Services

Five services cover an investor's entire legal perimeter — from registration to day-to-day operations.

01

Turnkey business setup

  • Registration of an LLP, branch or representative office
  • BIN, digital signature, bank account
  • Registration with state authorities

The company is registered and ready to operate: account opened, documents in hand.

02

Immigration support

  • Foreign workforce permits
  • Visas and residence permits for staff
  • Status for owners and their family members

Staff and owners are legalised: permits, visas and registration formalised.

03

M&A and due diligence

  • Target review when acquiring a business
  • Deal structuring and documentation
  • Antimonopoly clearance

The deal is structured: target risks identified, clearances obtained.

04

Investment transactions

  • Investment and corporate agreements
  • Registration with the AIFC
  • Legalisation and apostille of documents

Investments are documented: agreements signed, documents legalised for Kazakhstan.

05

Ongoing support

  • Contract work and claims
  • Currency control
  • Representation before state authorities

Day-to-day operations under legal control — one firm for the entire perimeter.

Service selection for this practice is also available on the SmartInvest.kz portal — we are the platform's legal back office.

FAQ

Can a company be opened remotely?

Yes. Most registration steps are done under power of attorney; for the digital signature and bank account we organise the process and tell you in advance where personal presence is required.

Do you work with the AIFC?

Yes: company registration, contracts under AIFC law, and transaction support within the centre's jurisdiction.

Do you support after launch?

Yes. Ongoing support — contracts, currency control, representation — as a separate stage or on retainer.

What does a consultation cost?

The initial review is short and fixed-price. Stage pricing is stated upfront and depends on document volume and complexity.

Disclaimer. Our conclusions and consultations are issued solely on the basis of documents you provide, are strictly advisory, and do not guarantee decisions of state authorities or courts. We accept no liability for consequences of decisions made on the basis of our recommendations.
