Our Process

1

Initial Consultation

We start with a deep-dive conversation to understand your business goals, priorities, and vision for the GCC. This helps us carry out feasibility study and design a model that aligns with your strategy.

2

GCC Blueprint & Roadmap

We co-create a customised roadmap, covering operating models (100% subsidiary, branch office or an offshoring team), location strategy, talent requirements, and timelines.

3

Compliance & Setup

Our team manages the legal, regulatory, and infrastructure requirements – from entity incorporation to workspace and technology setup – so you can focus on your business. We’ll guide you through the necessary paperwork – typically including passport copies, visa status, business plan, and proof of address. The process is simple and checklist-driven.

4

Talent & Operations Build-out

We help you recruit and onboard the right talent, establish Standard Operating Procedures, and put governance structures in place to ensure your GCC is future-ready.

5

Ongoing Support & Scale-up

Once your GCC is live, we provide continuous support – performance tracking, optimisation, and scaling opportunities – so your centre grows with your business.
