Without adequate professional help, doing business in another country can be a frustrating and expensive experience. Of the many benefits mentioned by satisfied clients of Integrita member firms, the most important one of all is that they appreciate the professional, prompt and personable service commitment that they received from member firms, both locally and globally. They are confident that their corporate needs are well-looked after.

Managing a business in today’s market and economic environment is challenging and ever changing. Businesses may be at a point where their organization and operation should be more economical, effective and efficient to keep up with the competition.

All our members are vetted at the outset and on an ongoing basis to ensure they hold appropriate certifications by their local professional bodies. Our member firms are therefore suitably qualified to offer clients a full multi-disciplinary service wherever they may operate.

Integrita member firms are able to supply an informed briefing on what you need to know - from the political background to the commercial environment. They are better able to understand and manage cultural differences, unfamiliar business customs, potential problems and the obscurities of the economic environment in an unknown country your business plans to venture into.

Whether you intend to trade in another country, set up a business, or require professional help you have access to localised expertise. Whatever combination of services you need can be provided, including the establishment of corporate structures or legal entities necessary to meet the commercial needs of a new operation, taking into account international tax implications. Our member firms are able to arrange introductions to suitable professionals in other sectors of business such as bankers, investment specialists, patent agents, stock brokers etc, thus saving time, removing uncertainties and avoiding obstacles.

Are you having difficulty servicing your clients beyond your market area? Would you like to expand into new service areas? Can you use help to obtain greater market share?
