Institutional Advisors

Exorbitantly high price points, for example, US$15,000+ for a basic setup, over-engineered legal solutions unsuited for rapid SME deployment.

Compliance Managers

Primarily focused on legal and tax compliance and operations, do-as-told and only follow standard procedures. Not in a position to analyze, consult or offer solutions for niche businesses.

Fragmented Specialists

Highly disjointed; requires the foreign entrepreneur to act as their own general contractor, managing multiple disparate vendor relationships simultaneously.

Our Advantage

Through strong observation skills, focused efforts and honest and constructive feedback, we hold companies accountable for their budgets and timelines to drive measurable performance.

No delays, no confusion, no expensive mistakes.

Understanding Cross Culture Nuances

Western business models often clash with a culture that values hierarchy, social harmony and the preservation of “face”. Communication is highly indirect and commercial decisions are heavily relationship-driven.

As your cultural liaison, we assist you to navigate subtle nuances and expectations and interpret business practices to influence real business outcomes.

Bridging the Local Ecosystem

We facilitate access, insight, and collaboration. We connect your business to the trusted partners, networks and opportunities for maximum impact and growth.

We offer strategic alignment amidst the plethora of associations and interest groups, invitations to meaningful closed-door seminars and forums that will increase your networks and strengthen your market positioning.

Trusted Relationships and Honest Communications

It’s important that both our goals and expectations are aligned. From pre-incorporation advisory to on-going compliance alerts and reminders, from fast-track processing to detailed documentation, we always put clients’ interest and well-being in front.

We pride ourselves on crafting and delivering a customized roadmap, clarity of communication and accountability.
