FAQs
Expanding into new markets can feel complex, but we’re here to make the process clear and straightforward. Our FAQ section answers the most common questions about who we are, what we do, and how we support businesses in achieving global growth. Whether you’re exploring sales outsourcing, market research, or full-scale business localization, you’ll find the guidance you need right here.
We guide you step by step: market research, compliance checks, company setup, sales activation, and ongoing monitoring. At each stage you receive structured data — demand forecasts, competitor benchmarks, regulatory requirements, and cost models. This information allows you to choose the right entry path, set realistic budgets, and adjust timelines. SOTIS executes the work locally so you can make high-level decisions backed by concrete evidence.
We analyze your product, budget, and long-term goals against local market realities. You receive comparative models of exports, distributor agreements, joint ventures, acquisitions, and subsidiaries — each showing costs, risks, and control levels. With this, you can decide on a low-risk entry or a full-scale investment. SOTIS then implements the model you select.
We calculate the total addressable market, segment demand, and benchmark pricing and competitor share. The result is a 12–24 month revenue projection with conservative and ambitious scenarios. This enables you to judge whether the market matches your growth goals and investor expectations. Our forecasts give you a realistic picture of the opportunity before any capital is deployed.
Instead of immediate heavy investment, we launch a pilot entry using SOTIS account managers and controlled marketing. You see early data on buyer response, lead conversion, and distributor interest. This allows you to validate demand and decide whether to scale, pivot, or hold. It’s a structured way to prove the market before committing to infrastructure.
We define KPIs across three phases. At 90 days, you receive lead reports and partner meetings, at 180 days, signed contracts and an active sales pipeline, and at 360 days, recurring revenue and brand traction. This clear timeline gives you measurable benchmarks to track success and manage expectations internally. Our dashboard ensures visibility at every stage.
Every country has product-specific requirements, from safety approvals to sector permits. We deliver a compliance checklist with timelines, fees, and authorities involved. This enables you to budget accurately and avoid shipment delays or legal penalties. SOTIS manages the full application process to keep you market-ready.
Many countries require at least one local director, agent, or signatory. We identify these requirements upfront and provide compliant local managers or nominees. This ensures your entity is valid and operational without unnecessary delays. You can decide early on the governance structure that fits your risk tolerance.
In regulated sectors — such as electronics, medical, or food products — a local representative is often mandatory. We act as your official representative, ensuring compliance and managing warranty or recall responsibilities. This protects you legally while giving buyers confidence that support is local and reliable.
Yes, in most markets, tax registration is required before issuing invoices. We identify which registrations apply and complete the filings. You receive clear guidance on thresholds, timing, and reporting duties. This allows you to start selling without risking penalties or interruptions.
The choice depends on liability, taxation, and long-term goals. We provide a comparative model of each option, outlining setup time, costs, and governance implications. This lets you weigh flexibility against control and decide the right structure. Once chosen, SOTIS sets up the entity end-to-end.
Most jurisdictions require a registered office and, in some cases, officers like directors or a secretary. We provide compliant office addresses and local officers if needed. This ensures your company can legally operate and meet filing obligations. You avoid administrative bottlenecks and stay focused on business development.
Incorporation usually takes 2–6 weeks; bank accounts often take longer due to KYC and compliance checks. We map out the exact steps, expected costs, and timelines. This allows you to plan your cash flow and operational start date with certainty. SOTIS manages the paperwork and coordinates directly with banks.
Most markets enforce strict privacy laws similar to GDPR. We review your operations, website, and contracts, then deliver a compliance report with required changes. This ensures you avoid fines and build trust with buyers who care about data security. You gain confidence that your digital footprint is lawful from launch.
We assist in opening accounts with local banks or fintech platforms. You get access to multi-currency facilities and FX tools. This allows you to manage transactions smoothly and protect your margins against exchange volatility. SOTIS also introduces hedging solutions where needed.
Buyers and regulators often require proof of specific insurance. We provide a list of mandatory and recommended policies for your sector and market. With this, you can budget and arrange cover in advance. SOTIS brokers local insurance packages so you’re covered from day one.
We register your trademarks and patents locally or regionally and monitor for infringements. You receive regular reports on IP status and potential risks. This enables you to enforce your rights quickly and avoid brand dilution. Our network of legal partners provides enforcement if needed.
We prepare three models: lean entry, balanced growth, and full-scale build-out. Each shows expected setup costs, monthly operations, and ROI timelines. You can choose the model that fits your risk appetite. We recommend a 10–15% contingency buffer to absorb unforeseen costs.
After incorporation, we help run daily operations: sales teams, compliance management, office support, and representation with buyers or regulators. You can choose to keep SOTIS as your ongoing outsourced partner or transition gradually to your own team. This flexibility allows you to operate immediately without waiting for full in-house capacity.
