An advisory firm for companies entering the Gulf, India, Europe and selected emerging markets, and for a small number of families who want one firm to handle their affairs.

The firm

We take companies into new markets and stay with them until the business stands on its own.

We lead the commercial work ourselves: assessing the market, choosing the distributor or manufacturer, negotiating terms and closing the first contracts. Delivery on the ground runs through partners we have worked with for years.

For families, we handle structuring, residency, banking, property and private access through a single point of contact. We keep that circle small so the work is done properly.

Our partners

The right partner for every mandate.

Each partner already operates in its market and has done this work before. We bring them together and stay accountable for the result.
