Our process
Crystal Tax works in five stages, from a free 30-minute intro consultation through written analysis, a roadmap, implementation, and ongoing support. You pay only for the stages you choose, and you can stop after any one of them. Every engagement starts by understanding your situation before any structure is proposed — we design custom corporate structures for each client.
Book a free 30-minute consultationFive steps from first question to a working structure
We design a structure around your business. Each stage produces a concrete deliverable, and you decide whether to continue. Many founders act on the intro call alone.

Why this order
Planning before registering is the single biggest cost saver. A well-designed roadmap prevents an expensive restructuring later, and the written analysis makes sure the money spent on registration goes to the right jurisdiction the first time. You keep control at each checkpoint and only spend on the next stage once the previous one has proven its value.

How much does the first consultation cost?
The 30-minute intro consultation is free. An optional extended strategic session, for a deeper look at a single scenario, is €100 / 30 min.
Can I stop after the consultation?
Yes. You pay only for the stages you choose, and many founders act on the intro call alone.
How long does the whole process take?
Written analysis takes 5–7 business days and the roadmap 7–14. Implementation depends on the jurisdictions involved, typically 2 to 8 weeks.
Who will I be working with?
Maksim Stepanenko, managing partner at Crystal Tax, and the wider team. The founder leads the strategic consultations.
Do you only design the structure, or also implement it?
Both. You can stop at the blueprint and execute it yourself, or we carry it through registration, banking, and ongoing accounting.
What should I prepare for the intro call?
What you sell, to whom, and from where; your approximate revenue; your current structure; and your goals for the next few years.
