From solo founders to growing international teams, HJSGlobal supports businesses at each stage of cross-border expansion and restructuring.
We provide the full suite of services required to design, establish and maintain cross-border structures—from initial structuring and entity selection through to incorporation, registration and ongoing corporate compliance.
Establish private limited companies, LLCs and other entity types across Asia, Europe and the US through a structure-led approach. We prioritise coherent, sustainable architectures over purely speed-driven, paperwork-first setups.
Access local registered office addresses and corporate secretarial support to meet statutory and corporate governance requirements. Our partners maintain registers, resolutions and filings in line with local company law.
Define the right legal structure, shareholding and director composition to support fundraising, tax efficiency and substance expectations. Structuring advice is embedded into every engagement rather than treated as an afterthought.
Receive practical guidance on opening corporate bank accounts and online payment solutions for cross-border and selling businesses. We share realistic pathways for non-resident founders and highlight likely constraints upfront.
Stay on top of annual returns, board approvals, statutory filings and broader corporate secretary obligations. Our structured workflows are designed to keep each entity in good standing over time, not just at incorporation.
Leverage a curated network of bookkeeping, tax, legal, HR and virtual office partners as your structure evolves. Our integrated approach means you do not need to manage multiple providers in isolation.
HJSGlobal works with internationally oriented founders and teams who require pragmatic, boutique support for cross-border company formation and ongoing corporate governance.
Entrepreneurs operating globally without a single physical headquarters who need a clean, credible structure for clients, platforms, counter-parties and investors.
Venture-backed and bootstrapped technology businesses expanding between Asia, Europe and the US, seeking investor-friendly jurisdictions, clear, scalable governance.
Cross-border e-commerce sellers and direct-to-consumer brands requiring efficient entity setup, banking and payment infrastructure in key markets.
Professional services firms serving clients internationally that require local entity setups, invoicing and regulatory compliance while retaining central oversight.
Many clients arrive with similar cross-border questions and constraints. The examples below illustrate how our advisory-led company formation and registration work in practice.
A founder with an operating team in Asia needs a reputable international entity to invoice global clients. We design a structure that uses Singapore or Hong Kong for regional contracting and banking, while keeping operational activities where the team and costs are.
A founder based in Europe or the US wants to hire remote staff in Southeast Asia without creating tax or regulatory ambiguity. We implement a group structure with an investor-friendly holding company and one or more local operating entities.
A SaaS business with customers across Asia, Europe and North America needs a structure that works for payment providers, acquirers and investors. HJSGlobal advises on combinations such as a Delaware or UK holding company supported by lean operating entities.
A founder has multiple companies created via low-cost providers with unclear roles, overlapping governance and banking challenges. We review the existing setup, recommend simplifications where possible, and implement a cleaner Asia-West structure going forward.
Jurisdiction and structure choices have long-term implications for tax, banking, compliance and future transactions. Before proceeding with cross-border company registration, we encourage clients to consider the following pillars.
Pillar 1 is market reality. Where are your core customers located — in Asia, Europe or North America? Do counterparties expect local invoicing? Local presence or local substance?
Your commercial footprint often determines whether a holding company, trading entity or local operating company should be prioritised.
Pillar 2 is tax and regulation. Jurisdictions differ materially in corporate tax rates, reporting obligations and substance rules. Many maintain locations at the mid-teens (10-25%) in corporate tax for corporate tax, with special regimes or incentives for specific activities.
We work with local experts so you understand the implications before you incorporate.
Pillar 3 is money moves. Access to international banking and payment providers is fundamental and a founder priority. Questions such as: "Can we open accounts remotely?", "Which providers are realistic for our risk profile?" and "How will funds flow between entities?" are addressed ahead of commitment, not after issues arise.
Pillar 4 is substance. Many countries now expect genuine presence — directors, employees or meaningful activity — to support a regulatory position.
We advise on governance, resourcing and operational alignment so your structure remains credible with regulators, banks and investors over time.
HSJGlobal is not a volume-driven, form-filling service. Every engagement begins with a structure-first review that considers markets, tax exposure, banking access and substance expectations before any entities are incorporated.
Many clients approach us after encountering limitations with generic providers or purely DIY solutions — typically around banking, investor expectations, tax treatment or regulatory scrutiny. Our objective is to build a clean, defensible and investor-ready structure from the outset.
