Background

The client was referred to ZEDRA in 2016 by the client’s private banker, who had worked with ZEDRA previously. At that time, they required a corporate services provider to help them establish a few investment holding structures.

These entities were intended primarily for the management and consolidation of their growing international assets. The client chose to proceed based on the trusted referral from their banker.

The Challenge

As the client’s business interests expanded across multiple countries, they required support to establish new entities and manage increasingly complex, multi-jurisdictional structures across Asia and established international financial centres.

The client wanted Singapore to serve as their strategic base, coordinating with their trusted local partners, including lawyers and bankers, which meant they needed a Singapore‑based corporate services provider with a strong global footprint.

ZEDRA’s Solution

Since 2016, ZEDRA has supported the client’s Family Office, comprising approximately 10 team members.

As the client’s global wealth and organisational complexity increased, they moved beyond corporate structures and established Trust structures with ZEDRA to meet their long-term succession planning objectives.

Today, ZEDRA provides the following services:

• Corporate & individual directorship
• Company secretarial services
• Accounting and bookkeeping
• Bank account management
• Cross‑jurisdictional coordination
• Multi‑jurisdictional entity management
• Recommendations for suitable legal advisors
• Advice on entity usage and transaction structuring
• Trust administration
• Succession planning

The Outcome

The client views ZEDRA as an extension of their Family Office, relying on the team for guidance across almost every aspect of their global operations.

ZEDRA supports the client with the management of 30+ corporate entities across the following international jurisdictions:

• Singapore
• Malaysia
• British Virgin Islands (BVI)
• Cayman Islands
• Seychelles
• Ireland
• Hong Kong

Why This Matters

Since 2016, the relationship has evolved from corporate services into wealth and legacy solutions, including trust and succession planning.

The client’s long-term reliance on Singapore reflects both the jurisdiction’s stability and their trust in ZEDRA’s capabilities to navigate complexity and pursue their international ambitions with confidence.
