You know what you want, but do you know who - and what - to ask?
matrixLloyd™ aren't yacht brokers. We're not sales-driven. Indeed, we're completely independent from any
yard or yacht brokerage. With newBuild™ from matrixLloyd™, you'll receive all the guidance you need
- from an impartial and trusted source.
Whatever size yacht you're looking to build, it's always much more cost effective to build-in present and
future regulatory compliance from the very start. Oversights at the build stage can require expensive
modifications later. Benefit from our experience and avoid costly mistakes.
matrixLloyd™ will remove all uncertainties, and make the build process a joy from the very beginning.
firstBuy™ is a complete service. Help is provided at all stages.
During the pre-build period, we will:
> Conceal your identity as effectively as possible
> Explore all options for financing*
> Research and implement a suitable ownership structure
> Conduct tank tests and any newResearch™ required
> Shortlist suitable yards
> Tender for the build
> Assess the successful yards' and insurers' financial stability
> Negotiate and agree the build contract
> Research and recommend a suitable registry and classification society
> Review the build specification, taking into account all legal, classification society and security
requirements
> Engage a Project Manager, Build Captain and other key personnel as the project's size and complexity
dictates
Throughout construction, we will:
> Represent the buyer in the yard to ensure that his or her expectations are more than met
> Manage the last-minute procurement of owner-supplied equipment
Following launch, we will:
> Engage a first-class crew with proven work records and references
> Complete and implement the ISM or LY2 safety management system
> Conduct sea trials and oversee defect corrections
> Handle any outstanding warranty issues
*Subject to the relevant statutory restrictions on the provision of insurance and financial services.
Ownership Structures
Well-developed structures are usually desirable, and often essential if the owner is subject to
domestic political uncertainty - or simply wishes his or her private life to remain jut that.
Nowadays, owners' requirements may not be met by the use of an owning company alone. Lifting
the corporate veil is becoming increasingly achievable in a multitude of jurisdictions, exposing
owners to unnecessary legal and fiscal liabilities.
Some countries may seem attractive at first, but may lack the judicial skill and integrity to make
rights enforceable. Finding the best solution requires detailed research, each time, into the most
appropriate jurisdictions and vehicles.
Our view is objective and dispassionate. While we maintain constructive commercial relationships
with key suppliers, we have also preserved the essential element that is the source of our success -
our complete independence.
Accountancy Age magazine has described matrixLloyd™'s advice for owners "gold-plated
guidance".
