Let's talk about what you're actually trying to achieve
Whether you're starting from scratch or reviewing an existing structure, a direct conversation is the fastest way to understand your options.
How the first conversation works
When you reach out to Swiftdterra, you won't get a generic brochure or a call from a junior associate who hasn't read your message. Your initial enquiry is read by a senior adviser who will come back to you within one business day — usually sooner — with either a direct answer or a request for the specific information needed to give you one. If the situation is straightforward, we can often scope an engagement by email. If it's more complex, we'll schedule a 45-minute call to make sure we understand the full picture before making any recommendations. There's no charge for the initial conversation. We believe you should have a clear sense of what working with us looks like before any money changes hands. Confidentiality is maintained from the first message: everything you share with us before an engagement is formally in place is treated with the same discretion as client information.
Reach us directly
We are available by phone Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:00 EAT. Email is monitored throughout the day and on Saturday mornings.

Common questions before getting in touch
Is offshore investment legal for Kenyan residents?
Yes. Kenyan residents may hold assets offshore provided they comply with Central Bank of Kenya foreign-exchange regulations and disclose foreign holdings as required by Kenyan tax law. The structures Swiftdterra designs are built to meet these requirements from inception — not as an afterthought.
What's the minimum asset level you work with?
Our structuring engagements are most cost-effective for clients with offshore or offshored-ready assets of KSh 15,000,000 (approximately USD 100,000) or more. Below this level, the ongoing compliance costs of a formal offshore structure often outweigh the benefits, and we will tell you so honestly.
Do you work with clients outside Kenya?
Our primary client base is in Kenya — Malindi, Mombasa, Nairobi, and the coast region. We also work with East African clients in Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda where the cross-border dimension of a structure requires it. We do not have active practices in West Africa or Southern Africa at this time.
How long does a typical structuring engagement take?
From initial assessment to a fully incorporated and bank-documented structure, most engagements run between three and six months. The variables are jurisdiction processing times, bank onboarding speed, and the complexity of your existing asset picture. We provide a project timeline estimate at the end of the scoping phase.
Are your fees disclosed upfront?
Yes. After the initial conversation, we provide a written engagement letter specifying the scope of work and the fixed fee or retainer. There are no hourly billing surprises and no fees tied to the size of assets placed — our compensation does not create an incentive to recommend structures you don't need.
