Expand from Other regions to APAC
Expansion across Asia-Pacific runs through our partner network and is confirmed country by country. Markets differ widely, so we start by narrowing where to go first.
What to evaluate for APAC
- Which APAC countries to enter first, and in what order
- What partner coverage is available for your sector in each country
- Whether to run the region from one hub or set up country by country
- Language, channel and hiring expectations that differ between markets
Starting from what you already have
Wherever you're starting from, we begin with your current team, entity and customers. We begin with your current set-up in Other regions: your team, entity, customers and partners. Then we map what needs to exist in APAC, and what can stay where it is.
- Local presence: when you need people or an entity on the ground
- Employment: hiring directly or through a partner
- Operations: payroll, HR and compliance coordination
- Commercial access: channels, partners and first customers

How companies usually do it.
This is the landscape, not a recommendation. Which approach fits depends on your product, timing and risk appetite. That's what we work out together.
Hire through an employer of record (EOR)
- Good when
- You want people on the ground before committing to an entity.
- Trade-off
- Less control over some employment terms, and costs grow with the team.
Set up a local entity
- Good when
- You plan a long-term presence and a larger team.
- Trade-off
- Takes longer and needs ongoing compliance and accounting.
Work through distributors or partners
- Good when
- You want market access quickly with less fixed cost.
- Trade-off
- You share margin and have less direct contact with customers.
Validate remotely first
- Good when
- You're still testing demand and positioning.
- Trade-off
- Some customers expect a local presence before they buy.
