Sectors wherethe border is the hard part.
We are not generalists by preference. We concentrate where regulation, capital intensity or physical footprint make international operations genuinely difficult — because that is where structural mistakes compound rather than resolve themselves.

Four questions that cross every sector.
The industries differ. The underlying decisions rarely do — and getting them in the wrong order is what makes international expansion expensive.
- 01
Where does the entity belong?
Jurisdiction affects tax, treaty access, investor appetite, banking, and how straightforward an eventual sale will be. The cheapest incorporation is rarely the right one, and the answer differs by sector: an IP-heavy software group and a capital-intensive energy project should not end up with the same structure.
- 02
What does the regulator actually require?
Licensing, substance, reporting and beneficial-ownership rules vary sharply between markets and change more often than most companies track. We map the obligations that apply to your sector before you commit, not after a regulator raises them.
- 03
What is this market really worth to you?
Revenue potential is the easy half. Cost to serve, working-capital drag, local pricing pressure, currency exposure and the management attention required frequently turn an attractive market into a marginal one. We model the whole picture.
- 04
Who runs it, and how do you know it is working?
Distance erodes control. Delegated authorities, reporting lines and a small set of metrics that reach the board unfiltered are what separate a managed international operation from a hopeful one.
