Built correctly.
From the
first document.
A legal structure designed incorrectly at entry costs orders of magnitude more to unwind than to get right from the start. Foremark designs, incorporates, and operationalises your entity — WOS in India, DIFC in UAE, Pte Ltd in Singapore — end to end, including banking.

How Phase 2 runs
Six weeks.
Entity operational.
Phase 2 runs in four structured steps. Banking begins in parallel with incorporation — the most common source of timeline delay for companies that don't manage this correctly from the start.
01
Week 1
Structure Memo
Entity design finalised — type, ownership structure, share classes, director and secretary appointments — signed off before any documents are prepared or filed.
02
Weeks 1–2
Document Preparation
MOA/AOA drafted. Board resolutions prepared. KYC packages compiled for all directors and beneficial owners. All documents notarised and apostilled where required.
03
Weeks 2–5
Filing + Banking (parallel)
Authority submission (ROC/ACRA/Free Zone) and banking engagement initiated simultaneously. Foremark tracks both processes — minimising the delay that trips most foreign entries.
04
Week 6
Certificates & Handover
Certificate of Incorporation received. Bank account operational. Full corporate document pack — PAN/UEN/TRN, share certificates, signed SHA — delivered to your team.
