Entry Advisory

For companies entering Pakistan

How we approach it

What matters in this work

01

Entry advisory, or setting up a project?

This service is for an overseas company deciding how to be present in Pakistan: branch, liaison office or subsidiary, and what each one means for tax, liability and taking money out. Once that is settled and there is something to build, Setting up a project covers the work of getting it running.

02

The structure decision comes first

Branch, liaison office and wholly-owned subsidiary each carry different tax, liability and repatriation consequences, and changing your mind later is expensive. We model the options against how you actually intend to trade.

03

We have brought international groups in from day one

Work delivered across China, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States means we are used to sitting between a head office that needs its own governance satisfied and a local regulator that has its own requirements.
