Start With The Person

International structuring should not begin with a company, a visa or a tax regime. It should begin with the individual.

—Where do you live?
—Where does your family live?
—Where are you tax resident?
—How secure is your immigration position?
—Where is your business managed?
—Where does your income arise?
—How well can your source of wealth and source of funds be documented?

Only when these questions are understood does it make sense to structure a business, move capital or make significant investments.

At K52, we look at the individual, the family and the business as parts of one international structure.

Do Not Invest Yet

Before committing capital in a new country, establish a secure legal, tax and personal position for yourself and your family.

Stability first. Investment second.

For Individuals & Families

Build your international position before building around it.

Moving abroad changes more than your address. Tax residence, immigration status, banking, family arrangements, business ownership and long-term citizenship planning can all become interconnected.

We help internationally mobile individuals and families establish a connected position across jurisdictions — before relocation, during relocation, or after they have already moved.

Prepare

Planning to leave your current country?

We help establish the sequence before the move: immigration, tax residence, family, banking, business and assets.

Stabilise

Already abroad, but not yet securely established?

We help organise your legal, tax and compliance position before major business or investment decisions are made.

Restructure

Already relocated, but your affairs have become fragmented across several countries?

We review the existing position, identify uncertainties and help rebuild a unified international structure.

Understand First. Structure Second.

International Position Review

Every international structure starts with understanding the current position. We consider citizenship and immigration status, physical presence, family location, tax residence, banking and compliance, sources of income and wealth, business ownership and management, and the client's long-term objectives.

The objective is not simply to recommend a jurisdiction. It is to determine:

Where you are now→ What needs attention→ Where you want to be→ How to get there

Where specialist local advice is required, the relevant position is verified with an appropriate professional in that jurisdiction.

Build For The Long Term

Residence is not the same as citizenship.

For internationally mobile families, long-term planning may require more than obtaining the next residence permit.

Depending on the client's circumstances, we may consider tax residence, long-term residence, citizenship diversification and eventual destination as separate stages of one strategy.

The objective is resilience: avoiding unnecessary dependence on a single temporary status, jurisdiction or travel document.

For Entrepreneurs & Businesses

Your business structure should follow your life — not contradict it.

International businesses and their owners should be structured together. We design cross-border business structures taking into account the operating company, ownership, tax residence of the owner, profit distribution, banking and compliance, and the possibility of a future exit.

For clients whose personal international position is already established, we can proceed directly to business structuring. Where it is not, we may recommend addressing the owner's personal position first.

Key areas

International corporate structuring Holding structures Business relocation Export-oriented businesses International profit distribution Dividend planning Owner taxation Exit planning

Our current core structuring work includes solutions involving Uzbekistan, Cyprus and Malta, together with other jurisdictions where appropriate.

A decision in one area can change the position in another.

K52's role is to understand the interaction between them and coordinate the overall international strategy.

For Professional Advisers

Specialist cross-border solutions for your clients.

K52 works primarily alongside lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, wealth managers, family offices and other trusted professional advisers.

We provide specialist cross-border structuring and coordination where a client's circumstances extend beyond a single jurisdiction or professional discipline. We complement, rather than replace, the existing adviser-client relationship.

The referring adviser can remain the relationship owner while K52 coordinates the international work required for the mandate.

We can assist with

International client diagnostics Cross-border structuring Tax residence & mobility planning Business-owner structuring Jurisdictional coordination Specialist local implementation

We also selectively accept direct engagements where the matter falls within our areas of specialist expertise.

How We Work

K52 is a London-based international advisory practice and a member of TransOxiana Group. We take responsibility for the overall cross-border strategy and coordination of its implementation.

Depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the mandate, delivery is provided through TransOxiana Group capabilities or in cooperation with carefully selected independent professional firms. This allows us to combine a single strategic view with appropriate local expertise.

Core Jurisdictions

Uzbekistan • Cyprus • Malta • Spain • Uruguay

Our work is concentrated around a defined group of jurisdictions that form the core of our current private-client and business structuring solutions.

Where a client's objectives require a different jurisdiction, we assess alternatives and work with appropriate local professionals.

About K52

K52 is a specialised international advisory practice based in London. We work with internationally mobile individuals, families, entrepreneurs and business owners whose personal and commercial affairs extend across jurisdictions.

Our approach is based on a simple principle:

Understand the destination. Build the route. Implement in the right sequence.
