What we do, in detail

Four functions, run once for the whole group rather than separately in each business.

Program 01 · Ownership and governance

Group holding

The company holds interests in the group's operating businesses and keeps the corporate side in order: registrations current, records maintained, decisions documented. Unglamorous, and the thing that causes expensive problems when it's neglected.

  • Ongoing
  • Group companies
  • Internal function
  • Not sold externally

Function · Ownership

Interests held and documented.

Function · Registrations

Annual filings kept current.

Function · Records

Decisions and resolutions documented.

Function · Review

Structure reviewed as the group changes.

Function · Calendar

Renewals and deadlines tracked centrally.

Function · Filing

A structure anyone in the group can navigate.

Function · Correspondence

Handled, not accumulated.

Function · Retention

Kept as long as the rules require.

Program 02 · Done once, not five times

Corporate administration

Each business generates the same administrative load, and running it centrally means it actually happens. Renewals tracked before they lapse, records filed where they can be found, and correspondence handled rather than accumulating in an inbox.

Program 03 · Numbers that get read

Planning & reporting

Each company closes its month on a schedule and the group sees a consolidated picture. Budgets are set annually and tracked against, so a problem surfaces in month two rather than at year end when nothing can be done about it.

  • Monthly
  • Group companies
  • Internal function
  • Accountants engaged separately

Function · Negotiation

Terms agreed across the group.

Function · Advisers

Engaged centrally, briefed consistently.

Function · Review

Renewals decided, not defaulted into.

Program 04 · Negotiated once

Suppliers & advisers

Buying as a group gets better terms than five companies buying separately, and keeping contracts in one place means renewals don't roll over unnoticed. Attorneys, accountants and other licensed advisers are engaged and coordinated centrally.
