Discovery
The discovery call.

90 minutes with your named Country Director. Your sector, your city, your timeline, and your ambitions — discussed with specificity that no generic advisory process can match. This is the call where Foremark decides whether to take your engagement and you decide whether Foremark is the right partner. It costs nothing. It produces a clear view of your entry programme before any commitment is made.

Why it's faster

Foremark vs the fragmented alternative.

The 18-month market entry is not a myth. It is the outcome of a process designed around fragmented advisors. Foremark is designed around the opposite.

Process questions

How it works in practice.

What happens if the 90-day guarantee is missed?+
Foremark continues working on your engagement at no additional charge until the guaranteed milestone is achieved. This commitment is written into the engagement letter and is unconditional. In practice, Foremark has not missed the 90-day guarantee on a completed Scale engagement.
Can I start with the Starter Report before committing to Scale?+
Yes. The Starter Report is a standalone deliverable at $15,000. Most clients commission the Starter Report first, use it to obtain board approval for Scale, then commission Scale immediately after. The $15,000 Starter fee is credited in full toward Scale if commissioned within 90 days of report delivery.
Is the discovery call really free, and what does it cover?+
The discovery call is 90 minutes, costs nothing, and carries no obligation. It is taken by your named Country Director and covers your sector, your structure, your timeline, your competitive position, and the preliminary incentive landscape available to you. By the end of the call, you will have a clear view of whether Foremark is the right partner and what an engagement would look like — before any commitment is made.
What is included in the 90-day timeline — is it business days?+
The 90-day clock starts on the date your Scale engagement letter is signed and the first invoice is paid. The count is calendar days, not business days. Government processing times for certain approvals (RBI branch office approval, MAS licensing) are outside the 90-day guarantee if they extend beyond the Foremark-controlled steps — this is specified clearly in the engagement letter for structures that require these approvals.
Does the process differ between India, UAE, and Singapore?+
The five-step framework is consistent across all three corridors. The content — incentive landscape, government relationships, regulatory approvals, and banking pathway — is corridor-specific. Timelines also vary slightly: Singapore entity registration can be completed in 1–3 days; Indian ROC registration takes 2–4 weeks; UAE free zone registration varies by jurisdiction. These differences are explained in detail during the discovery call.
