Most firms in this market begin at the paperwork — they ask what you want registered, and register it. That transfers every judgement call, and every consequence, back to you. UnionSPACE begins one step earlier.
A shareholding split chosen for convenience becomes a tax liability three years later.
A visa category chosen for speed quietly disqualifies a founder from holding the directorship the bank requires.
An entity registered in the wrong jurisdiction turns a routine export into a licensing problem.
We advise first and implement second — and we do not implement anything we haven't advised on.
Four stages, one accountable advisor. You are never handed off to a third party you've never met, and never left to coordinate four vendors yourself.
We start with your commercial objective, not your paperwork. Where the revenue comes from, who holds the equity, who needs to be on the ground, and what happens at exit. The structure follows from the answers.
A written recommendation: the structure and jurisdiction, the alternatives we considered, the trade-offs, the compliance you inherit, and the honest risks. In plain language, in your language.
Once you've decided, our licensed local teams execute — incorporation, permits, filings, applications. No third party you've never met, no coordinating four vendors yourself.
Compliance is a calendar, not an event. We hold it: filings, renewals, permit expiries, regulatory change. Your advisor stays the same person across all of it.
We give the advice, then we implement it. There is no gap for a recommendation to fail in, and no one to blame it on.
Advice about Vietnamese labour law written in London is theory. Ours is written by people who filed something in Hanoi this week.
We give the advice, then we implement it. There is no gap for a recommendation to fail in, and no one to blame it on.
Across 18 years and 25,000 businesses, few situations are genuinely novel. What feels like a crisis to a client is usually a known pattern to an advisor who has handled it forty times.
If your intended structure won't survive contact with the regulator, we'll tell you before you fund it — including when the honest answer is that this market isn't right for you yet.
Held together across immigration, structure, tax and trade — in nine markets at once, by one advisor who knows your business without a re-brief.
Getting your people into the market legally, and keeping them there.
"I need a work permit to run my company — but I need the company to get the work permit. Where does this actually start?"
The decisions you make once, and live with for a decade.
"We were advised to use a local nominee shareholder. Is that actually safe?"
A recommendation on whether to enter — not only how.
"Two consultants gave us two different answers on whether we can own 100% of this. Who's right?"
Advisory for goods that have to cross a border and clear it.
"Our product is registered at home. What does it take to bring it in here — and how long, really?"
A scoped session with a senior advisor on a specific decision. You leave with a written recommendation and a clear view of your options — for when one question needs answering properly before you commit capital.
A full advisory mandate — feasibility, structure design, immigration strategy and implementation roadmap — followed by execution through our licensed local teams. One accountable advisor, from decision through to operation.
Ongoing counsel: compliance-calendar management, regulatory monitoring, restructuring as you grow, and a named advisor who knows your business without a re-brief.

Regulators are dealt with in their own language, and so are you.
Both, in that order. We advise first and implement second, and we do not implement anything we haven't advised on. The distinction changes who carries the judgement: a services firm does what you instruct; an advisor tells you what to instruct.
Coordination and cross-border judgement. Your counsel answers legal questions within one jurisdiction; your accountant answers fiscal ones. We hold the commercial decision across immigration, structure, tax and trade in nine markets at once — working alongside your existing advisors, not around them.
Regularly. "Not yet" and "not this jurisdiction" are among our most common recommendations — and they save clients more money than anything else we do.
Yes. A significant share of our work is remediation and restructuring for companies set up cheaply and quickly by someone else.
Book an advisory consultation with a senior UnionSPACE advisor. If the honest answer is "not yet," you'll hear that too — before you fund it.
