Three stages. You can stop after any of them, and the fee for each is known before the work begins.
Every engagement opens the same way. Before any recommendation is made, we establish what your position actually is: the entities you hold and how they relate, where you are resident and on what basis, what has been filed and what has not, and where the current arrangement creates exposure or leaves value unclaimed.
This is deliberately not a consultation. It is a piece of work with a deliverable, undertaken at a fixed fee agreed in writing before it begins, and it produces a written memorandum you keep whether or not you engage us further.
Where the review recommends action, Stage 02 implements it. The scope and the fee are set from the review, at the point where the work required is actually known, rather than estimated in advance of the facts.
Implementation covers the structure itself and everything it triggers: incorporation or amendment, registrations, filings, and the coordination with registries, notaries, banks and advisors in other jurisdictions. It also covers the written record of why each decision was taken, which is the part that matters when the position is examined years later by people who were not in the room.
Most positions do not fail because they were badly designed. They fail because they were correct on the day they were built and nobody revisited them as the business changed, the family changed, or the law changed.
Stewardship is an annual retainer against that. The position is monitored against amendments to the law and against changes in your own circumstances, conditions attached to any regime or incentive are checked on a written schedule, and you are told when something affects you rather than discovering it at the next review.
Sint Maarten obligations require us to establish who you are, where the assets involved originate, and who ultimately benefits from any entity in scope, before we take on the work. This is completed through a secure digital intake and is followed by an engagement letter that formalises the relationship.
A fixed fee, a written deliverable, and no obligation to proceed to the stages that follow.