HSJGlobal focuses on a defined set of strategic markets so you can allocate attention and capital where it matters most. The jurisdictions below are typical building blocks for Asia-West expansion, company formation and cross-border operations.
Singapore Company Formation · Hong Kong Company Registration · Thailand · Vietnam (and more)
Access fast-growing markets, competitive tax regimes and robust banking infrastructure across Southeast Asia. Singapore and Hong Kong are frequently selected for regional holding and trading entities, while markets such as Thailand and Vietnam often serve as locations for local operating companies and teams. More detailed guidance is available in our jurisdiction-specific pages.
United Kingdom Company Formation · Germany · Netherlands (and more)
Benefit from mature markets, established legal framework and proximity to the wider European region. The UK provides flexible company law and is well-understood by investors, while selected EU jurisdictions can be advantageous for serving European customers and managing regulatory requirements.
US Company incorporation — Delaware · Wyoming · other states on request
Establish an entity in the world's largest economy with structures widely recognised by investors, platforms and payment providers. States such as Delaware and Wyoming are common choices for venture-backed and online business models.
A clear, advisory-led sequence so you always understand next steps, timelines and responsibilities.
You share your business model, target markets, existing entities (if any) and expansion priorities. We prepare a shortlist of jurisdictions, entity types and high-level structure options aligned with your objectives.
We agree fees, timelines, then provide a clear checklist for documental and KYC information for directors, shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners. Our team supports you through each stage of preparation.
HSJGlobal coordinates filings through vetted local partners, monitors progress and keeps you informed at key milestones until your company is fully incorporated and registered with the relevant authorities.
Once your entity is live, we provide legal corporate documents and support post-incorporation steps — including bank account applications, registered address arrangements, bookkeeping setup and ongoing compliance packages.
International company formation is a strategic decision, not just a form to submit. The table below contrasts typical approaches with HSJGlobal’s advisory-led model.
| Type | DIY / Local Firm | Large Global Platform | HSJGlobal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Focus | Single country, limited cross-border perspective | Very broad, limited emphasis on Asia-West structures | Dedicated focus on Asia-West company formation, registration and structuring for international founders |
| Support for non-resident founders | Often designed around local residents and domestic businesses | Standardised, one-size-fits-all processes | Non-resident friendly, remote-first workflows with pragmatic implementation guidance |
| Advisory before incorporation | Transactional service, limited input on overall structure | High-level guidance, rarely tailored to SMEs and early-stage teams | Structure-first approach, including a dedicated pre-incorporation structure review |
| Coordination across jurisdictions | You coordinate multiple local firms and advisors individually | Ticket-based systems and rotating account managers | Single relationship team coordinating vetted local partners in each jurisdiction |
| Pricing and transparency | Unclear total cost, ad-hoc additional fees | Layered pricing structures that can be difficult to interpret | Transparent, fixed-fee packages with clearly defined scope and indicative timelines |
Clients work with us for a combination of structured thinking, coordinated execution and long-term alignment with their growth plans.
Engage one central relationship team while we coordinate with local corporate lawyers, company secretaries and compliance specialists across your chosen jurisdictions.
Access clearly defined, fixed-fee packages with full visibility on government charges and professional fees. Our pricing designed for serious founders and SMEs, rather than ultra-low cost, mass market volume.
We prioritise legal and regulatory compliance to protect your company, shareholders and long-term expansion plans, rather than simply aiming for the fastest possible incorporation at any cost.
Receive timely responses via email, chat or video call from a dedicated contact who understands your structure, history and priorities instead of a rotating queue of anonymous agents.
Whether you are launching your first overseas entry or building a multi-country group, our frameworks and partners scale with your requirements.
We combine the responsiveness and personal attention of a boutique firm with an international partner network across Southeast Asia, Europe and North America.
HSJGlobal is a boutique international company formation and corporate services firm focused on Asia-West expansion. We work with entrepreneurs, management teams and investors who require thoughtful, implementation-ready structures across Southeast Asia, Europe and North America.
Our role is to bridge international strategy with local execution — ensuring that the entities you create are coherent, compliant and aligned with how your business actually operates and grows.
Comprehensive international formation and structuring projects often involve multiple parties and are tailored to each client. As a result, they require a meaningful professional budget. We do not compete with ultra-low-cost, one-size-fits-all registration platforms.
We deliberately limit the number of active mandates we accept so that each client receives senior attention and a considered, advisory-led approach rather than a transactional, volume-driven experience.
