Built for HNI families & leaders: problems we solve—side by side

A compliance-first pathway under IMC standards—clear strategy, due-diligence-ready documentation, and coordinated execution from discovery to landing.

ProblemStrategy Risk

Program noise, shifting rules, and one-size-fits-all advice

HNI families face a maze of options (RBI/CBI, entrepreneur, skilled, family) with frequent policy changes and conflicting market narratives.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

IMC-aligned discovery & dual-track plan

Independent shortlisting across jurisdictions with a primary and contingency route (e.g., fund/investment vs. skills/corporate), so pivots are pre-planned if rules shift.

Implemented by expertsKeeps optionality while avoiding dead-ends.
ProblemDue-Diligence

Complex source-of-funds (SoF) & AML/KYC scrutiny

Multi-asset wealth (private companies, real estate exits, carried interest, trusts) generates DD friction; PEP checks and adverse media can trigger slowdowns.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

Forensic SoF narrative & DD-ready pack

A coherent funds trail (audited statements, SPAs, distributions, trust deeds) plus PEP/adverse-media screening upfront—presented in regulator-friendly structure.

Implemented by expertsBuilt to AML expectations; reduces back-and-forth.
ProblemCapital Risk

Instrument risk & execution (escrow, fund terms, liquidity)

Unclear escrow terms, side letters, and redemption mechanics expose capital to delays or lock-ups; real-estate options are restricted in some programs.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

Curated, policy-compliant routes & risk brief

We align the route with current program policy, summarize key risks (governance, liquidity, fees), and co-ordinate counsel for subscription/escrow document checks.

Implemented by expertsWe do not provide investment advice—process & compliance only.
ProblemTax/Reporting

Tax residency & presence-day traps

Unplanned days on the ground, tie-breaker rules and reporting (CRS/AEOI) can create unexpected tax outcomes for globally mobile families.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

Pre-landing planning with accredited advisors

We flag tax-residency impacts at strategy stage, then co-ordinate opinions with specialist counsel on timing, domicile, and reporting to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Implemented by expertsSequencing avoids accidental tax residence.
ProblemFamily

Family governance (spouse, dependants, education, succession)

Cut-off ages, dependency rules, and study plans are often misaligned with the chosen route; succession/estate angles get missed.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

Whole-household routing & documentation map

We blueprint eligibility across family members, align education timelines, and highlight succession/estate touchpoints for counsel review.

Implemented by expertsAvoids last-minute dependent exclusions.
ProblemCorporate

Corporate mobility & PE/payroll compliance

C-suite relocations, intra-company transfers and remote leadership risk permanent establishment, payroll leakage and license breaches.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

Business-case kits & host-country compliance

We assemble visa-fit business cases, co-ordinate with local counsel for entity/PE/payroll checks, and stage entry so licenses and reporting stay in sync.

Implemented by expertsProtects both executive and enterprise.
ProblemExecution

Missed timelines & expiring docs (PCCs, bank letters, medicals)

Critical documents lapse or land out of sequence, causing re-work and queue resets.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

Milestone calendar with proactive refreshes

We maintain a live tracker for time-sensitive documents, file early, and respond fast to clarifications until decision and landing.

Implemented by expertsMinimizes idle time and duplicate effort.
ProblemGovernance

Unlicensed intermediaries & over-promising

Informal advisory and unverified claims create refusal risk and reputational exposure for HNIs.

Risk to timelines/compliance
Solution

IMC-certified leadership & transparent scope

Engagements are documented with clear scope, compliant marketing, and ethics-first guidance under IMC’s code of conduct.

Implemented by expertsLed by a Fellow Certified Investment Migration Consultant (FIMC).
