Entity & Foundation Structuring

Multi-entity corporate structures are the backbone of every serious token project. The standard architecture separates development operations (DevCo), protocol governance (Foundation), token issuance (SPV), and treasury management into distinct legal entities across optimal jurisdictions. This separation provides liability protection, tax efficiency, and regulatory positioning that a single-entity structure cannot achieve.

We design corporate architectures based on your specific operational needs, target markets, and regulatory strategy. Common structures include a Singapore or UAE operating company paired with a Cayman Foundation for governance and a Mauritius or BVI SPV for token issuance. Each jurisdiction is selected for its specific strengths: Singapore for operational credibility and banking access, Cayman for investor familiarity and foundation company law, Mauritius for cost-effective issuance vehicles.

IP licensing is a critical component of multi-entity structures. We create intercompany agreements that properly assign intellectual property to the appropriate entity, establish licensing arrangements between entities, and ensure transfer pricing compliance. Done correctly, this protects IP assets, enables tax-efficient value flows, and creates clear ownership chains that satisfy institutional due diligence.

Our governance documentation establishes board structures, voting mechanisms, reserved matters, and operational procedures for each entity. For foundations and DAOs, we create governance charters that translate on-chain mechanisms into legally enforceable frameworks recognized by courts and regulators.
