Asia strategy and risk advice

Our services for businesses and investors will help you to identify which markets to prioritise, how to enter your chosen market, and how to understand and mitigate political and regulatory risk.

1. Market identification and prioritisation 

Effectively navigating the vast scale, complexity and distinct differences between markets is crucial to succeeding in Asia.  Deciding where to start is the first hurdle for many businesses. 

We have a proven and cost-efficient approach to help you identify the best markets for your product or service based on our detailed understanding of market and sectoral growth drivers, regulatory barriers and cultural factors. 

'Asialink Business does an incredible job preparing organisations to do business in Asia. They work with you to create detailed market intelligence reports to better understand the opportunities and competition in the countries you want to enter. If you want to do business in Asia and be successful, I highly recommend engaging Asialink Business.' 

- Executive Vice President of Business Development, Nelnet

2. Market entry strategy

Too many businesses fail in Asia without the right strategy, burning precious capital and time. We work side-by-side with your team to develop and execute a practical strategy that you can follow to enter your chosen market.

Our strategies can help you:

• understand the regulatory landscape
• understand what your competitors are doing in the market
• adapt your value proposition and products or services to the target market
• decide on the best market entry model
• identify the best physical and digital sales channels
• tailor your brand positioning and marketing 
• identify potential partners and distributors.

3. Political and regulatory risk

Asia is increasingly attractive for investors and exporters but it can be challenging to understand the risk-reward trade-offs. 

We conduct political and regulatory due diligence to give boards and senior executives confidence that risks and issues have been identified and assessed. 

We do this by drawing on our deep Asia knowledge, extensive network of experts and in-house language skills. 

We handle all enquiries with due care and discretion.

'We engaged Asialink Business to conduct political and regulatory due diligence in advance of investing in a new Deakin campus in Indonesia. This advice was an important component of the business case put forward for approval and gave confidence to decision makers that potential risks and issues had been considered.'

- John Bolton, Executive Director, International Branch Campuses, Deakin University
