Using Tarmack’s Expertise to Enter New Market Without Legal Entities

In the increasingly competitive market, standing still, strong, and rooted is never an option but a necessity. 

How do you leap into this new market without being bogged down by the intricacies of local bureaucracy and the burden of establishing legal entities? 

Essentially, setting up a new foreign legal entity for an internationally expanding business means establishing a legally recognized company in another country. It involves registering the business with the local government, complying with local laws and regulations, and often includes setting up a local office, hiring employees, and possibly paying taxes in that country. 

It is a crucial step for businesses planning to operate locally rather than merely exporting goods or services, as it allows them to engage in activities like opening bank accounts, signing contracts, and selling directly in the foreign market.

But is it necessary?

The Challenges of Market Expansion

If you are eager to explore a new market without committing to hefty investments or setting up permanent infrastructure, these challenges can act as significant deterrents –

  • Establishing a legal entity in another country is both time-consuming and costly.
  • Each country has unique labor laws, tax obligations, and employee rights that businesses must adhere to, with non-compliance posing significant risks.
  • Efficiently hiring and compensating employees without local expertise can be a daunting task.

Here’s how partnering with us can benefit your business –

1. Legal Entity Not Required

Establishing a new entity in another country typically involves significant expenses for registration, compliance, and maintaining physical offices. On average, setting up a foreign subsidiary can cost $15,000–$20,000 and take 6-12 months or more, depending on the jurisdiction.

We take the burden of navigating complex legal requirements off your chest.

3. Streamlined Hiring

As you work to expand internationally, managing HR functions like drafting employment contracts, processing payroll, and administering employee benefits becomes increasingly complex and time-consuming.

With us by your side, however, you can offload these responsibilities. We will ensures all employment contracts comply with local labor laws, streamline payroll processes to ensure employees are paid accurately and on time, and handle the intricacies of benefits administration.

This means your internal team can redirect their time and energy from tedious administrative duties to more strategic initiatives, such as developing new product lines, exploring innovative market opportunities, or enhancing customer experiences.  

4. Risk Mitigation

We reduce the risk of legal complications for your business by thoroughly ensuring compliance with local labor laws and tax obligations.
