Expanding globally offers immense opportunities but also presents complex challenges. Companies venturing into international markets must navigate intricate regulatory landscapes, optimize their corporate structures, and ensure robust compliance frameworks.
In 2025, cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) rose 14% to $443 billion, though still below the average of the last decade. With deals increasingly shifting to regional markets amid tighter regulations and geopolitical tensions, the demand for structured corporate planning and compliance expertise has never been greater.
This is where Encor steps in, delivering tailored structuring and compliance solutions that enable companies to operate confidently and strategically worldwide.
The Growing Demand for Global Structuring and Compliance Solutions
The global corporate structuring and compliance market continues to expand rapidly. According to the 2025 Global Trust and Corporate Services Report, the market was valued at USD 14.33 billion, reflecting a 5.0% growth from the previous year. This surge is fueled by increasing international investments, complex regulatory changes, and the rise of multi-jurisdiction corporate structures.
For companies entering new markets, missteps in structuring or compliance can result in costly penalties, reputational damage, or operational delays. Encor’s global structuring solutions provide a robust framework to mitigate these risks while optimizing business growth strategies.
Comprehensive Corporate Structuring Services
Encor offers a suite of services designed to address the diverse needs of companies worldwide:
Offshore Structuring
Strategically located offshore entities provide operational flexibility, tax efficiency, and asset protection. offshore structures remain widely used by multinational companies for purposes such as cross-border investments, trade facilitation, and asset management. Encor helps clients establish entities in jurisdictions that align with their business objectives while ensuring full compliance with local regulations.
SPV Structuring Services
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) are critical tools for isolating financial risk and facilitating specific investment projects. Encor ensures SPVs are structured to meet regulatory standards while achieving strategic business objectives. For example, a technology company recently used Encor’s SPV structuring services to fund an Asia-Pacific expansion, enabling risk segregation and smooth investment flows across three countries.
Family Office Structuring
Family offices are increasingly moving towards sophisticated investment strategies. A 2025 survey shows that 47% of family offices have diversified into multi-jurisdiction investment portfolios. Encor provides tailored family office structuring services, including governance frameworks, regulatory compliance, and cross-border investment strategies, allowing families to manage wealth efficiently across generations.
Cross-Border Investment Structuring
With global M&A activity expected to reach USD 4.5 trillion in 2025, proper cross-border investment structuring is critical. Encor guides companies through legal, tax, and operational frameworks to optimize international expansion. Services include setting up subsidiaries, WFOEs, joint ventures, and corporate structures suitable for specific markets.
Tailored Compliance Solutions for Every Market

- Tailored compliance services for international operations
- End-to-end corporate compliance solutions across multiple jurisdictions
