Gaming Company Package

Wilton is proud to announce the formation of a collection of services which can be brought together to form a cohesive set of services to assist Gaming Companies to build their business in their chosen field. Each service is separate and can be picked on in case of need and when the time is right.

Come to a firm which can offer the set of services you need.

Licence Application – Before you start you will need to apply to the regulators in the appropriate jurisdiction to operate a company in this area. Wilton can help with the application and also will ensure that you can give the appropriate undertakings to the authorities.

Personal Tax – wherever you live you may find that some of your assets come under UK tax law. If you live or are domiciled in the UK your tax affairs are dependant on your worldwide income and capital gains whether they are remitted back to the UK or not. In addition many countries offer tax breaks and incentives for investment in small companies. Benefit from these also.

Group Structure Advice – any group that trades in different countries will find that there may be opportunities and advantages from a group structure that makes use of the international tax treaties. A group structure that is designed around the trading locations can pay significantly less tax overall.

Company Formation – Wilton is pleased to form companies as required and in any legal jurisdiction. Wilton has offices in London, Isle of Man and Dublin and has agreements to achieve the same role in places such as BVI, Mauritius and Bahamas.

Directors and Secretaries Role – where it is more convenient or through local laws requiring certain directors should live or be based in a particular country – Wilton can provide the role of Director and Secretaries to the companies.

Companies House Administration - In the UK, all companies (whether they have traded or not) have to complete an annual return and send their accounts to the main records library of UK companies. This is a legal requirement and can result in the company being struck off if not completed in time. Many other countries have similar requirements and so it is necessary to ensure that this role is completed correctly.

Company Secretarial Role - The company secretarial role looks after the preparing of formal board papers, the operation of good corporate governance and the recording of the minutes. It can also include the Companies House Administration role. The tracking of a company’s life from formation to floatation on a recognised stock market is very important and will need to be inspected by the sponsor to the floatation. Make sure this is all in order by getting the professional to do the work for you.

Accounting - The maintenance of the books and records and the preparation of the management accounts can be subcontracted if suitable. Many companies will prefer to keep the book keeping in house but should this be very simple and not involve a full time person – it may be better to subcontract this to a company you can trust.

Share Option Schemes and Employee Benefit Trusts – as soon as you employ others the incentivisation of those members of staff is important. Why not ensure that they give of their best and help build shareholder value for you? The above schemes will help and provide for the retention of key employees.

Trust Ownership of Intellectual Property – the ability of a company to trade successfully always depends on doing something special. If your Unique selling point is based on an idea or process – it can be most useful to retain that in a different company and allow the value of this idea to accrue outside the main trading business. Examples of this are the Virgin group.

Trust Formation and Administration - The ownership of the business may be better held on behalf of others – particularly members of the family. The creation of a trust is a way of ensuring that the company does not have a change of ownership should control pass to a new generation of group. A Trust also will provide for confidentiality, security and exercising of control on assets that you have created.

Private Client Services – The operation of your accounts may be highly inconvenient particularly where it involves moving surplus assets to a different entity. Let Wilton take the pressure off you by keeping all the assets in the right place. Also with our Family Office facility if you need help with anything including finding a party organiser or doctor – Wilton have the facilities to assist.

Marine - When you come to sell the business – it is time to enjoy the benefits of the value you have created. Why not buy a boat and Wilton can advise on the best way to own the asset depending on where you wish to keep it and where you intend to use it.
