One party accountable for your whole case
Our mission is to help people achieve real freedom in an increasingly complex world. That is why we consider citizenship, residency, tax, companies, and asset protection together, and connect them into one solution with local legal teams.
Trusted by 200+ clients from 15+ countries
Why we do this
We spent years living and doing business in different countries across continents, looking for more freedom. We learned firsthand how complex it is to handle residency, tax, companies, and banking on your own, and how difficult it is to find people who truly understand the connections across jurisdictions. We founded Hacking Lives to connect these steps, make them simpler, and coordinate them as one solution.
How we work with clients
We will tell you straight what makes sense and what does not. Client satisfaction comes first for us.
We handle the whole process
You do not have to coordinate anything. You get clear instructions on what we need from you, and coordination with the legal teams is on us.
We start with your life
We start from how you live, how you earn, and what you plan for the future. We respect each client's individual needs.
We keep our word
We deliver what we promise. If there is a risk that something will not work, we walk you through the risks before the final payment.
Discretion
We share case details only with the people needed to deliver it. We publish nothing without your consent.
A setup that lasts
We build structures that will still make sense years from now. We carefully choose the jurisdictions and legal entities we offer in our portfolio.
The scope is clear up front
Before we start, you know what the price covers, what is charged separately, and at what point the service ends.
