Evidence and document review
Our review covers investor and beneficial-owner records, ownership chart, business plan, proposed premises and activity description. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.
Can a foreign investor enter every activity or change ownership freely?
Article 8 of the Investment Law requires prior Ministry approval procedures for investment in listed excluded activities and ownership changes in restricted activities. Check the actual activity and proposed change against the current published list. A general freedom-to-invest statement does not establish eligibility for a particular regulated activity or ownership structure. Identify the investors, ownership chain, proposed activity and operating location. Separate incorporation from investment approval, activity licensing and permission to employ or occupy premises. The proposed ownership structure should be checked against the actual business model before funds are committed.
