Market entry and business establishment

From a practical question to the preparation of a market-entry plan or management processes, a monthly advisory arrangement provides a point of contact for your business. We help organise the business model, local procedures and operations after launch.

Indicative fee: from USD 400 per month. A quotation is prepared according to the scope, frequency and nature of the consultation.

Registration and bank-account opening for a subsidiary, branch or representative office

We begin by identifying foreign-investment restrictions, permits and notification requirements in relation to the business activities, ownership structure and location. We then organise the necessary procedures and support application preparation and processing.

• Business licences issued by YCDC and other relevant authorities
• Alcohol sales licences
• Retail and wholesale licences
• MIC permits and endorsements
• Other sector licences, including microfinance, administered by the responsible ministries

Requirements and the responsible authority are checked against the rules applicable at the time of application and the specific activities of the business.
