Tailored Structuring for a Healthcare Group in Nigeria

Client Overview

Two non-Nigerian investors recently established a healthcare group in Nigeria. They were looking for a tax-efficient, flexible structure to accommodate future investors, including those interested in select group activities rather than the entire venture. They also wanted a structure that provided asset protection and facilitated a tax-efficient transfer of assets to heirs.

Specialist Services Used:

Goals

  • Create a tax-efficient structure adaptable for potential new investors, including those who may choose to invest only in specific activities.
  • Establish a structure that supports joint ventures while ensuring asset protection
  •  Ensure the structure allows for efficient asset transfer to heirs.

Our Recommendations

We worked closely with the investors to develop a tailored structure that achieved their objectives.

01.

Established an offshore holding company in Mauritius to optimise tax efficiency and enhance asset protection. Set up a trust to safeguard assets and streamline inheritance processes.

02.

Created separate entities to isolate specific business areas and joint ventures, ensuring flexibility for future investors.

03.

Implemented formalised funding channels for transparent, structured capital flow into Nigerian operations.

Outcomes (To Date)

The healthcare group adopted a simplified version of our proposed structure to balance implementation costs and objectives. This approach improved tax efficiency, safeguarded shareholder interests, and created a strong foundation for welcoming new investors.
