Singapore & Southeast Asia
We help international businesses find their footing in the region. Local knowledge, real contacts, and someone on the ground who knows how things actually work.
Get in touch →01 / The Firm
The name comes from the Straits of Malacca, the waterway that has connected this part of the world to global trade for centuries. We operate across that same corridor today, from our base in Singapore out through Malaysia, the Philippines and the wider region.
Most of our clients are international firms who know what they want to do but need someone local to make it happen. What we bring isn't just a contact list. Its judgment about who to use, when to push, and when to wait.
02 / Expertise
The wrong lawyer or corporate secretary at the start costs you months and money you won't get back. We've seen enough of both to know who to use across the region, and we stay in it with you until the entity is running, not just incorporated.
The most valuable thing we offer is who picks up when we call. Banks, professional firms, local partners across Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. We've built these relationships over years and we use them directly.
The things that don't make it into the briefing notes. Which portal actually works, who to call when the bank account stalls, what the compliance officer really needs. We know the shortcuts and the unwritten rules.
03 / Regional Footprint
04 / Leadership
Our founders bring decades of combined experience across financial services, corporate advisory, technology, and regional professional services in Southeast Asia.
05 / Connect
If you're thinking about the region and want a conversation, drop us an email. Most people find 20 minutes is enough to know whether it's worth going further.
