BUSINESS FORMATION, STRUCTURING AND REGISTRATION
We advise SME founders on the appropriate business formation and structure, after which we register the business on their behalf with relatively lower cost. We provide standard entrepreneur structuring advisory services to help arrive at the right business and holding structure that provides for sustainability and cost efficiency. Once a structure is put in place, we form the legal entities which can be a Partnership, Sole-Proprietorship or Limited Liability Company.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Once a business is formed, we help SMEs open files and obtain needed permits, licences and certificates at various MDAs, depending on their line of operation. We enable SMEs carry out their day to day operations without entangling its management team in the cumbersome and tedious regulatory compliance.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
In order to ensure a lasting business with ensuing growth, we undergo corporate governance activities with the management of SMEs to make them accountable to the appropriate business and management model which the business should follow for sustainability, from the business decision makers to shareholders and also the employees.
