Expanding into a new market, done in the right order

Guiding your international strategy

As a company grows beyond its home market it needs an advisor who has actually set up operations abroad. We help US entrepreneurs expand into Europe, Asia and Latin America, and companies from those regions establish a presence in the United States. The work is practical: which entity, in which state or country, with which registrations, bank accounts, contracts and reporting obligations, and in what sequence.

What business expansion advisory is

Every ambitious company needs a function that understands the target market and makes sure the business is positioned correctly for cross-border growth. Business expansion advisory covers market entry strategy, the structure of international operations, and the coordination of the practical frameworks required to establish a compliant presence abroad: registrations, governance, accounting set-up, banking and the people who will run it.

Why it matters

Entering a new market without the groundwork is where costly missteps happen: an entity that cannot open a bank account, a structure that does not fit the tax and reporting rules of the new country, contracts that are not enforceable where the customers are. Many companies do not have the internal capacity to work through an unfamiliar business environment, or simply want an experienced outside view. We take that work off your executive team so they can focus on product and revenue.

Establishing best practice for global scaling

The requirements for a successful international operation have become more demanding. A company can have an excellent product and still need a precise roadmap to deploy it abroad. We help you build the operational frameworks and the partner relationships that a clean market entry requires, and we make sure each step is documented so that it stands up to the scrutiny of banks, regulators and future investors.

Understanding market entry strategies

We do not only execute the plan, we make sure you understand the strategic and regulatory nuances of the new market. Our experience spans sectors from technology to manufacturing and services, and jurisdictions on four continents. Whatever the scope of your plan, we can guide it.
