A global business advisory team made up of operational, marketing, legal, regulatory compliance and accountancy specialists.
Acting as executive-level strategic partners to our clients, we provide straightforward, actionable and efficient solutions to navigate the ever-changing and high-stakes business environment.
You concentrate on growing your business while we minimize your risks (whether they relate to operations, people, finances or regulatory compliance).
Our value is forged by the experiences of starting our own small (cash-strapped and overworked) businesses, family offices and funds - all operated within Asia and regularly dealing with counterparties from North America, Europe, India and the Middle East. Some of these projects failed. Some of these projects succeeded. Every one of them was an important lesson.
So, we are well-positioned to provide solutions tailored to your business size, industry, the expectations of your country or region’s regulators, your ideal customer type(s) and your investors. After all, a strategy for helping a Web 3.0 project backed by institutional money has to be different from a strategy to help a Web 2.0 business looking to grow organically with angel financing. Customising the right strategy for you is our basic commitment.
We start from the conviction that even the costliest of past mistakes can be repurposed into creative revenue generating ideas. With the goal of creatively responding to situations that may be out of your immediate control, we always seek solutions that serve more than one purpose. For example:
Governance record-keeping and compliance should rationalise daily activity but also serve marketing functions.
Registrations and licences should reduce regulatory risk but also provide a clear path to business growth.
Legal contracts should protect a business but also attract investors.
Negotiations with service providers should get you good service at reasonable cost but also expand your business networks.
Employee training should reduce misbehaviour but also set out clear incentives for performance.
Employee misbehaviour and mistakes or mistakes should have clear consequences but also be another step towards improving regulatory compliance.
We work alongside you to overcome the challenges of:
Scaling a business (whether start-ups or SMEs).
Starting or growing a fund (private equity funds, hedge funds and lending funds).
Launching new product lines.
Expanding into new jurisdictions.
Designing robust procedures and processes to support a business.
Implementing training programs, especially as a firm’s size grows.
Executing change management plans.
Sourcing for and building the right service provider network to support a scaling business.
