Jaltech - Venture Capital Company Advisory

Jaltech has developed a niche in the South African market in assisting companies, family offices and wealth managers with forming, structuring and administering Section 12J Venture Capital Companies (VCC) as well as fund raising for VCCs.

Jaltech’s extensive professional team (comprising of actuaries, accountants, fund managers, an attorney, a full time risk officer and numerous administration support and sales staff) is well resourced to assist clients interested in forming a VCC or who already have a VCC and require administration, structuring and/or fund raising services.

Jaltech’s VCC Advisory Services

VCC Formation And Structuring Services

Jaltech has developed an extensive suite of Section 12J compliant legal agreements, policy documents and processes, drafted and approved by leading law firms. This means that Jaltech has the necessary legal framework in place, which will allow the VCC to have multiple share classes thereby permitting investors to have exposure to a specific investment or multiple investments made by the VCC.

The ideal structure will ensure that the VCC is able to achieve the client’s objectives whilst simultaneously maximizing tax efficiency for the client and potential investors in the VCC.

Once the client selects the ideal structure, Jaltech will assist with preparing and submitting the VCC application to the Financial Services Conduct Authority (FSCA), the South African Revenue Services and the Financial Intelligent Centre, for the registration of the VCC.

This process (depending on the relevant institutions listed above) can take anywhere between 60 to 90 days.

During the registration process, Jaltech’s team will prepare the necessary documentation in order to ensure that the VCC remains compliant, these include (but are not limited to):

• 21 operational registers• 9 policies• Standard Operating Procedures such as how to deal with record keeping, fit and proper requirements etc• FAIS compliant forms
