Incorporate Your Company Globally

Establishing a local entity in a foreign market enhances credibility with customers, regulators, and financial institutions while enabling direct invoicing, hiring, and contract execution under local law. It improves tax structuring, regulatory compliance, and market access, reduces operational risk, and signals long-term commitment - strengthening partnerships and supporting sustainable regional growth.

From a tax optimization perspective, a local entity allows a business to access domestic tax treaties, reduced withholding tax rates, and available incentives such as tax holidays or investment credits. It also enables structured transfer pricing and deductible local expenses.

For example, incorporating in Dubai may reduce regional withholding taxes and provide access to corporate tax exemptions and 0% - 9% corporate income tax.

From a risk management perspective, a local entity ring-fences liability by separating foreign operations from the parent company. This limits exposure to local lawsuits, regulatory penalties, contractual disputes, and employment claims. It also ensures compliance with local licensing, labor, and industry regulations, reducing enforcement or shutdown risk.

For example, establishing a subsidiary in Indonesia for manufacturing protects the parent company from direct liability arising from product defects, labor disputes, or environmental claims under Indonesian law.

From a compliance perspective, a local entity enables a business to operate within the host country's legal and regulatory framework - such as licensing, tax registration, employment law, data protection, and industry-specific approvals. It reduces the risk of operating through improper structures that could trigger penalties, back taxes, or forced cessation of activities.

For example, in Indonesia, certain sectors require a locally registered company and specific licenses under the Foreign Business Act. Establishing a compliant Indonesian entity ensures lawful operations, proper VAT registration, and eligibility to hire local employees.
