Private and Institutional Clients
At Dixcart, we provide sophisticated corporate services designed to meet the full spectrum of needs for both private clients and institutional organisations. With over 50 years’ experience advising and administering international structures across multiple jurisdictions, our focus is on delivering seamless and effective solutions.
For Private Clients
Corporate services play an important role in structuring and managing private wealth, providing the necessary framework for effective administration and regulatory compliance.
We help individuals, families and entrepreneurs set up and manage corporate entities that protect wealth and unlock opportunities worldwide. Whether your interests include investment portfolios, real estate, luxury assets or operating entities, we provide:
- Strategic structuring advice tailored to your goals
- Full corporate administration and compliance oversight
- Director and registered office services
- Tax compliance support and accountancy services
- Assistance with transactions, acquisitions and disposals
- Coordinated support alongside your legal and financial advisers
Our clients have a vast array of assets within their structures we look after, ranging from routine investment portfolios, real estate and holding companies, through to operating companies and alternative assets such as yachts, planes, cars, art and wine. These differing asset classes often require a variety of structures. The most common approach involves using a company to hold the assets and/or carry out the activity, either directly owned by individuals or by a Trust or Foundation.
However, the use of Private Trust Company (PTC), General Partner & Limited Partnership (GP / LP), Protected Cell Company (PCC), Private Investment Fund (PIF) structures carried over from the corporate world are increasingly popular due to how each can offer increased flexibility for involvement of clients, as well as provide increased levels of corporate governance.
We work closely with your advisers to help determine and establish the correct structure for your requirements and objectives.
Dixcart has extensive experience in providing company administration, director, and secretarial services across multiple jurisdictions. For multi-jurisdictional entities, we can consolidate these services through a single office which has the following advantages:
- provides you with a single and consistent point of contact
- provides a consistent high level of service and reporting standards
- can be in a time zone that is most convenient for you
This is achieved by each office working alongside our other offices, and in the jurisdictions we do not have a presence, alongside our network of contacts worldwide, which improves communication when working with multiple service providers in different time zones.
For Corporate and Institutional Clients
Dixcart partners with corporate groups, listed entities and institutional stakeholders to streamline operations, enhance governance, and support growth. Our services are designed to suit the complex demands of institutional structures, including:
- Day to day administration and company secretarial services
- Director services
- Registered office and agent services
- Tax compliance services
- Accountancy services
- Dealing with transactions such as all aspects of acquisitions and disposals
- Escrow services
- Securitization services
- Exchange listing services
Where such a full suite of services is provided through a regulated Dixcart office and an alternative to group banking is required, this greatly aids in the setting up of bank accounts, particularly with the banks we have close working relationships with.
We are also experienced in working alongside your legal and tax advisors in providing professional and timely services particularly during transactions, be it for an acquisition or disposal, or, whether it is restructuring and financing.
We have experience working with a variety of companies, from pure investment holding and treasury operations, to large and complex structures undertaking operational, trading or active property or asset management. Dixcart can coordinate the establishment and management of corporate or similar vehicles, helping our clients meet their objectives, and importantly, allow them to concentrate on their main priority – running their businesses.
Our teams are experienced with working with a variety of structure types ranging from companies and Protected Cell Company (PCC) to General Partner & Limited Partnership (GP / LP) structures and Unit Trusts.
These entity types are typically used from straight forward asset holding to more complex unregulated fund type structures for sophisticated investors or joint ventures. Asset types range from group holdings and real estate thought to more complex infrastructure and mining projects.
Full corporate governance and secretarial support services are provided out of our Guernsey office to clients listed on various world stock exchanges. These services are also useful to corporate clients who are moving up a tier in size and require increased corporate governance capabilities but are not yet at the stage to employ such a resource full time internally. Existing clients based internationally, are listed on a variety of international stock exchanges and meetings can be attended in person or virtually.
Through Dixcart’s experience in providing company administration, director and secretarial services in multiple jurisdictions, we are able to aid the internal company secretarial team of an international group where they have multi-jurisdictional underlying asset holding entities. We can consolidate these services for these entities through a single office which has the following advantages for your internal company secretarial team:
- Provides them with a single and consistent point of contact
- Provides a consistent high level of service and reporting standards
- Can be in a time zone that is most convenient for them
The retention of certain key staff is an important consideration for a company, and in certain circumstances, an incentive scheme is the preferred option. Dixcart’s corporate services for institutions can assist with a number of options to incentivise critical staff to remain with the company.
Relevant options will vary depending on the location of the company, but we would be pleased to discuss options further with you and your advisers.
