Ten sections in the order most families actually work through them, each with tick-boxes and the questions to put to your advisers. Built from the same reference material as this site.

1. 01Purpose, scope and governance — the one-page mandate everything follows from
2. 02Legal structure — fund vehicle, management company, trusts and VCCs
3. 03Licensing position — documenting the single family office exemption
4. 04Tax incentives — the 13O and 13U schemes and their conditions
5. 05Banking, custody and execution — source-of-wealth documentation that works
6. 06People and substance — investment professionals, passes and office space
7. 07Compliance and AML — the framework banks will test
8. 08Reporting, systems and data — consolidating across custodians
9. 09Insurance and risk — the covers families forget
10. 10Timeline and sequencing — a realistic six-to-twelve-month plan
