First-Time Offshore Clients
If you've never held assets or operated an entity outside Kenya, advisory gives you a grounded starting point — what offshore actually costs, what it actually achieves, and what questions to ask before signing anything.
Strategic Advisory
Before You Structure, Let's Be Honest About Whether You Should
A Vividcdelta advisory session gives you a frank, documented analysis of your offshore options — with no commitment to proceed unless the numbers make sense.
What a Strategic Advisory Engagement Covers
Our advisory service exists because the offshore industry is full of firms that sell structures first and ask questions later. We reverse that sequence. In an advisory engagement, we spend two to four sessions — typically totalling six to eight hours — mapping your current financial position, your Kenyan tax obligations, your international revenue flows, and your medium-term goals. The output is a written advisory memo: a 10–15 page document that sets out what an offshore structure would and would not achieve for you, which jurisdictions are most relevant, what the annual cost of maintaining a structure would be, and what risks you need to disclose to KRA under current Kenyan tax law. You can take that memo to any other advisor and use it independently of Vividcdelta. That's intentional — it builds the kind of trust that leads to long-term relationships.
Who Typically Benefits from an Advisory Session
Advisory is the right starting point if any of these situations describes you.
Existing Structure Reviews
If you set up an offshore entity five or more years ago, the regulatory landscape may have changed significantly — especially around CRS, FATCA, and Kenyan income tax residency rules. We audit what you have and tell you whether it still works.
Pre-Investment Due Diligence
Before committing to a joint venture, fund, or property investment in a foreign jurisdiction, an advisory session maps the tax and compliance implications on both the entry and the exit — the part most investment promoters skip.
Conflict Resolution
When an existing offshore structure is creating disputes — between co-directors, with a bank, or with a foreign tax authority — we provide an independent assessment of your position and a recommended path forward.
What Advisory Cannot Guarantee
An advisory memo is an expert analysis, not a legal opinion, and it does not constitute tax advice for Kenyan law purposes — for that, you need a certified Kenyan tax consultant, and we'll recommend one if you don't have one. Advisory also cannot predict how a foreign bank or regulator will respond to your specific application — we can tell you the probability and how to optimise the outcome, but we cannot guarantee approvals. Where a situation requires Kenyan legal counsel, we say so clearly and do not overreach our professional scope.
