Question 1

What does the 25-minute consultation include?

Accepted Answer

A structured conversation about your plans: what's ready, what's missing, and what to do first. No slides, no obligation.

Question 2

What kind of companies do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Financial, technology, trade, and manufacturing companies with real cross-border needs — from first market research to licensing to growth.

Question 3

Do you provide legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. We are a consultancy, not a law firm. We structure, prepare, and coordinate — and work alongside your lawyers where formal legal advice is required.

Question 4

Should we do market research before setting up an entity?

Accepted Answer

Almost always yes. The right entity in the wrong market is an expensive lesson. Research first, structure second, commit third.

Question 5

Why is opening a bank account so hard, and how do you help?

Accepted Answer

Banks onboard structures they understand. We translate your business model, fund flows, and controls into documentation banks can evaluate — then prepare you for the questions that follow.

Question 6

Which markets do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Our core work connects mainland China with international markets. Beyond that, we support expansion into Southeast Asia and other major markets through our partner network.

Question 7

Does our business need a license?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what you actually do, not what you call it. We map your activities to regulated-activity definitions and tell you plainly: license required, exemption available, or no license needed.

Question 8

How long does a license application take?

Accepted Answer

It varies by regime. A money service operator licence typically takes four to six months; securities licences vary with complexity. What we control is preparation quality — incomplete applications are the main cause of delay.

Question 9

What is AI governance, and why now?

Accepted Answer

If your business uses AI in decisions, products, or operations, regulators and partners will ask how it is controlled. AI governance is the policy, accountability, and evidence framework that answers them — before they ask.

Question 10

What happens after we get the license?

Accepted Answer

The license is the beginning, not the end. Ongoing obligations — returns, audits, AML controls, training — are where most firms struggle. Our fractional advisory exists for exactly this stage.

Question 11

How is cross-border marketing different from local marketing?

Accepted Answer

Trust has to be rebuilt from zero: new channels, new references, new language — and in regulated industries, new rules about what you may say. We build marketing that respects all four.

Question 12

Do you execute, or only advise?

Accepted Answer

Both, in that order. Strategy without execution is a deck; execution without strategy is noise. We define the strategy with you, then run the content and communication systems that carry it.
