Market Entry Advisory

Companies from outside Bulgaria come to us when they plan to operate here. We advise on how the move is structured and what it takes to run once it is made.

Scope of the mandate

Four questions a mandate answers

Each is settled in order, and each is settled before the next is opened. A mandate may stop at any one of them.

01
Market assessment

Whether there is demand, at what price and against whom — established before anything is committed.

Demand sizing and segmentation
Competitor and pricing position
Regulatory conditions of entry
02
Entry structure

Which legal and operating form the move takes, and what each form obliges in return.

Entity type and shareholding
Tax and reporting obligations
Governance and signing authority
03
Delivery model

How technical work is placed, staffed and governed once the structure exists.

In-house, outsourced or blended
Reporting lines and oversight
Cost per function, modelled
04
Standing operation

What the footprint requires to keep running, reported and adequately staffed.

Compliance calendar
Retention and progression
Review points and thresholds
Why here

Bulgaria gives back more than it costs.

Inside the EU, with engineering depth that competes with anywhere in the union and a cost base that does not. Companies arrive for the economics and stay for the people they find.

Single market
Full EU and single-market membership
Talent
Deep engineering base
Cost
Among the EU’s most competitive
Corporate tax
Flat, and among Europe’s lowest
How we work

Four stages, in sequence

Each stage closes with a written position before the next begins. A mandate can end at any stage.

01Orientation

We establish what the company intends to do here, over what horizon, and against what constraints.

02Assessment

Market, cost and regulatory findings, set out plainly enough to support a decision either way.

03Recommendation

A structure, a delivery model and a sequence, with the trade-offs of each stated.

04Accompaniment

We stay available through execution, and review the standing operation once it runs.

What the record gives us

Success stories, and the lessons behind them

The lessons

Behind every completed entry is a set of decisions that worked and a set that had to be corrected. We carry both forward. The corrections are the more valuable of the two, and they are the reason a second entry rarely repeats the mistakes of a first.

The network

That record has also built a network. For each part of establishing a long-term entity — legal, accounting, banking, recruitment, premises, technical delivery — we know who does the work well here, and we bring in providers we have already worked alongside rather than ones found on a list.

The result is an entity built with structure and a vision that holds as the business grows.

How the advice is given

You set the direction. We carry it out.

Each stage closes with a written position setting out the trade-offs and a single recommendation. The decision rests with the company; execution rests with us.
