Yes. We coordinate international trademark filing strategy through the Madrid System or direct national filings where appropriate, depending on target markets, class coverage, product use, manufacturing locations, distributor risks and commercial priorities.

Why should trademark filing be planned early?

Trademark filing should ideally be considered before product launch, fundraising, marketing investment, distributor engagement, e-commerce launch, franchising, licensing, or international expansion. Early planning can reduce brand conflict risk and improve long-term portfolio control.

Can Jenga assist with trademark disputes?

We support practical dispute coordination, including document organisation, preliminary risk assessment, trademark lawyer liaison, marketplace issue coordination, and business-side brand protection planning. Formal legal action is handled by qualified trademark lawyers.

Can Jenga help with CRS and FATCA classification?

Yes. We help clients organise CRS / FATCA classification, self-certification forms, controlling person information, tax residency details, financial institution or non-financial entity status, and reporting coordination where applicable.

Who usually needs CRS / FATCA support?

Funds, family offices, investment holding entities, trusts, foundations, financial institutions and cross-border structures often need CRS / FATCA review because banks and financial institutions may require proper classification and self-certification before onboarding or reporting.

Why does CRS / FATCA matter for bank onboarding?

Banks and financial institutions often require entity classification, controlling person details, tax residency information and self-certifications before opening or maintaining accounts. Incomplete or inconsistent CRS / FATCA information can delay onboarding.

How does Jenga usually start a new engagement?

We usually begin with a consultation to understand the client's business model, ownership structure, jurisdiction needs, regulatory exposure, tax and accounting position, banking requirements, mobility needs and operational goals. We then propose a scope, timeline, document checklist and execution roadmap.

Can Jenga provide a fixed quotation?

For standard services, we can usually provide a fixed or package-based quotation. For complex cross-border, regulated, fund, family office, IPO, tax planning or token-related projects, pricing may depend on scope, complexity, jurisdictions involved, external advisor requirements and ongoing support needs.

Does Jenga work with external lawyers, auditors and tax advisors?

Yes. Many complex matters require qualified professionals. Jenga coordinates with lawyers, auditors, tax advisors, fund administrators, valuation experts, regulatory consultants, banks and other ecosystem partners where specialist advice or regulated work is required.

Does Jenga guarantee approval for bank accounts, work passes, licences or tax incentives?

No. Final approval always depends on the relevant bank, authority, regulator, government agency or third-party institution. Jenga helps clients prepare, position, coordinate and manage the process professionally, but we cannot guarantee approval outcomes.

Can Jenga support ongoing operations after setup?

Yes. After setup, we can continue supporting corporate secretary, accounting, tax, payroll, HR, work passes, bank coordination, fund or family office administration, regulatory filings, CRS / FATCA, trademark renewals and broader compliance management.
