Market Access Solutions
Foreign Direct Investment services for market and efficiency seeking investors and inward
investment agencies looking to attract investment.
We have capabilities across EMEA and advise clients on how to access some of the more
challenging developing economies in Africa and CIS. We advise on developing trends in FDI,
which locations are under-subscribed or gaining in prominence and which are considered
pioneering destinations for investment.
For foreign direct investors - whether considering investments as a means to gain access
to resources, reduce costs, or enjoy growth in new markets, we guide corporates through the
foreign direct investment process - initial investment vehicle assessment, potential M&A
targets, business and operating climate and regulation, business incorporation, tax structure,
turn-key market entry solutions, greenfield / brownfield options, site selection and due
diligence.
For investment promotion agencies and regional / national governments - with our track
record of advising the private sector on global location strategy, we are uniquely positioned
to assist public sector inward investment bodies seeking to develop and refine strategies for
attracting foreign direct investment.
Our services include:
- Location benchmarking: assessing competitive advantages/disadvantages of a location
against competing destinations
- Investor targeting: matching a location’s competencies to the appropriate target
industries, functions and ultimately companies
- Information & marketing resources: correctly identifying and articulating the
market message and how to get the message across to the target market through appropriate
channels (internet, articles, dialogue with industry peers, visits to corporate executives
etc.)
- Investor support services: by bridging the understanding and cultural divide between
the development authority and investor, we advise on how development agencies can better
understand their target market and thereby implement best practice policies and frameworks to
attract, retain and support FDI. Support services range from providing a one-stop shop for
administrative requests, permits and applications; to efficient handling process for
information requests; to providing accurate topographic maps; to providing dedicated project
resources from project inception to completion to aftercare.
