Complex Business Engineering (Legal & Tax)

Areas of Expertise in Structuring

  • Optimization of transfers and repatriation of profits
  • Royalty and licensing flow architecture (IP/Digital)
  • Legal structure of local operating entities
  • Transfer pricing files and related documentation
  • Tax arrangements for asset acquisitions and disposals

This is the core of our business. Business engineering at AVOGAMA INTERNATIONAL is the art of assembling sophisticated legal and tax structures that guarantee operational efficiency and maximum optimization of cross-border capital flows. We reject “off-the-shelf” solutions in favor of designing exclusive and resilient arrangements tailored to the specific characteristics of your assets, operations, and local regulations.

Our expertise goes beyond standard tax advice. We orchestrate the articulation of bilateral tax treaties, ensure the protection of intangible assets (intellectual property), and structure the taxation of infrastructure and energy projects. We position ourselves as your single point of entry for complexity, ensuring that your structure is not only compliant but also optimized for sustainable value creation.

Creation of Investment Vehicles & M&A

Types of Structures Mastered

  • International Holdings (Control Holding, Holding company)
  • Joint Ventures (JV) and Transnational Consortiums
  • Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) for Energy/Infrastructure projects
  • Investment Funds and Trust Structures/Fiduciaries
  • Assistance with negotiation and structuring of acquisitions (M&A)

We design the vehicles that give shape to your investment strategies, whether they involve organic or external growth. Whether your goal is to acquire a sector target, set up an asset management fund, or create a strategic joint venture to share risks and resources, we design the most effective vehicle for the transaction.

From international holding companies to special purpose vehicles (SPVs) dedicated to a single asset (e.g., solar farm), our engineering guarantees maximum asset protection and administrative efficiency. We manage the entire life cycle of the vehicle, from creation (articles of association, registration) to the management of shareholder agreements, including support for due diligence in the context of mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

Multi-Country Regulatory Navigation & Operational Compliance

Compliance and Accreditation Services

  • Management and renewal of specific operating licenses
  • Implementation of KYC/AML compliance programs
  • Representation before local authorities and regulators
  • Post-implementation compliance audits and updating of internal policies
  • Lifting of restrictions on the transfer of funds and foreign currency

Compliance is the cornerstone of any successful cross-border operation. Regulatory non-compliance can undo years of strategic effort. We act as your proactive regulatory shield in the EMEA region. Our monitoring and support service ensures that your operations comply with the strictest KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) standards in each country where you operate.

We manage the process of obtaining critical licenses and authorizations, which are often required in cutting-edge sectors (energy, telecoms, payment services), by removing local administrative barriers. Our role is to ensure that your business runs smoothly and legally, allowing your teams to focus exclusively on growth, without being slowed down by the complexity of local processes.

Move from Ambition to Market Leadership

We are ready to assess the complexity of your project and design the optimal structure for your next phase of growth in EMEA.
