Subsidiary set-up

Challenges encountered

Establishing a subsidiary abroad often presents significant challenges: complex regulations, cultural and linguistic differences, administrative, logistical, and accounting management. You likely have several important questions:

How long time does it take to establish your subsidiary?
What legal structure best aligns with your needs and governance approach?
Which bank should you choose, and what documents are required for KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures?
What procedures are required for setting up accounting and tax requirements (chart of accounts, reporting structure and frequency, tax timeline)?

Our solutions

Market research and analysis of your business model

At a preliminary meeting, we will explore your strategic objectives and growth projections for the creation of your subsidiary. This allows us to determine how this entity will be leveraged (local billing, recruitment, local support only, or establishment of a sales team, etc.).

Choosing your legal structure

The choice often depends on several factors such as organizational configuration, governance, limited liability, incorporation costs, taxes, etc.

After analyzing your business model, Expandys will propose, in consultation with you, the legal structure most suitable for your situation and governance model.
