips.
What to upload, what has been accepted and what has gone to the authority of the receiving country. A log shows who opened your file and when.
The work has a named lead with a direct line. The same person holds the dates and answers substantively.
Where the programme runs through the purchase of an asset and we source that asset, the engagement is included in its cost: our income then arrives from the market side, and we pass that amount to you instead of keeping it quietly. Where a programme involves no asset, the price of the work is stated plainly and in full.
One boundary stays fixed: what reaches our account is the fee for the work. The programme contribution, the purchase of the asset and any of your investment funds go directly to the chosen jurisdiction.
Residence permits, tax status and a bank decision rest with states and with banks. Our part is preparation, submission and control of the timetable.
The money stays in your own accounts. Payments go through banks and licensed operators; investment advice is given by licensed market participants.
Acts that require a licence in the chosen country are carried out by organisations holding one. Responsibility for the work as a whole stays with us.
Commercial and residential, Russian and international markets. Sourcing, vetting, transaction support, asset management.
Assets sold through us. Club members see them ahead of the open market.
Our role is limited to preparing the decision and vetting the counterparty. Client funds remain in their own accounts.
Before signing. Tax residency is determined over the calendar year in which the transaction takes place, so the status at year end changes the tax on the sale. Source-of-wealth documents are also easier to assemble while the company is trading and the accounts are at hand.
A bank looks at the whole picture: citizenships, place of birth, tax residencies and the origin of funds. The place of birth is printed in the passport under the ICAO standard, and the common reporting standard requires every citizenship to be disclosed. An account is therefore opened by documented source of wealth, with the document itself serving as an addition.
In three ways. We begin with a check against primary sources, and the conclusion may well be that something else suits you better, or that waiting suits you best. The price is usually lower: part of the income arrives from the market side and we take that amount off yours. And the timetable stays our responsibility — where a date slips, we make it up at our own cost within the same price.
Turnkey: gathering the documents, filing, correspondence with the authority of the receiving country, the source-of-wealth file and control of the timetable through to the status. You follow it in the client portal and speak with a single lead. The programme contribution and the purchase of the asset go directly to the jurisdiction, bypassing our accounts.
Written documents: a jurisdiction map with a primary source under every figure, the tax structure of the transaction with structural options, and a source-of-wealth pack. They remain yours in any outcome and serve equally in a conversation with a bank and with a buyer of the business.
Three lines: the objective, the timing, and what has already been offered to you. We reply within one working day, and what you tell us stays between us.
