Setting up business in Australia
We can help overseas companies bring their business to Australia, and help Australian startups establish a new business.
Antipodean Business Advantage draws on the expertise of commercial veterans with a wealth of local experience in many sectors of industry and business.
Market intelligence
As much information or as little as you need. We have market knowledge that can provide a great advantage in the early planning process and as expansion is deemed appropriate.
Set up your business
Whether a local startup or an overseas business coming to Australia, there are State and Territory legal variances involved - sometimes Federal regulatory aspects as well - which can affect the establishment of a business. We can act as your proxy in the earlier stages particularly, and then ease you into the field of play.
Proxy representation
Primarily for international clients - but also suited to the local market with a location in another State - this service enables you to 'test the water' through local market representation. We will take your product into the field, under your own brand representation if you wish, and determine the likely interest for you. We have been involved in sales and marketing for over 35 years and we have the ability to quickly and effectively represent you and your product to Australian prospects.
In-market support
For an Australian company it might be that its Head Office is in another State and they seek someone on-the-ground. For an international company it is an obvious case of stepping into a 'foreign' market and requiring a degree of hand-holding – from airport arrival to departure if that is what's required. We do that.
Orientation visit
Any new or major initiative can be traumatic enough and a bit of personal support can make a huge difference. We can prepare the groundwork for you with preview briefings, visit planning, logistical advice, and guidance throughout.
Project administration
Sometimes you simply cannot be there. We are able to act for you in many ways, enabling you to concentrate on the main game. We can be your eyes and ears.
Appointment setting & logistical support
With a little preparation, a visit to yourt target market can be so much more productive than if you just launch straight at it. We can prepare the way for you and your business prospects, with early contact and consultation. We are also able to prepare and/or vet your proposed itinerary to ensure a smooth and effective process. Local knowledge will ensure you do not end up as a ragged mess at the end of your trip.
Greenfield establishment
In some instances the program may involve ground-breaking work involving a myriad of government bodies and authorities. We can act for you to any degree that you desire.
Set up a registered Australian office
For international clients it is sometimes possible for us to act as the 'official' address for you, up to a point that suits your plans. We can also assist and coordinate your registration processes and refer you to accounting services appropriate to your needs.
Verification & audit service
We are able to carry out verification checks for you. You might just want someone to make a physical inspection, or it could involve more.
Sales & marketing advice
We have been involved in sales and marketing across Australia for many years. You can tap into the accumulated local experience and save yourself a lot at heartache.
Company formation coordination
Some companies are faced with procedural challenges when a merger or restructuring process is taking place. We can be there, as and when needed, to ensure your plans are carried out.
Systems assessment & implementation
We are able to act as your eyes and ears in a checks and balance process.
Business mentoring
We can work with you and/or for you from day one or day 1,386. If you need a consultation or assistance at any stage of your operation, we can be there.
Other specialist advice
We have experience in a number of areas of manufacturing, production and management. If we don't know we will say so, and then discuss options regarding the particular challenges confronting you - to ensure your satisfaction to the greatest extent possible.
