A ₹180 crore exit closing fast, and six weeks to have a family office structure ready before the money landed: governance included from day one.
The situation
A founder's technology company was acquired in a deal valued at roughly ₹180 crore, with the payout due to land inside six weeks, before any family office structure existed to receive, govern, or deploy it.
The approach
A family office structure was designed and incorporated end to end: entity structuring, an investment and governance framework, and a compliance calendar for the post-exit wealth, coordinated with the founder's transaction counsel so the structure was ready before the funds were.
The outcome
The payout landed into a structure that was already operational, with governance and compliance running from day one instead of being retrofitted after the fact.
This is the kind of structuring work covered in full on our Family Office page.
The six weeks, broken down
- Week 1: structure decided: an operating LLP to hold and actively manage the post-exit capital, a private trust layered on top for succession, following the same control/succession/tax scoring on our Structure & Vehicle page.
- Weeks 1–3: LLP incorporation and trust deed drafting run in parallel, with the deed's succession terms finalised alongside the founder's own estate documents so the two didn't conflict.
- Weeks 3–5: investment policy statement and governance framework built: who approves what, how new capital gets deployed, and the reporting cadence the founder would see once the payout landed.
- Week 6: bank accounts, KYC, and the compliance calendar live, days before the payout was scheduled to land.
