MONTCLARE
CAPITAL PARTNERS
We help entrepreneurs, family groups and institutions across Africa establish a genuine, bankable presence in the Netherlands and the wider EU — structures built on real substance, not letterboxes.
We coordinate the Dutch BV or holding and the genuine substance behind it — registered office, governance, and source-of-funds and beneficial-ownership documentation — so your structure stands up to the bank onboarding and counterparty due diligence European institutions apply.
We structure Dutch and EU holdings that draw on the Netherlands' extensive bilateral tax-treaty network and EU directives to help manage withholding tax on cross-border flows, with the participation exemption applied to qualifying dividends and capital gains where the conditions are met.
We help you diversify into European real estate and asset portfolios and hold them within robust holding structures — supporting families and institutions seeking to preserve wealth beyond home-market currency and concentration risk.
We connect your European project to the right capital, banks and lenders and prepare the structure and documentation cross-border financing requires — Montclare coordinating and introducing the parties, not acting as the lender.
A West African energy-services group buying European equipment and contracting with international operators kept failing bank onboarding — payments were routed through personal accounts and third countries, and counterparties questioned the structure.
Built a Dutch procurement and contracting platform above the African operating companies; prepared a full source-of-funds and UBO file; coordinated banking introductions and real substance — office, directorship, accounting — so the platform could withstand enhanced due diligence.
The group now contracts and pays European suppliers from a bankable Dutch entity, passes counterparty KYC, and holds a platform ready for treaty-efficient expansion of its European business.
