Consultancy Services for Sri Lanka investors and Property Buyers
Consultancy Service

Most foreigners who came to Sri Lanka in the past 30 years had to learn their lessons the hard way. There was nobody to tell them about the facts and details that really count. And let's face it: many "know all" foreigners didn't want advice. Well, this attitude rarely pays off in life ...

Today you can benefit from the experiences of many people that once started from scratch.

Get a general or very specific consultation from a man who can share his knowledge and experience of 23 years in Sri Lanka with you. As a consultant he has helped many people over the years and dealt with a wide range of clients from all walks of life. In addition there is a network of specialists that can be incorporated for specific tasks.

Invest small money in consulting to save yourself from serious losses or disappointments.

Some of the topics that are of highest relevance to most clients:

  • Procedures of buying property (contracts, fees, legal situation, advances, importing, exporting and securing your money)
  • How to avoid 100% property tax (all about the various concepts including the off-shore company option)
  • Building and construction - which options do you have? What costs how much?
  • What are the limitations regarding construction at the beach (it all changed after the flood!)?
  • Visa and residency
  • Foreign currency accounts - difficult to get, but not impossible
  • How to start a business in Sri Lanka?
  • Can your business concept be optimised?
  • How to get BOI approval?
  • What to consider when starting a partnership with a local person?
  • Legal constructions for partnerships - how to make sure the family or person you are friends with today will still be your friend tomorrow and has no chance to rip you off.
  • Income tax situation
  • How to find employees, manage and control them?
  • Employment contracts
  • How can I get rid of an employee who lives on my property and claims he has a legal right to stay?
  • Business climate, political situation; mid and longterm expectations
  • Which of the frequently used business practices are illegal - but nobody warned you. The pitfalls of the "no problem promise". Learn where "the thin line" is.
  • What amount of money will you need for your various plans?
  • An insider view on living smoothly in Sri Lanka
  • On bribery: who does it? Spending what amounts for what purpose? And is it necessary at all?

No email consultation

We usually don't provide consultancy by email - our extra time for writing would cost the client more than the connection costs for the phone conversation. Experience tells us that it is a big advantage to be able to add in-depth questions in a phone conversation.
If you need a written expertise on your subject please let us know.

 

Legal Service

Many foreign investors have maneuvered themselves into a very unfortunate legal situation by having signed weak contracts - leading to big trouble and even bigger loss today or in the future. Just ask around among foreign investors or in embassies to hear the stories ...

  • Make sure that you'll be able to use your property as you like and sell it any time without the risk of someone troubling you.
  • Avoid as much of the taxation as legally possible - but don't overdo it (the authorities don't like to be cheated in Sri Lanka, too).

Well, all that needs a solid legal construct with a high level of sophistication.

We are ready to write (and explain to you!) the best possible contracts for your individual situation.


In cooperation with an experienced Sri Lankan lawyer we can provide the final contracts that then can be signed and testified before any Sri Lanka lawyer or notary public.

Cost depend on the case.

Who needs this?

  • Investors before their investment.
  • People who have already invested but would like to strengthen their legal position
