▸ About this service

What is m&a support in the US?

M&A support is one of 6 parts of our “Restructuring” practice. It covers the full cycle from initial scoping to operational launch, run by a single named partner from our the United States desk.

What it is in the US: structuring work on the buy / sell side. BOI reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act, effective 26.03.2025, is mandatory only for foreign entities registered in the US; US-domestic companies are exempt. You need an EIN before opening an account — don't leave it to the last minute.

▸ In detail

How we handle m&a support

The “M&A support” project in the US is structured as a 4-stage process run by a single named partner.

M&A support, voluntary dissolution, cross-border entity migration, and IP transfers — clean exits and clean moves.

The same desk that runs m&a support handles your banking, bookkeeping, compliance and — where needed — your wind-down.INNOVA · Operating model

Why the United States

The largest market, deep capital, a choice of state (Delaware, Wyoming, Florida), and a straightforward registration process. We use it for operating companies, reaching US investors, and structures built for venture funding.

01 · Advantage

A reliable regulatory environment

BOI reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act, effective 26.03.2025, is mandatory only for foreign entities registered in the US; US-domestic companies are exempt. You need an EIN before opening an account — don't leave it to the last minute.
02 · Advantage

Banking ecosystem

A multi-tier system: Mercury / Brex for technology companies, Tier-1 (JPM, BofA, WF) for established businesses. We know which route is realistic for your profile.
03 · Advantage

Corporate tax 21% federal + state taxes

The real tax position depends on the structure — we model it before registration.

▸ Why us

Why INNOVA

Operational differences that hold up on the 2nd, 5th and 10th project — not just at first impression.

01

One partner — the whole cycle

Registration, banking, tax, compliance, immigration — run by one team from start to finish.

02

14 years of practice

Working since 2012 through several regulatory cycles — including FATCA/CRS, the tightening of banking, and the introduction of UAE CT.

03

Regulator-grade documentation

Every output document is ready for audit and investor scrutiny — whatever the size of the deal.

04

Multi-jurisdiction within the group

Cross-border work is handled inside the group — no chain of external subcontractors.

▸ Engagement formats

Four ways to work together

We don't quote a fixed price without understanding your situation — cost depends on the complexity of your case. Start with a free call, then we pick the right format.

▸ About cost We don't work at dumping rates and we don't publish a fixed price list — every project is scoped individually. The exact price is quoted after the intro call, usually within 24 hours.
▸ Questionnaire

Fill in the questionnaire

Complete the online questionnaire: it creates your account on the portal, where your structure, renewal reminders and documents will live.

▸ INNOVA portal · what you get

Once you submit the questionnaire we create a portal account. Inside: your live structure, a renewals calendar (annual returns, register updates, tax filings), a document vault (certificates, share register, bank letters), a partner chat and project status. A single place for your entire operational life.

▸ Client review

▸ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we're asked most often. If yours isn't here, an intro call is the fastest way to get an answer.

Most “M&A support” projects in the United States run from 2 to 8 weeks start to finish. The fastest stage is document filing; the longest is post-registration onboarding (banking, tax registration). A single named partner runs the project throughout.
