Six phases. One outcome.
Every Foremark engagement follows a structured six-phase architecture — from pre-decision intelligence through to ongoing in-market support. Each phase is a defined deliverable. Nothing is generic. Nothing is left to chance.
How the six phases connect.
Each phase builds on the last. Your Starter report becomes Phase 01 of your Scale engagement. Your Scale engagement becomes the foundation of your Enterprise programme. Nothing is wasted. Everything compounds.

Pre-Decision Intelligence
The most important document in your market entry decision — produced specifically for your company, your sector, and your target market.
Most companies enter new markets with generic country reports, outdated research, or advice from advisors who have never operated in that market. The Foremark Pre-Decision Intelligence Report is different in every dimension.
It is produced specifically for your company — your sector, your product, your target customer, your competitive position. It answers the question your board needs answered: should we enter, and if so, how?
"This report is a standalone deliverable worth the fee on its own. Most clients use it to get board approval for the full entry programme."
Delivered as a board-ready PDF report plus a 60-minute presentation call with your Country Director. The $15,000 fee is credited in full toward any Scale engagement commissioned within 90 days.

-
Formal Go/No-Go Recommendation
A clear, reasoned recommendation: enter now, enter later, enter differently, or don't enter this market. With the rationale your board needs to act on it.
Incentives & Government Strategy
Most companies leave millions in incentives on the table. We map every scheme and apply for everything you qualify for.
India's PLI schemes can reduce effective manufacturing costs by 4–6% of turnover for qualifying companies. UAE free zones offer up to 50-year tax exemptions. Singapore's Pioneer Status can reduce corporate tax to 5% or even 0% for qualifying activities.
These incentives are not automatic. They require structured applications, government relationships, and in many cases, advance negotiation before you register your entity. Companies that don't engage Foremark at this phase routinely miss incentives worth ten to fifty times our fee.
Foremark's institutional relationships with Invest India, DIFC Authority, and EDB Singapore mean we engage as a known partner — not as a cold applicant.
