Answer in brief

The issuer, asset-holding vehicle and platform operator may perform different roles. Counsel should explain why those roles are combined or separated in the proposed structure.[\[1\]](https://besttokenizationlawyerdubai.com/issuer-and-vehicle/#ref-rwa)[\[2\]](https://besttokenizationlawyerdubai.com/issuer-and-vehicle/#ref-victoria)

## Understanding the question

Compare the legal obligations and operating responsibilities allocated to each entity. Follow subscription funds, asset income and [redemption](https://besttokenizationlawyerdubai.com/redemption/) payments. Ask how governance, creditor exposure and service agreements affect the holder. A company chart should be connected to the contracts that make it work.[\[1\]](https://besttokenizationlawyerdubai.com/issuer-and-vehicle/#ref-rwa)[\[2\]](https://besttokenizationlawyerdubai.com/issuer-and-vehicle/#ref-victoria)

## Build the working record

| Consideration | What to establish |
| --- | --- |
| Issuer | Who makes the offer and owes holder obligations? |
| Vehicle | Who holds the asset and controls decisions about it? |
| Operator | Who administers the platform and its customer relationships? |

## Put it into practice

Where the issuer does not own the asset directly, ask [counsel](https://besttokenizationlawyerdubai.com/lawyer-selection/) to identify the agreement that gives it access to the promised cash flows or rights.

**Useful output**: A legal-entity chart with obligations and cash flows labelled.
