Built to solve the problem everyone else ignores
Most companies entering India, UAE, or Singapore use advisors who have never been accountable for the outcome. Foremark was built on a single premise — that the people who guide market entry should be the same people who execute it, named on every engagement letter, and personally responsible for the result.
The problem with every other market entry advisor
International expansion into India, UAE, and Singapore is the single most consequential geographic decision most companies will make in a decade. The incentives available — PLI schemes worth hundreds of crores, EDB Pioneer Status reducing effective tax rates to 5%, DIFC zero-tax structures guaranteed for fifty years — are transformational. And the structural mistakes that can be made in the first ninety days can take years to unwind.
Despite this, the advisory market for market entry is broken in a consistent and predictable way. Global professional services firms send associates. Local advisors lack the international structuring perspective. Generic consultants produce research decks from secondary sources. Nobody is personally accountable. Nobody's name is on the engagement letter alongside yours.
Foremark was built to be the exception. Every engagement is led by a named Country Director — a senior professional with 18–22 years of in-market experience and active institutional relationships with the regulators that matter. Fixed fee. Defined deliverables. Personal accountability.
The commitments we make
in every engagement letter
Your Country Director's name is on the letter
Not "Foremark Global." Not "our team." The name of the Country Director who will personally lead your engagement appears in the engagement letter alongside yours. That name does not change for the duration of the engagement.
The number you see is the number you pay
No hourly billing. No day rates. No "scope creep" invoices. Every engagement is scoped upfront, priced as a fixed fee, and that fee is written into the engagement letter. The only way the fee changes is if the scope changes by mutual written agreement.
Structural completion in 90 days or we refund
Every Scale engagement includes a 90-day structural completion commitment — from engagement letter signature to operational entity with banking. If Foremark does not meet it, the relevant tranche is refunded. This commitment is contractual, not marketing.
We act exclusively for you in your sector
Foremark does not act for two competing companies in the same sector in the same corridor simultaneously. If a conflict arises, the engagement is declined. Your Country Director's institutional relationships are deployed on your behalf — not split.
Everything we tell you comes from direct access
No Foremark deliverable contains intelligence sourced from public reports, aggregated databases, or secondary research. Every insight, every incentive assessment, every regulatory interpretation comes from direct institutional access. If we do not have access, we say so.
The $15K Starter fee is credited — always
If you commission a Starter Report and proceed to a Scale engagement within 90 days, the $15,000 Starter fee is credited in full against the $75,000 Scale fee. This credit is contractual and unconditional — it does not expire and cannot be revoked.
Intelligence first. Structure second.
Execution always.
The Foremark model has three layers. The first is intelligence — before any structure is recommended, Foremark produces a proprietary Go/No-Go analysis specific to the client's sector, size, and timeline. This is the Starter Report, and it exists because the single most expensive mistake in market entry is committing to a structure before understanding what is available.
The second layer is structure — the legal entity, the tax architecture, the holding framework, the incentive applications. This is where most advisory engagements begin and end. Foremark begins it only after the intelligence layer is complete.
The third layer is execution — the operational entity, the banking, the team, the government relations. This is where most advisory engagements fall apart. Foremark's Country Directors remain accountable through operational completion. The 90-day commitment is structural completion — not completion of a report.
All three layers are available as a single Scale engagement. The Starter Report (intelligence only) is available separately for companies at pre-decision stage — and is credited toward Scale in full within 90 days.
WONE Global · 100+ partners · 30+ countries
Foremark is a dedicated market entry platform built within the WONE Global network — one of the world's largest networks of senior independent advisors across strategy, finance, governance, and international operations. WONE Global's Chair is Peter S. Johnson, BAccS, CPA, CGA.
The WONE Global network is what gives Foremark's Country Directors access beyond what any individual practitioner could build independently. When a Foremark client needs a legal opinion in a specific Indian state, a banking introduction in DIFC, or a government relations contact in EDB Singapore — that introduction comes from the WONE network, not from a cold rolodex.
Foremark is not WONE Global. It is a focused, dedicated platform within the network — purpose-built for market entry into India, UAE, and Singapore. The three corridors are not a compromise. They are a deliberate choice to be the best in the world at three things, rather than adequate at twenty.
