Services
Company Formation
We incorporate across 50+ jurisdictions — federal Canada, DMCC and JAFZA free zones in the UAE, Estonian OÜs. We build the structure around your banking from day one.
Banking & Treasury
Corporate accounts at top banks, multi-currency, FX and treasury. We carry you through the bank's compliance and connect you to the payment rails — PSP, SWIFT, local clearing.
Tax & Accounting
Cross-border structuring, transfer pricing, double-tax treaties. We keep the books monthly and file on time — CIT, VAT/GST, CRS.
Compliance & AML
We build AML/KYC programs to FINTRAC, HMRC and DFSA requirements. Regulatory reporting, transaction monitoring, the MLRO role. We take compliance off your plate entirely.
Licensing
Regulated licences: MSB in Canada via FINTRAC, VASP, EMI, gaming, brokerage. We prepare the dossier and carry it through the regulator to issuance.
Immigration
Founder visas, investor residency, UAE golden visas, work routes. We align the company and the corporate account behind the status — residency that holds.
Restructuring & Wind-down
Group restructuring, holding consolidation, voluntary liquidation, complex wind-downs. We close the structure cleanly — no loose ends in the registries or with the tax office.
AI Automation
AI for bookkeeping, reporting, reconciliation and document processing. We build it into your back office, not on top of it. The routine goes — control stays with you.
Turnkey packages
Launch abroad
Formation, a corporate account and first-pass compliance — a structure that works on the first attempt. Not a folder of documents.
Fintech, turnkey
MSB / VASP / EMI licensing, the AML programme and the banking to match — one stack that moves in step.
Holding & tax
Holding structure, tax planning and accounting — a structure that holds up to an investor's eye and due diligence.
Business relocation
Restructuring, redomiciliation, immigration and banking — we move the business, the IP and the residency cleanly.
Industries
SaaS operating stack
Software and AI companies assemble a global stack of entities: IP in a separate holding, treaty positioning for royalties, ESOP for investors. IP-leakage risk is closed off by the structure. R&D spend is recaptured wherever the regime allows.

Why INNOVA
One desk — the whole cycle
Formation, banking, tax, compliance, immigration — the entire path is run by one team under one named partner. Not a chain of contractors each nodding at the next. One desk, one standard.
14 years across changing rules
Since 2012 we have been through several regulatory cycles: FATCA and CRS, tightening bank compliance, the UAE 9% corporate tax introduced in 2023. Rules change. We have been here before.
A named partner, not a manager rotation
One partner and a direct desk line for the whole project, a 24-hour SLA across all eight practices. No handoff to a shared pool. No “your manager has changed.”
Documentation for investors and regulators
Everything we produce stands up to investor and regulator review — one audit trail under FINTRAC, HMRC and DFSA. The standard is the same: for a two-person startup and for a fund with $2bn AUM alike.
A network, not a referral chain
50+ jurisdictions across six regions — local representation and partners talk to each other directly, no intermediaries. Your question does not get lost at the seam.
The cost of getting it wrong
Bank rejection
One compliance rejection lodges in acquirer and correspondent-bank databases — the next bank sees the flag before you even apply. You open the account from scratch, payments stall, contracts slip their deadlines. One link breaks and the whole chain stops.
INNOVA: We build the file to the specific bank's risk policy up front — KYC, source of funds, beneficiary structure. Approved on the first pass.
Wrong jurisdiction
You register “wherever it's easiest” — then hit a wall on banking, lose on tax and move the structure from zero. Economic Substance isn't covered, CRS discloses what shouldn't have been disclosed. Double the cost and a year gone.
INNOVA: We match the jurisdiction to your model and cash flows — tax residency, banking, substance worked out in advance. A structure you won't have to rebuild.
Compliance done wrong
A licensing file with gaps the regulator won't read through — FINTRAC, DFSA, HMRC send the package back for re-filing. Months in the queue, fees paid twice, launch frozen. A loop instead of a result.
INNOVA: We assemble the package to the regulator's standard — AML program, policies, reporting in place. It clears the review instead of going in circles.
Incorporation without substance
A company “on paper” with no real presence — and at the first audit the tax authority strips the preferential rate and back-charges the tax. Economic Substance is tested against the office, the director, the expenses. An empty shell won't hold.
INNOVA: We build substance that holds the benefits — office, local director, reporting to the jurisdiction's requirements.
Cheaper is what it costs when it's done once and done right. Start with the jurisdiction finder, or take the project straight to an INNOVA partner.
