What we assess in this area

At the incorporation stage, choices regarding company type, partnership structure, and governance model have long-term consequences. We consider both regulatory compliance and operational flexibility when making these decisions.

During periods of growth, partnership balances, management authorities, and decision-making mechanisms should be reassessed. Shareholder agreements and internal regulations play a critical role at this stage.

In group companies and holding structures, clearly defining affiliation, representation, and liability relationships is essential for both governance and compliance.
