Company setup tools
Each tool answers one question on its own. When you’re ready, the setup advisor puts them together into a priced plan.
Activity finder →
Describe what the business does. See the licence activity codes that fit, whether a regulator has to approve it, and which zones permit it.
Compare zones →
Pick two to five zones and your visas, family and office. See year 1 and year 2 priced from each zone's published fees, and the differences that matter besides price.
Structure explainer →
Answer how the business will trade. Get a recommendation with its reasons, the cautions that come with it, and the legal forms to choose from.
Visa planner →
