A Structured Approach to Every Engagement
Every client engagement begins with listening. We take the time to understand your structure, your objectives, and the African markets that matter to you — before we propose a solution. Our approach is built around proactive communication, genuine local expertise, and a single accountable relationship team.
Discovery & Scoping
We begin with a structured conversation to understand your entity footprint, compliance obligations, and priorities. We then provide a detailed scope of services and fee schedule — with no obligation. For African market engagements, we include a regulatory overview and realistic timeline estimate for each jurisdiction.
Onboarding & KYC
Our Africa AML team conducts enhanced due diligence for all engagements — including PEP screening, multi-language adverse media searches, and source of funds analysis. A dedicated onboarding manager coordinates the transition, whether you are a new entity or transferring from another provider.
Execution & Entity Establishment
Our partner network executes entity formation across each target market, coordinated by your Ipic relationship team. We manage the registry process, tax registrations, and compliance calendar setup — so you have a single point of accountability across every jurisdiction.
Ongoing Administration
Day-to-day service is managed by your dedicated relationship team. We proactively monitor compliance deadlines, regulatory changes, and filing requirements across your African portfolio — and communicate issues before they become urgent. You will never need to chase us for an update.
Annual Review & Optimisation
At least annually, we review your entity portfolio to identify opportunities to simplify structures, reduce costs, rationalise dormant entities, and ensure your corporate infrastructure remains aligned with your business strategy.
Completion & Ongoing Partnership
Once your structure is fully operational, we confirm all filings, registrations, and compliance frameworks are in place across each jurisdiction. We then transition your portfolio into ongoing management, ensuring continuous oversight, proactive compliance monitoring, and long term support as your business evolves across Africa.
