◆ Service line 01 · Globalization
Expand into new markets and run your global subsidiaries without losing a night's sleep over compliance.
We become your local expert in every market you enter, so the regulation becomes our problem and the business stays yours — entity setup, registrations, banking, accounting, tax, secretarial, payroll and local presence, through one relationship.
Markets we're active in
[01]
/
Who we work with
Built for Founders, Finance Leaders, and Funds Crossing Borders
Scale-ups opening their first overseas entity
Often to hire a team, sign local customers, or be closer to a market — and needing it done right the first time.
Multinationals consolidating a messy footprint
Replacing multiple local vendors with one accountable partner and one consistent standard of service.
Funds and holding groups
Needing clean, compliant special-purpose and holding entities stood up and maintained across countries.
Founders and CFOs, once burned
By a missed filing, a frozen bank account, or a payroll error in a country they'd never operated in before.

Where we start
The market-entry study
Before a single document is filed, the real question is whether — and how — you should enter at all. Most expansion mistakes are made in the first month. We close that gap with a study that turns a vague intention into a decision you can defend to your board.
01
Entity options and structure
Which legal form fits your intent — subsidiary, branch, representative office, or a holding-plus-operating structure — and the tax, liability and repatriation implications of each.
02
The regulatory map
Sector licences, foreign-ownership limits, local director or shareholder requirements, minimum capital, and any approvals that gate your activity.
03
True cost and timeline to operate
Not just to incorporate, but to be live: registrations, banking lead times, accounting and audit obligations, and recurring annual compliance cost.
04
Tax exposure
Corporate income tax, VAT or GST, withholding on cross-border payments, transfer-pricing obligations, and the treaty position between your home and target country.
05
People and payroll realities
How employment works locally, employer costs and statutory benefits to budget for, and whether you need an entity at all.
Why this matters
A market entry study is the cheapest insurance you'll buy. It often changes the plan with a different entity, a better jurisdiction, or a phased entry that delays costs until revenue justifies them.
Its cost is insignificant compared to fixing the wrong setup later.

What we handle
Everything a global subsidiary needs, end to end
01
Entity setup and registrations
What it takes to incorporate and become operational, in the right order — the foundation of every cross-border operation, and the step where small errors echo for years.
02
Corporate bank account opening
Tightened AML rules mean banks scrutinise new business accounts heavily. Companies routinely lose weeks — sometimes months — to rejected applications. We shorten that path.
03
Accounting and tax compliance
The books in every country, kept to one consistent standard, on one reporting rhythm, visible through one relationship.
04
Corporate secretarial compliance
The quiet maintenance that keeps an entity in good standing — invisible until a missed filing blocks a raise or a sale.
05
Global payroll
Delivered through our vetted local payroll partners in each jurisdiction, managed entirely by us — you deal with one relationship, not a dozen local providers.
06
Registered agent, director and office
Provided only where it is legally permissible and properly structured — real control and decision-making stays firmly with you.
