01 Who we work with

Four profiles

Built for founders, finance leaders, and funds crossing borders

Scale-ups opening their first overseas entity

Often to hire a team, sign local customers, or be closer to a market — and needing it done right the first time.

Multinationals consolidating a messy footprint

Replacing multiple local vendors with one accountable partner and one consistent standard of service.

Funds and holding groups

Needing clean, compliant special-purpose and holding entities stood up and maintained across countries.

Founders and CFOs, once burned

By a missed filing, a frozen bank account, or a payroll error in a country they’d never operated in before.

02 Where we start

Five questions

The market‑entry study

Before a single document is filed, the real question is whether — and how — you should enter at all. Most expansion mistakes are made in the first month. We close that gap with a study that turns a vague intention into a decision you can defend to your board.

Why this matters

A market entry study is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy. It often changes the plan with a different entity, a better jurisdiction, or a phased entry that delays costs until revenue justifies them. Its cost is insignificant compared to fixing the wrong setup later.

01

Entity options and structure

Which legal form fits your intent — subsidiary, branch, representative office, or a holding-plus-operating structure — and the tax, liability and repatriation implications of each.

02

The regulatory map

Sector licences, foreign-ownership limits, local director or shareholder requirements, minimum capital, and any approvals that gate your activity.

03

True cost and timeline to operate

Not just to incorporate, but to be live: registrations, banking lead times, accounting and audit obligations, and recurring annual compliance cost.

04

Tax exposure

Corporate income tax, VAT or GST, withholding on cross-border payments, transfer-pricing obligations, and the treaty position between your home and target country.

05

People and payroll realities

How employment works locally, employer costs and statutory benefits to budget for, and whether you need an entity at all.

03 What we handle

Six capabilities

Everything a global subsidiary needs, end to end

01

Entity setup and registrations

What it takes to incorporate and become operational, in the right order — the foundation of every cross-border operation, and the step where small errors echo for years.

02

Corporate bank account opening

Tightened AML rules mean banks scrutinise new business accounts heavily. Companies routinely lose weeks — sometimes months — to rejected applications. We shorten that path.

03

Accounting and tax compliance

The books in every country, kept to one consistent standard, on one reporting rhythm, visible through one relationship.

04

Corporate secretarial compliance

The quiet maintenance that keeps an entity in good standing — invisible until a missed filing blocks a raise or a sale.

05

Global payroll

Delivered through our vetted local payroll partners in each jurisdiction, managed entirely by us — you deal with one relationship, not a dozen local providers.

06

Registered agent, director and office

Provided only where it is legally permissible and properly structured — real control and decision-making stays firmly with you.

05 Why Spera

Five reasons

Why companies choose Spera to go global

01

You brief one team. We coordinate every jurisdiction, vendor and deadline behind the scenes.

02

A genuine local expert

We don’t just process forms — we advise on entity, registrations, real cost and timeline.

03

One standard, everywhere

The same quality and reporting rhythm whether the entity sits in Europe, Asia, the Gulf or the Americas.

04

Honest about the hard parts

Banking timelines and local-presence rules — we tell you the inconvenient truth early, when it’s cheap to act on.

05

Built to stay compliant

Set-up is one day; staying compliant is forever. Our model is designed for the years that follow.
