Strategic Advisory Services
A&C Unternehmensdienstleistungen helps investment managers, private equity sponsors, real estate syndicators, and companies with multiple entities manage the structures behind their operations. From planning an entity portfolio to maintaining good standing across jurisdictions, we bring corporate governance, statutory compliance, and ongoing entity administration into one coordinated approach.
What are our advisory services?
As an organization grows, each new entity, investment vehicle, state registration, and governance obligation adds another layer to manage. A&C works with leadership teams to assess those layers, plan the right administrative framework, and address gaps before they disrupt transactions or day-to-day operations.
Our advisory services are designed for organizations whose entity structure or geographic footprint has outgrown a simple filing-by-filing approach. You may need support if you are:
- Launching a fund, SPV, holding company, or new U.S. venture.
- Expanding operations or investments into additional states.
- Managing a portfolio of entities with different filing dates and governance requirements.
- Establishing a U.S. presence for an overseas manager or investment structure.
- Preparing for a financing, acquisition, restructuring, or institutional transaction.
- Seeking independent governance or trustee representation for a defined structure.
Who we serve
We work with teams whose entities, jurisdictions, and governance responsibilities require coordinated oversight.
Investment managers and private equity sponsors
Fund entities, portfolio structures, governance arrangements, and independent oversight needs.
Commercial real estate syndicators
Property-specific entities, holding structures, and compliance across investment portfolios.
Cross-border managers and joint ventures
U.S. entity setup and administration coordinated with international operations.
Multi-entity operating companies
Subsidiaries, franchises, locations, and registrations across multiple states.
Structured finance and trust participants
Statutory and independent trustee arrangements for eligible transactions and structures.
Our work spans five connected areas
Cross-border fund and entity structuring
For non-U.S. managers, joint ventures, and offshore funds establishing a U.S. presence, we help coordinate entity setup, registered office requirements, and domestic administration. We also support planning around U.S. tax elections in coordination with the client's tax advisers and offshore fund administrators.
Fund governance and fiduciary oversight
Working with senior fund governance professionals, we support independent director arrangements, advisory committee representation, conflict reviews, and valuation committee governance. The objective is to give investment managers a clear framework for oversight and decision-making.
Corporate hygiene and portfolio governance
We review multi-tier entity portfolios for missed or upcoming annual reports, franchise tax filings, gaps in registered agent coverage, operating agreement issues, and good standing concerns. We then help prioritize the work needed to bring the portfolio's records and obligations into order.
Statutory and independent trustee services
We support resident statutory trustee and independent trustee arrangements for Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), structured finance vehicles, securitization programs, and private trust structures. Where the engagement requires independent representation, we assess the applicable role, residency requirements, and potential conflicts before accepting an appointment.
Entity lifecycle and structural architecture
We advise on entity formation, domestication, and foreign qualification across all 50 states, including frequently used jurisdictions such as Delaware, Wyoming, and Texas. We help clients plan and administer special purpose vehicles (SPVs), holding company structures, series LLCs, and entities operating across state lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need advisory support if we already have a registered agent?
A registered agent receives official notices for an entity in a jurisdiction. Advisory support addresses the broader picture: how entities are structured, where they must register, which filings are due, whether they remain in good standing, and how governance responsibilities are documented.
Can you help if our entities are already formed?
Yes. We can review an existing portfolio, identify compliance or governance gaps, and help organize the steps needed to address them. A new formation is not required.
Do you work with entities in multiple states?
Yes. We support formation, foreign qualification, registered agent coverage, and ongoing entity compliance across all 50 U.S. states.
Can you advise a non-U.S. manager entering the United States?
We can support the U.S. entity and administrative aspects of the structure, including formation, registered office requirements, and coordination with your legal, tax, and offshore administration teams. Tax and legal advice should be provided by the appropriate licensed advisers.
What does a corporate hygiene review cover?
The scope depends on your portfolio. It may include entity status, annual reports, franchise tax filing obligations, registered agent coverage, operating agreements, and records needed to support good standing across jurisdictions.
Do you provide independent director or trustee services for every transaction?
These roles depend on the structure, governing documents, applicable requirements, and the availability of a suitable independent professional. We review the proposed appointment and its responsibilities before confirming an engagement.
