    Situation

    The client had been approached by two Gulf investors interested in the business and wanted to clean up his structure ahead of a funding conversation. His Zambian entity had informal shareholder arrangements that would not survive investor due diligence. He wanted a UAE holding company with clean documentation that could issue shares to investors.

    What We Did

    We advised on a UAE free zone holding structure and coordinated with his Lusaka accountant to make sure the shareholder agreements at both levels were consistent. We prepared the UAE MOA with the investor-ready share structure he needed and introduced him to a UAE legal firm for the investment agreements. We also prepared a clean company profile for his investor pitch.

    Outcome

    UAE holding entity formed with clean shareholder structure. First investor meeting held within 3 weeks of license issuance. Client is currently in active negotiations with a Dubai-based family office.
