Expand within APAC
Expansion across Asia-Pacific runs through our partner network and is confirmed country by country. Markets differ widely, so we start by narrowing where to go first.
What to evaluate for APAC
- Which APAC countries to enter first, and in what order
- What partner coverage is available for your sector in each country
- Whether to run the region from one hub or set up country by country
- Language, channel and hiring expectations that differ between markets
Starting from what you already have
Companies based in Asia-Pacific often already run regional teams or suppliers. We start from that footprint. We begin with your current set-up in APAC: your team, entity, customers and partners. Then we map what needs to exist in APAC, and what can stay where it is.
- Local presence: when you need people or an entity on the ground
- Employment: hiring directly or through a partner
- Operations: payroll, HR and compliance coordination
- Commercial access: channels, partners and first customers

How companies usually do it.
This is the landscape, not a recommendation. Which approach fits depends on your product, timing and risk appetite. That's what we work out together.
Hire through an employer of record (EOR)
- Good when
- You want people on the ground before committing to an entity.
- Trade-off
- Less control over some employment terms, and costs grow with the team.
Set up a local entity
- Good when
- You plan a long-term presence and a larger team.
- Trade-off
- Takes longer and needs ongoing compliance and accounting.
Work through distributors or partners
- Good when
- You want market access quickly with less fixed cost.
- Trade-off
- You share margin and have less direct contact with customers.
Validate remotely first
- Good when
- You're still testing demand and positioning.
- Trade-off
- Some customers expect a local presence before they buy.
