Major Investment Migration Advisory Firms: 2026 Industry Directory

Last updated: 24 April 2026 | Author: Mirabello Consultancy

The investment migration advisory industry has grown significantly over the past decade. For buyers researching the space — and for journalists, academics, and policy researchers tracking it — a neutral reference directory is useful.

This article lists the principal investment migration advisory firms operating globally in 2026. Each entry contains only publicly verifiable facts: headquarters jurisdiction, year founded, service breadth, and any notable licensing or public affiliations. We have made no attempt to rank these firms, to compare them against each other, or to express opinions about their services. Readers evaluating firms for their own cases should use our Buyer's Checklist for Choosing a CBI Advisor as a structured evaluation framework.

Firms are listed alphabetically. Inclusion in this directory is not an endorsement. Omission is not a judgment — the industry includes many specialised firms we have not had space to cover here, and we will expand this directory over time.

How This Directory Is Structured

Each firm is listed with:

• Headquarters — primary jurisdiction of incorporation or principal office
• Founded — publicly stated founding year
• Service focus — core service lines (CBI, RBI, descent-based, corporate, etc.)
• Public affiliations — IMC membership, ACAMS, bar associations, etc., where publicly stated
• Notes — any publicly known context (e.g. specialisation, languages, additional offices)

Where a fact is not publicly verifiable, we have marked it accordingly rather than speculate.

What This Directory Does Not Cover

This is a reference listing of firms operating globally at scale, not an exhaustive map of the industry. Many specialised firms — boutique regional operators, single-programme specialists, and newer entrants — are not listed here. Their absence reflects directory scope, not quality.

Inclusion in this directory does not constitute endorsement. Omission does not constitute criticism. Readers should conduct independent due diligence on any firm they engage.

How to Use This Directory

Researchers, journalists, and buyers may find this list useful as a starting point. If you are a buyer actively selecting an advisor, this directory alone is not a decision tool. It is a map of the landscape, not a guide to which firm is right for you.

Key Takeaways

• The investment migration advisory industry includes firms of very different sizes, jurisdictions, and service profiles. A directory like this is a starting point for research — not a decision tool.
• Jurisdiction of incorporation matters. Firms headquartered in Switzerland, the UK, Canada, the UAE (DIFC/ADGM), and Singapore operate under distinct regulatory frameworks.
• Public memberships and certifications — notably IMC and ACAMS — are verifiable on the issuing bodies' public directories. Buyers should check directly.
• Longevity, office footprint, and published editorial output are not direct measures of quality, but they are signals of scale. Use them alongside the other criteria in our Buyer's Checklist.
• Boutique firms can equal or exceed large firms on quality of service for individual cases. Size is not a proxy for suitability.
