The challenge

Landing in a market is a different game from selling into it.

Which market, and which entry method?

Distributor, subsidiary, JV, greenfield, or EOR: the wrong structure is expensive to unwind.

Local setup is a maze

Incorporation, tax, licensing, and hiring rules differ everywhere and change often.

You don’t know who to trust on the ground

Advisors, EORs, and local partners are hard to vet from a thousand miles away.

What you get

A guided path into your next market.

From the entry-method decision to boots on the ground, scoped to what you’re actually trying to build.

Meridian on the method question

Ask Meridian, your AI trade co-pilot, whether to export or invest. It answers from your product, corridor, and numbers; the choice stays yours.

Investment-climate intelligence

FDI trends, governance and business-climate scores, and market pulse for each country you’re weighing.

Step-by-step setup frameworks

Per entry method (greenfield, JV, EOR, licensing, distribution), with tasks and guidance.

Local partner discovery

Advisors and specialist providers matched to your plan and corridor, plus a live web search when the directory has nobody in yours yet.

Agency contacts, per market

The IPAs and public agencies for your corridor: who they are and how to reach them, from a directory of 441 organizations in 154 countries.

Meridian on the whole project

Tasks, documents, and next steps for your specific setup.

The way in

Choose the structure before you choose the address.

Eighteen entry methods, four families, and the one you pick decides the setup plan and the partners you will need on the ground.
