01

We source life and critical illness cover from international providers — typically denominated in dollars or sterling — to ensure your family is protected regardless of what happens to local currencies. Policies are structured to sit outside your estate for maximum tax efficiency.

Cover from $250,000 to $10M+. International providers. Dollar-denominated.
 

02

Your ability to earn is your most valuable asset. Income protection insurance ensures that if illness or injury prevents you from working, your lifestyle and financial commitments are maintained. We source policies from international providers with strong claims records.

Up to 75% of income. Benefit periods to age 65. Offshore providers.
 

03

For business owners, the loss of a key individual can be catastrophic. We arrange keyman cover that protects your company, funds buy-sell agreements, and ensures business continuity. Shareholder protection ensures that in the event of death or disability, remaining shareholders can acquire the departing partner’s shares without financial strain.

Business-owned or personal. Linked to shareholder and buy-sell agreements.
 

04

Estate law across African jurisdictions, combined with cross-border asset holdings, creates complexity that most families underestimate. We work with specialist estate attorneys to draft wills and establish trust structures that ensure your assets pass to the right people, in the right way, with minimal tax leakage and no probate delays.

African wills, powers of attorney, trust structures. Local and cross-border.
 

05

For families with significant wealth, offshore trusts remain one of the most powerful tools for asset protection, tax planning, and intergenerational transfer. We advise on trust structures in Jersey, Guernsey, Mauritius, and South Africa — selecting the jurisdiction that best fits your circumstances.

Discretionary, fixed-interest, and purpose trusts. Protector roles advised.
