Practice area

Market expansion

A second site, a European entity, a new line — we map the tax, cash and reporting consequences before the first invoice leaves the building.

What we take on

Expansion without a month-six surprise

We model the entity, the VAT position, the people costs and the cash lag. Then we write the operating calendar so the new line does not land on an already stretched close.

  • Entity choice and cross-border tax
  • VAT, permanent establishment and transfer pricing basics
  • Working-capital for a new site or SKU
  • Group reporting from day one

The work

Before the lease is signed

01

Name the move

Territory, channel or product. We write down the decision and the date it has to be taken.

02

Cost the lag

Cash, VAT and people. Expansion fails in the working capital, not in the slide.

03

Choose the vehicle

Branch, subsidiary, partnership. Mira’s desk owns the tax; Elena owns the operating calendar.

04

Open the books

Chart of accounts, close dates and a pack the group can read in month one.

A second site that waited

We paused an opening that would have doubled rent before the first site had a stable contribution. Six months later the group expanded on a model the bank would fund.
