Company formation by jurisdiction
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
Advisory on regulated licences: MSB in Canada via FINTRAC, VASP, EMI, gaming, brokerage. We prepare the dossier and support the client in the regulator dialogue through to a decision.
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 and its processes. The routine goes — control stays with you.
Turnkey packages
Launch abroad
Formation, a corporate account and initial compliance, prepared to the bank's and regulator's requirements.
Fintech, turnkey
Advisory on an MSB / VASP / EMI licence, AML programme and bank file — one plan that moves in sync.
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
Turnkey, without the extra hassle
One window and one contract: we take the task whole, handle everything on your behalf with our own team and trusted contractors, and you buy the result. From you we need decisions and signatures; we get in touch only when the next step depends on you.
We handle banks and regulators
A bank refusal, a registry query, a regulator's request, a stalled deadline: we answer, rework the file and resubmit at no extra charge for our work until the matter is closed.
We see it through
The partner who opens your project carries it through to the result, even when the process runs for months, and stays on afterwards: renewals, filings, changes to the structure. Where the law requires a licensed professional, we bring one in and remain answerable to you.
A boutique, personally involved
We have worked in international business since 2012. An experienced partner runs your project personally, and unusual structures are our field: where you hear “that can't be done”, we look for the lawful route.
Your affairs stay yours
Information about you, your structure, your beneficial owners and your deals reaches neither competitors nor third parties. Banks, registries and regulators receive exactly what the law or the procedure requires, and the contract says so.
Faster and more precise
We build the file around the specific bank's and regulator's requirements before filing. Experience means we get the work right straight away, where some firms need three attempts. A partner replies in writing within 24 hours.
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. The bank makes the decision.
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.
