In addition, issues such as Industry Knowledge, Sales and Marketing, Taxation, Human Resources, Legal Regulations, Intellectual Property Rights, Information Technology, Telecommunications, must be carefully evaluated to protect your investment.

It is a task willingly undertaken for new clients as well with introductions to potential and strategic business partners in the emerging industry.
