ARCHITECTURE BEFORE ADMINISTRATION
Purpose-built structuring support for sponsors, family offices and cross-border businesses that need the right vehicle, provider pathway and execution plan before formation begins.
Cayman, Delaware and hybrid structuring pathways
Fixed fee scoping before provider engagement
Consulting-led coordination with qualified professional advisers
HKC provides strategic consulting, transaction coordination and operational support. Legal, tax, accounting, investment, brokerage, fund administration and regulated corporate services are provided only by appropriately qualified and licensed professionals engaged for the relevant mandate.
THREE ENGAGEMENT PATHWAYS
Every mandate begins with a defined assessment, then moves into launch support or ongoing operating support based on its scope, complexity and duration.
PAID DIAGNOSTIC
A structured assessment of objectives, readiness, complexity, jurisdictional considerations and required workstreams. The result is a defined execution plan, scope and recommended path forward.
TRANSACTION LAUNCH OFFICE
Coordination of the approved structuring, documentation, advisers, providers, milestones and launch workstreams required to move an initiative from planning into execution.
OUTSOURCED OPERATING OFFICE
Ongoing administration, reporting, task management, stakeholder coordination and execution support for businesses and initiatives requiring a structured operating function.
HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS
Each engagement follows a controlled sequence designed to clarify the mandate, define responsibilities and coordinate execution.
01 — PRELIMINARY INQUIRY
The client submits an initial description of the opportunity, objectives, jurisdiction and support required.
02 — DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT
HKC evaluates readiness, complexity, required workstreams, jurisdictional considerations and the appropriate engagement pathway.
03 — ENGAGEMENT DESIGN
HKC defines the proposed scope, responsibilities, workstreams, sequencing, milestones and fee structure for approval before execution begins.
04 — EXECUTION COORDINATION
HKC coordinates the approved workstreams, advisers, providers, documents, deadlines and stakeholder communications throughout execution.
05 — OPERATING HANDOFF
HKC completes the agreed deliverables, organizes the engagement record and transitions ongoing responsibilities to the client or approved operating providers.
HOW ENGAGEMENT FEES WORK
HKC fees are scoped to the mandate and confirmed in writing before work begins. Depending on the engagement, fees may include a fixed diagnostic fee, a defined project fee or an ongoing operating retainer. Fees charged by attorneys, accountants, administrators and other licensed providers are separate and are paid directly to those providers.
