Aware that start-ups and SMEs are looking for tailor-made, pragmatic and cost effective solutions, our mission is for SMC to be the preferred alternative to the large corporate consulting/outsourcing firms. As a small but highly experienced team with a passion for service delivery, SMC delivers a more personal, agile and hands on service.

We know that one of the biggest challenges of international expansion is sourcing (and then managing) numerous untested contacts in each location. This time consuming task brings with it the risk of not always knowing what questions to ask and the ongoing sense of unease that something important will be missed. 

Instead, our clients have confidence in SMC, knowing that we are always available to advise on matters in any jurisdiction by leveraging our network of experienced local professionals. They rely on their single point of contact acting as their eyes and ears in country whilst proactively managing their compliance obligations.

Our team has been working within the International Expansion sector for many years, guiding predominantly privately owned/venture capital backed technology and life science companies in their global expansions. They previously held senior Regional Finance roles, often in US global corporations within the Technology, Biotech and Pharmaceutical sectors. As a result, when advising clients, your single point of contact is able to leverage their first-hand experience of International Finance, Procurement, HR and Legal challenges that clients often face when expanding into new territories. This allows them to empathise with the needs of clients and offer solutions that ensure local compliance, provide the necessary operational controls and meet corporate/US GAAP/SOx requirements.
