VANTRU

What VANTRU does

Vantru is an independent licensed trust and corporate service provider headquartered in Newry, Northern Ireland, with offices in Dublin, Ireland; Hemel Hempstead, UK; and Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands. Founded in 2017 by Rory Mulvaney as Mulvaney Trust Company and rebranded to Vantru in 2023, the firm serves international corporates, capital markets participants (particularly SPVs, securitisation, and structured finance vehicles), and private clients including high-net-worth individuals and family offices across Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, and beyond. It is authorised by Chartered Accountants Ireland with a practising licence and is a member of the Irish Tax Institute, positioning it as the first indigenous independently owned and operated licensed TCSP using Northern Ireland as its back office base.

The firm's service portfolio is organised into five core categories: Corporate and Trust Services (domiciliation, directors, trustee, process agent); Governance Services (incorporation, company secretarial, entity management); Tax and Accounting Services (bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, statutory accounts, tax compliance, FATCA/CRS regulatory reporting); Banking Services (account opening, authorised signatories, cash management); and Legal Compliance Services (AML policies, KYC due diligence, transaction monitoring, outsourced compliance officer and MLRO). Services are delivered by a multidisciplinary team of chartered accountants, chartered tax advisers, chartered company secretaries, and AML/legal compliance professionals with backgrounds spanning Big Four practices, BNY Mellon, A&L Goodbody, and large corporate services providers. No proprietary technology platform is described; services rely on standard professional tools and entity management software.

Vantru operates a B2B professional services model with quote-based, negotiated pricing per engagement. Revenue is generated across six streams — corporate/trust services, accounting and financial reporting, tax compliance, regulatory reporting (FATCA/CRS), banking services, and legal compliance — with no public pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting international businesses, capital markets participants, and private clients through direct relationships, referrals from law firms, accounting firms, investment banks, and fiduciary advisers, and participation in industry events such as Global ABS. The firm is privately held, founder-controlled, and self-funded, with no disclosed external institutional investment or parent company.

Comparable to Vantru's full-service TCSP model but at much broader jurisdictional and headcount scale; sets the competitive benchmark Vantru faces in multi-country mandates.
• Appleby: Offshore law firm and fiduciary services provider with offices in Bermuda, Cayman, BVI, Jersey, Guernsey, and Ireland. Comparable to Vantru for cross-border corporate and trust services, particularly in capital markets and private wealth structuring.
• Maples Group: Cayman-headquartered law firm and global fiduciary/services group offering corporate, trustee, fund administration, and compliance services. Comparable to Vantru's capital markets SPV trustee work, particularly for offshore and cross-border structured finance vehicles.

• Ocorian: Global TCSP and fund administrator providing corporate, trust, fiduciary, accounting, and compliance services across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Directly comparable to Vantru's corporate/trust/governance stack, with broader jurisdiction coverage but a similar mid-market, relationship-led positioning.
• IQ-EQ: Fund administration, fiduciary, and corporate services firm with deep presence in Ireland, Luxembourg, the UK, the Netherlands, and the Channel Islands. Directly comparable to Vantru's combined accounting, tax, SPV administration, and trustee offering, though IQ-EQ operates at significantly larger scale.
