Why clients come to us
Most of our planning work is tax planning. Where a company sits, how it is held and how profits move back to the shareholders decide what the expansion will cost for years. We plan that first, then run the set-up ourselves.
We work with Chinese groups expanding into Europe and Africa, and with European and African companies entering China. Our recent work covers Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, parts of Eastern Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China and the UAE.
