Services

The corridor runs in both directions.

The work differs materially depending on which way a client is travelling. Both routes are handled by the same firm, with the partner resident in the receiving market leading the mandate.

Scope

What a mandate covers.

Every mandate includes search, verification and the introduction itself. The items below are the work that typically sits around it.

Gulf into Thailand

For GCC principals, family offices and operators taking a position in the Thai market.

Developer and asset introductions in Bangkok, Phuket, Samui and Krabi
Sourcing agreements with Thai manufacturers, processors and exporters
Franchise and licensing routes for Gulf brands entering Thailand
Hospitality partners for villa, resort and serviced-residence positions
Company structure, land and lease arrangements, and BOI pathways
Counterparty verification and pre-transaction diligence

Thailand into the Gulf

For Thai companies and operators seeking genuine access to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider GCC.

Distributor, agent and joint-venture partners across six GCC states
Halal certification and import routes for Thai food producers
Franchise placement for Thai restaurant and hospitality brands
Buyer channels for Thai property and hospitality assets
Commercial registration, licensing and local sponsorship guidance
Introduction to retail groups, importers and trading houses

Clients

Who we act for.

We take a small number of mandates at a time. A client is usually one of the following.

Investors and family offices

Gulf principals placing capital into Thai property, hospitality or operating businesses, who need the counterparty verified and the holding structure understood before commitment.

Producers and exporters

Thai manufacturers and food producers seeking importers, distributors or retail listings in the Gulf, and the certification required to supply them.

Brand and franchise owners

Restaurant, retail and hospitality brands moving in either direction, needing a master franchisee or operating partner with the balance sheet to open more than one site.

Developers and asset owners

Thai developers and property owners seeking a credible buyer channel in the Gulf, rather than a listing on an aggregator.

Boundaries

What sits outside our remit.

Stated here rather than discovered later.

We do not

Sell contact lists, take mandates outside our five sectors, act for both sides of the same transaction, or make an introduction we have not verified ourselves. We will decline a mandate rather than run it thinly.

We appoint others to

Provide legal opinion, tax structuring, audit and regulated financial advice. We identify and coordinate licensed advisers in the relevant jurisdiction; the client contracts with them directly.
