Foundation & Entity Structuring
Structured entity formation and operational readiness for Web3
Establishing the right legal and operational structure is one of the most critical decisions a Web3 project will make. The entity framework selected at inception directly affects how capital is raised, how tokens are issued, how governance is enforced, and how regulatory risk is managed over time. Mugen supports Web3 initiatives by designing and implementing compliant, scalable entity structures across leading jurisdictions, with a core focus on the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and other strategic locations.
Our approach goes beyond incorporation. We work with founders, boards, and advisers to design regulator-aware structures that support real-world execution. This includes foundations for protocol stewardship, operating companies for development and commercial activity, and multi-entity frameworks that respect regulatory separation requirements while enabling effective collaboration between entities.
Launch your project with confidence
Mugen operates across the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, supporting international organizations with the establishment of Cayman foundations and BVI operating subsidiaries. These structures are widely used by Web3 projects seeking a clear separation between protocol governance, development activity, and commercial operations, while remaining aligned with global compliance standards.
We coordinate closely with registered office providers, legal counsel, and corporate service partners to ensure each entity is established correctly, documented thoroughly, and operationally ready from day one. Our role is to manage complexity across stakeholders and jurisdictions, reducing friction for founding teams while ensuring that regulatory, governance, and operational requirements are addressed holistically.
Where appropriate, we also advise on complementary European structures, including Cyprus entities and access to the Cyprus IP Box regime. For projects with significant intellectual property, R&D activity, or EU-facing operations, a Cyprus structure can provide a compliant and efficient framework for holding and commercializing IP alongside offshore foundation or operating entities.
In addition to Cayman, BVI, and Cyprus, Mugen can support entity setup in other strategic jurisdictions such as the United Arab Emirates, Panama, and others, depending on a project’s regulatory exposure, operational footprint, and long-term growth objectives. This jurisdiction-agnostic approach allows us to design structures that are fit for purpose today while remaining adaptable as the project scales globally.
Core areas of support
Legal entity formation
We establish foundations, operating companies, and multi-entity structures aligned with regulatory and operational requirements across jurisdictions.
Operational frameworks
We design entity-level operating procedures and workflows that translate legal structures into day-to-day execution, ensuring teams can operate effectively from launch.
Local service coordination
We act as the coordination layer between the project and banks, registered agents, auditors, and advisers, simplifying setup and ongoing compliance.
Scalability planning
We structure entities to support fundraising, token launches, ecosystem growth, and cross-border expansion without introducing unnecessary complexity or bottlenecks.
Built for compliance, designed for scale
By embedding governance discipline and operational clarity from inception, Mugen helps projects avoid common pitfalls such as misaligned entities, unclear accountability, and regulatory exposure. Our structures are designed to support fundraising, ecosystem development, and long-term sustainability while remaining flexible enough to adapt as the project evolves.
Key outcomes include:
- Legally compliant entities across leading jurisdictions
- Governance and operational frameworks embedded from day one
- Seamless coordination with local and international service providers
- Structures engineered for cross-border growth and future expansion
This is not just about incorporation. It is about building an entity and operating foundation that allows Web3 projects to execute, grow, and adapt with confidence in a global regulatory environment.
