Serving a new country through a local entity, a distributor or cross-border sales, and what to do first, are the open points. This is a feasibility and sequencing assessment, not a market research report. It takes your product, current entity and timeline and sets out the realistic routes with their steps and risks.
Entering a market can involve three separate decisions that are easy to merge into one: who sells, through which legal body, and when to commit fixed costs. A distributor lets you test with little structure and gives up control. Cross-border sales keep your current entity but may hit registration or licensing limits. A local entity gives presence at the price of running it. The assessment shows what each route needs before it works.
Licensing and regulatory questions in the target country are flagged for a local professional; we do not offer local legal, tax or licensing opinions.
The routes that can work for your product, current entity and timeline, and why the others drop out.
What to do first, what to defer and what triggers the next step.
Areas where local rules or licensing may apply, dependency on partners, points for local professionals.
Cost drivers per route, with assumptions. Where a step needs a local professional, LATYNEX can coordinate one on request; that professional is engaged and paid separately.
Suits when: Customers can buy from abroad and the product is not subject to tight local rules. Main trade-off: Customers or authorities may expect local presence.
Suits when: You want to test demand before building anything. Main trade-off: Margin and control shared with another party.
Suits when: Volume and customer expectations justify presence. Main trade-off: Fixed obligations and management attention.
Suits when: The foreign company should stay one legal body. Main trade-off: The branch is part of the parent, so the parent's position is directly involved; a local professional confirms the detail.
A branch is part of the foreign company, while a subsidiary is a separate legal entity; which fits depends on facts and professional confirmation.
May start cross-border. The assessment identifies the signs that would justify a local entity.
Customs, returns and warranties push the question toward who is responsible locally.
A project-by-project structure may outlast the contract; the assessment asks what happens afterwards.
This is business and structuring analysis, not legal, tax or investment advice. Where a legal or tax opinion is needed, we say so and point you to a licensed adviser.
No. It does not size demand or study competitors. A separate research service does that.
No. Hiring and contracting are outside scope.
No. The assessment concerns structure and sequence, not sales outcomes.
