Global Subsidiary Management

Where do you start with company registration, compliance, and global subsidiary management when doing business in another country? Even when there is no language barrier, the process is time-consuming and every new jurisdiction has different requirements. Using Agile Legal’s global subsidiary management means all these different requirements don’t have to delay earning revenue or put your compliance at risk.

Understanding the
Corporate Transparency Act

As someone with decision-making and legal responsibilities in your company you may well feel at a loss as to where to start when it comes to complying with these new regulations. Agile Legal is here to simplify the compliance process and keep you compliant by managing the whole process of meeting the CTA’s requirements.

In order to be compliant with the CTA’s regulations, you must first determine if any of your entities fall under one of the 23 exemptions. For any non-exempt companies, you then need to report your beneficial owners or employees with substantial control over the business. While you may be hesitant to release your personal identifying information, compliance with these requirements will protect your business from harsh fine and penalties.

Agile Legal’s team of attorneys, certified AML professionals, and senior paralegals have studied the new law extensively. We’ve designed a system so we can keep our clients compliant with the CTA’s regulations.

Where We Can Assist With Global
Subsidiary Management

We have extensive country coverage across the globe

world map

This map shows the countries where Agile Legal currently manages entities. These countries are categorized either as Band A or Band B. These bands are based upon the differing levels of complexity of corporate compliance for entities in those countries.

Band A countries have fewer and less complicated regulations for entities than countries in band B. This often correlates with whether a country has a civil law or a common law legal system. Countries with civil law systems tend to be more bureaucratic and stringent with compliance, requiring more work and expertise.

Global Subsidiary Management

Setting up overseas entities, keeping them in good standing, and managing subsidiaries in multiple countries is time-consuming and stressful. And it only gets worse when you encounter language barriers, excessive bureaucracy, and slow progress on projects that delay revenue generation, jeopardize deals, and threaten good standing. Your subsidiaries should benefit the bottom-line of your business – not sources of stress that squander your time. Our full-service global subsidiary management, with a legal project coordinator as your single point of contact, will save you time, ensure you meet deadlines, and transform a source of stress into a source of confidence. Agile Legal can help manage your existing entities, establish new ones, or even dissolve entities if you are in need of entity rationalization. We can manage your relationship with your current in-country partner or use our network of partners in over 100 different countries to find a new partner if you need to change your service provider. Working with Agile Legal means you can swiftly communicate in a common language and ensure you meet your legal obligations. Our team helps you maintain an efficient corporate structure and good governance and avoid non-compliance penalties and fees. We can also help you manage your data in any entity management software you may be utilizing. When you are managing multiple subsidiaries in multiple countries with different regulations, make sure you have peace of mind about your international holdings.
