The six phases
What Foremark
actually delivers.
Every phase has defined deliverables, a fixed timeline, and a senior Foremark advisor accountable for the outcome. Nothing is outsourced to junior associates or generic law firms.
Phase 01
Weeks 1–6 · Entry point
Pre-Decision Intelligence
Your market entry decision deserves more than a generic consultant's report. Foremark delivers a proprietary intelligence brief: sector-specific, corridor-specific, and structured as a formal Go/No-Go recommendation with a board-ready presentation.

Phase 02
Weeks 6–12 · Foundation

The process
From first call to
live operations.
What typically takes 18 months through fragmented advisors takes 8–12 weeks with Foremark. Here is how the engagement runs.
01
Discovery Call
90 minutes. Free. Your corridor, your sector, your timeline. A senior Foremark advisor — not a sales person — runs the call and delivers a corridor recommendation.
02
Intelligence Phase
The Phase 1 report. Go/No-Go. Incentive landscape. Competitive mapping. Delivered in 6 weeks. Can be purchased as a standalone Starter Report ($15K) or as the entry into the full engagement.
03
Parallel Execution
Phases 2–5 run in parallel where possible — legal, tax, licensing, and talent moving simultaneously. This is what compresses 18 months into 90 days.
04
Live & Retained
Entity operational. Bank account open. First hires in place. Foremark's retainer (Phase 6) keeps the relationship active for compliance, expansion, and government engagement.
