You work with the adviser who designs your structure. Not a hand-off
BCA EU is a Luxembourg practice that builds holding and company structures in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The person on your first call is the person who designs the structure, and the same person you speak to when it is reviewed three years later.

Since 2008: structures that have to survive a review
Alexander Baranov has designed and delivered international corporate structures since 2008: company formation, holding platforms, tax structuring and bank readiness for founders and companies crossing borders. The work has covered pharmaceutical projects in Germany, Austria and France, corporate mandates in the Gulf and Asia, and market entry into the EU.
Most of it now lands in Luxembourg and the Netherlands, because for a group with subsidiaries in several EU countries these are the two that answer the question properly. What that experience gives you is not a longer list of countries. It is knowing which structures survive a substance review, and saying early when the answer is a Dutch B.V. rather than the Luxembourg company you asked for.
Registered is not the same as defensible. We build for the day someone checks.

From the first call to a structure that holds
A thirty-minute call
You describe what you own and where the income arises. We say whether this is a job for us, for a local registrar, or for nobody yet.
The structure memo
The ownership chain on one page, every entity and why it is there, the cost to build and to run, and the tests it has to pass.
Formation
Documents, notary, registration, tax numbers and the bank file. We tell you weekly where things really stand.
Substance and a yearly review
Resident directors, local board meetings and books, and a yearly check against the rules that changed.
Is a structure right for you? An honest check
About a third of our first calls end with us saying the structure is not needed. Save yourself the call if any of these apply.
