Location: United Kingdom

Industry: Tech and innovation

Client objective

Following its acquisition by US-based Fulcrum IT Partners in April 2023, Viadex initiated an ambitious expansion project that would see it establish a presence in at least ten new countries around the world – including Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Japan, New Zealand, the Philippines and Switzerland.

In order to start importing its products in these countries, Viadex wanted entities set up and running within a 12-15-month window, without having to micromanage the process or any challenges that may arise.

They were aware of a number of challenges from the offset, namely; that some of the countries would present significant bureaucratic challenges, their main banking partner, a top tier UK and global bank, did not have a presence in all target countries, and personal travel to each country wasn’t desirable.

As a result, they decided to find a partner who had a presence or network in all of the countries and could establish entities, and provide ongoing services, efficiently at speed.

 

Our solution

With our global offices and extended network of lawyers and accountants, we were able to support Viadex in all the the countries it was targeting.

Critically, we had experience of dealing with the idiosyncrasies of each location, which meant we understood the particular processes that needed to be followed, as well as how to navigate any issues.

As a result, our team was able to provide Viadex with company formation solutions for the ten countries in the original scope, as well as supporting them in additional countries that have since come online.

Across the countries, we offered: company formation (with no travel required); legal registered office address services; domiciliation support; corporate tax and VAT registration; opening a capital/corporate bank account with a high-level banking institution, where required; and settlement of all government formalities and taxes.

In some of the countries where a resident director is required, we were able to provide nominee directors.

The result

  • Single point of contact: Viadex was supported through a dedicated contact at Hawksford, streamlining communication across multiple country expansions.
  • Proactive issue resolution: Any operational or compliance challenges were highlighted early and presented with actionable solutions to make informed decisions saving time and efforts between project managers and countries.
