International expertise for structures that work
CyStarter supports entrepreneurs and groups with simple and complex international structures. We connect strategic advice, tax and legal coordination and operational delivery: from the first market entry through to a multi-tier international group.
From the first overseas company to a connected group
Whether a single operating company, a holding structure or a network of connected companies: we design a set-up that fits the ownership circle, activity, capital needs and growth objectives. We take account of parent, subsidiary and sister companies as well as partner, supplier and licensing networks.
Our expertise
We advise on clear, lean structures as well as complex cross-border set-ups across several jurisdictions. The focus is on functions, risks, decision paths, capital and service flows, and practical workability in day-to-day business.
Double tax treaties as part of the structure
International double tax treaties are central to cross-border structures. We review them together with the relevant national rules so that residence, withholding taxes, dividends, interest, royalties and other cross-border payments are classified cleanly. The result is tax-aligned structures, optimised within the legally permitted framework.
Our international network
CyStarter works with an international network of tax and law firms in different jurisdictions. Where needed we coordinate local reviews, incorporations, contract work and ongoing questions, with a central point of contact for the overall project.
