Week 9-10
Asset Transfer
Capital contribution, property strategies, and investment account setup.
Capital contribution, property strategies, and investment account setup.
With the DBS corporate account now active and funded, Week 9-10 focuses on completing the asset consolidation strategy. This involves finalizing UK property sales, determining Australian and Nigerian property strategies, establishing investment accounts, and formalizing the capital contribution structure.
The UK property listing must begin in Week 1-2 to ensure sale proceeds are available during this window. Typical timeline: Week 1-2 listing → Week 9-10 completion → Week 10-11 transfer to DBS Singapore.
The UK property sale should reach completion in Week 9-10 if listed in Week 1-2. Key milestones:
Week 9: Exchange of Contracts
Legally binding moment - both parties sign contracts, buyer pays 10% deposit. Completion date set (usually 1-2 weeks after exchange).
Week 10: Completion Day
Buyer's funds transfer to solicitor, keys released, property legally transfers. Net proceeds (after fees) transferred to Biodun's HSBC UK account within 24 hours.
Week 10-11: Transfer to DBS Singapore
Proceeds transferred from HSBC UK to DBS Singapore using Phase 3-4 of the phased transfer strategy (as outlined in Week 5-8 Banking Setup).
If the London property was NOT Biodun's primary residence, CGT may be due on gains above the annual exempt amount (£6,000 for 2024/25). CGT must be calculated and paid within 60 days of completion. Funds for CGT must be set aside BEFORE transferring to Singapore.
Recommended: Retain in Layo's Personal Name
Transferring the property to the Singapore company would trigger Australian stamp duty (4-5.5% of property value), capital gains tax, and foreign entity surcharges - potentially $50,000-100,000+ in costs.
Strategy:
Recommended: Maintain Individual Ownership
Nigerian law prohibits foreign companies from directly owning land. The Land Use Act vests all land in each state Governor, and a Singapore-incorporated company cannot directly hold Nigerian land title.
Strategy:
With liquid capital in the DBS corporate account, the company requires investment accounts to deploy capital into growth assets.
Why Saxo:
Fees: ~0.08-0.15% per trade, no annual platform fee for corporate accounts
Account Opening Process:
Recommended: Equity Injection (Share Capital Contribution)
When Biodun transfers UK property sale proceeds to Ayeni Heritage Holdings, the funds should be structured as equity injection (not shareholder loan) to align with estate planning goals.
