How a US-based mining company keeps 35+ African entities compliant, at 30% below the cost of doing it in-house
The company needed a partner to manage its entities in Africa year after year, without hiring a team of its own and without losing sight of the work. Kalexius now handles all routine corporate secretarial work for these entities, along with one-off events.
THE SITUATION
The company, headquartered in the US, operates through more than 35 entities across 14 African jurisdictions. Each entity has its own annual obligations: filings, meetings, registers and local requirements that vary from one country to the next.
The company wanted a partner to handle this work every year. It was looking for a cost-effective alternative to hiring permanent in-house staff, as long as its legal team kept full visibility of the work being done.
It also had an entity management platform in place, and did not want to move its data or change how its teams worked.
WHAT WE FOUND
- One team across two offices. We set up a dedicated team working from our US and Mauritius offices, to cover the company’s requirements both onshore and offshore.
- One compliance calendar for every entity. Using our internal knowledge base of local requirements, the team built a compliance calendar covering every obligation in each of the company’s African jurisdictions.
- No change of platform. At the company’s request, we worked in its existing entity management platform and kept it up to date, so its teams saw no disruption.
- Ongoing corporate secretarial work. We handle the routine work for every entity each year, along with one-off events such as director changes or incorporations.
RESULTS
- 35+ entities kept compliant, year after year, across 14 African jurisdictions.
- 30% below historical in-house costs, as confirmed by the client.
- Local teams involved. Country managers and local legal teams take an active part in keeping their entities compliant, working from the same calendar.
- No disruption. The company kept its own entity management platform, with its data kept up to date by our team.
