Structure & Tax

Structuring your business soundly for efficiency, protection, and flexibility.

Your corporate and financial structure determines how much tax you pay, how well your assets are protected, and how easily you can grow or transact later. We design structures that work in practice, across multiple jurisdictions where relevant, balancing tax efficiency, asset protection, and operational flexibility, with full compliance throughout.

Worked example

Finaccurate Holding: a structure built for growth

Finaccurate Holding was operating across multiple jurisdictions with a structure that no longer fit. We led a full multi-jurisdictional restructuring centred on Monaco and Dubai, opened banking and credit lines, and reduced compliance costs by 35%, clearing the way into three new markets with a clean regulatory audit on completion.

Finaccurate Holding

The situation

Finaccurate Holding was operating across multiple jurisdictions with a corporate structure that no longer fit the business. Capital was sitting idle, banking relationships were incomplete, and the group lacked the operational infrastructure, from client systems to credit lines, to put its balance sheet to work. The priority was a structure that reduced compliance drag while opening access to new markets.

The mandate

M&G Signature led a full multi-jurisdictional restructuring centred on Monaco and Dubai. We opened the Monaco market for the group and secured a CRM partnership to put proper client infrastructure in place. We facilitated banking and credit-line access that had previously been closed to them, restructured the entities to reduce compliance cost and complexity, and put idle capital to work. We also advised on the buy-side as the group evaluated strategic acquisition opportunities.

The outcome

The redesigned structure cut compliance costs by 35% and cleared the way for expansion into three new markets, with a clean regulatory audit on completion.

Impact

€875K annual savings, clean regulatory audit, expansion into three new markets

Spade Developments Ltd

The situation

Spade Developments, a UK construction and real estate firm, was preparing to scale and carrying avoidable cost in two places: an inefficient equipment supply chain and a financing structure that was holding margins down. The firm needed lower input costs, a cleaner supply chain, and capital to fund the next stage of growth.

The mandate

M&G Signature sourced construction equipment directly from vetted Chinese manufacturers, connecting Spade to the factories so they could purchase direct and cut out the margin stacked on by intermediaries. We managed the logistics, delivery, insurance, and export compliance around that supply line, and negotiated improved pricing across the board. Alongside the supply-chain work, we restructured the financing approach, reduced financial inefficiencies, and led the fundraising campaign to capitalise the firm's expansion.

The outcome

Project margins rose from 18% to 24%, the effective tax rate fell by 28%, and the firm increased its capacity by 40%, funded and ready to scale.

Impact

€1.1M annual profit improvement, margins 18% to 24%, 40% capacity increase
