Specialist International Planning for Your Clients
Your client remains your client. Dragoni works alongside independent accountants to provide specialist UK–EU corporate, trust and international structuring capability when a client's requirements extend beyond the firm's normal remit.
A specialist capability when you need one
Where appropriate, we coordinate the professional and international resources required to assess and implement a bespoke cross-border arrangement.
Feasibility & Modelling
Initial commercial review, anonymous assessment and case-specific financial modelling.
Professional Coordination
Access to UK Tax Counsel, Cyprus corporate infrastructure, trustees and specialist advisers where required.
Implementation & Support
Coordination of implementation and continuing administration alongside the incumbent accountant.
How the agency model works
The commercial and legal arrangements should reflect the functions, assets, risks and actual conduct of the parties—not merely the contractual documentation.
UK Business
Commercial activity continues.
UK Company
Operates under an agreed agency arrangement.
Agency Agreement
Defines functions, responsibilities and commercially supportable remuneration.
Cyprus Company
Acts as the EU principal within the international structure.
Typical circumstances
- Established owner-managed businesses with substantial recurring profits
- International or EU expansion
- Greater corporate and operational flexibility
- Retention and deployment of business profits
- Succession, wealth or future exit planning
- Legitimate opportunities for greater fiscal efficiency
Commerciality first. Compliance throughout.
- Commercial substance and business rationale
- Corporate residence and management & control
- Permanent-establishment considerations
- Transfer pricing / arm's-length remuneration
- CFC and relevant UK anti-avoidance provisions
- Reporting, disclosure and ongoing compliance
Have one client in mind?
Test the proposition without identifying them.
Provide us with a few anonymous headline facts. We can undertake an initial high-level assessment and, where appropriate, prepare an illustrative comparison before you disclose the identity of your client.
No recommendation. No commitment. No client identity required.
A conversation between professionals
At this stage, we are not asking you to recommend anything to a client. We are inviting you to understand the model sufficiently well to decide whether it is a capability worth having available.
Initial Discussion
Anonymous if preferred.
Preliminary Assessment
Establish whether investigation is worthwhile.
Financial Modelling
Illustrate potential outcomes using real figures.
Joint Client Meeting
Only when you are comfortable progressing.
Technical Due Diligence
Professional analysis, risks and implementation requirements.
Implementation & Support
Continuing support alongside existing advisers.
You know your client. We know our specialist area.
