1. Global strategy for startups
Positioning your domestic startup to take advantage of
the benefits of a cross-border structure

2. 2
Startups gain a competitive advantage from a global strategy
that maximizes profits, reduces taxes, and reaches
international markets. Establishing your cross-border structure
is easier than you think.
1
You know that your startup needs a global
strategy. You are aware of the positive
effects that a cross-border approach will
have on your talent, profits, tax burden,
and market growth.
Global growth requires global know-how. With
the benefits of a global presence in mind, a
cross-border business still seems a little
confusing. You will have to comply with rules,
regulations, and laws abroad and at home.
To do this you will need a general understanding
of the international legal situation. At base,
you’ll need to know your responsibilities under
local corporate, employment, tax, and
immigration laws.
To establish compliance abroad, you will then
need to direct and manage your local legal
advisors in a foreign jurisdiction.
Who has time to learn and manage foreign
laws? The problem is that you are too busy to
learn these legal subjects and manage lawyers
who are proficient in these subject areas in
another time zone. You might not have any in-
2
house employees who have the time and
knowledge to address these needs.
Your global strategy is essential. Nonetheless,
you need an international presence to remain
competitive. Competitors big and small are
likely taking advantage of foreign talent, cost
savings, tax advantages, and growing markets in
other countries. Your competition’s customers
and investors know that a global approach is
essential to long-term success.
Your competitors have gotten the help they
need to operate abroad, either by hiring in-
house employees or seeking outside counsel.
You may need outside help to grow your
global business. You realize that legal advice is
expensive. You want to make sure that any
investment you make in legal advice will pay off
in increased monetization and profits for your
startup.
Total Mobility Law can help your business get
the benefits of an international presence. Our
service offerings and fee structures deliver the
help that your startup needs to compete in the
global economy.

which essentially examines the costs and benefits of an international structure. We then

opportunities for your business’s growth abroad.

counsel provides insight on detail, nuance, and context in the local jurisdiction.
Upon verification, we coordinate with you and key employees to fully inform your
company of how to move forward with your cross-border strategy.

An action plan for global expansion. After discussing
and reviewing global strategy with key employees at
your startup, Talent Mobility Law helps by developing a
global action plan for your startup. This is a legal
roadmap that focuses on getting the most out of your
future international business efforts.
In this action plan we set clear goals. We dedicate our
focus to pursue and achieve those goals.
We identify the most efficient route to global
compliance, providing cost options and comparing
various service providers in your target jurisdiction.
Finding local advisors is a key part of the action plan:
various local advisors will combine efforts to provide
comprehensive service.
These local service providers’ efforts will be
instrumental in establishing a foreign presence. As such,
the action plan will identify various options to
implement your global strategy. Knowing the costs and
issues of implementing a global strategy will further
inform your business decisions.
Looking forward, you will also need to understand the
ongoing compliance costs of maintaining a cross-border
structure. We will help your startup establish the
services you need to make sure that your business is
running smoothly from the initial setup.
Ongoing management after setup. When your business
is up and running in a new country, we stick around to
monitor and manage situations in the target country.
This ongoing approach creates accountability for the
current global structure, while providing for flexibility
as your needs—and the local environment—change. This
ongoing cooperation largely focuses on legal and
accounting needs.
On the legal side, we help you remain compliant with
periodic reviews of your startup’s activities in the new
country. We work with local counsel to review
employment practices, immigration status, corporate
compliance, and tax compliance. These annual reviews
give you the peace of mind that your business is safely
operating in its new home.
When it comes to tax law compliance, your business will
need ongoing support on the accounting side. We
manage the experienced local accounting firm that will
make all filings related to income tax, payroll
withholdings, and other corporate filings.
While most of these efforts work on autopilot apart
from your business activities, we follow up with local
service providers to make sure that they are providing
your startup the level of service that your company
needs to maintain successful operations in another
country.
In all, Total Mobility Law works hand-in-hand with your
startup to deliver the specific legal advice and related
3
legal services that you need to consider, establish, and
maintain a successful presence in a new country. All this
help comes at a price that you can afford because of a
pricing structure that makes sense.
Our fixed fees remove the fear of runaway
international legal costs. We offer innovative pricing
structures for startups that are entering the
international legal arena. A fixed fee approach makes it
easier for you to see the returns on your investment in
cross-border legal advice.
After providing an initial complimentary analysis, you
can determine whether a cross-border approach is worth
the investment. In most situations, the costs of setup
are well worth the opportunity for the extra profits that
the global strategy offers.
We will then engage in a fixed fee agreement, where we
agree to work for a set price to complete the work that
is necessary to implement the plan. We are always
available to discuss the process with you.
We will never charge you for discussing your global
strategy. We will never charge you for sending an email.
We aggressively negotiate fees with local counsel.
This fixed fee approach removes the fear of unexpected
legal fees from Total Mobility Law, consulting with you
constantly on progress towards implementation.
When we finish the implementation stage, we continue
to support your business abroad. You can contact us any
time at no cost, while we keep an eye on your
business’s success abroad.

through global strategy. We plan, implement, and
monitor your strategy and deliver this service for

Corporate law is often the starting point for most businesses
operating abroad. You may need a local corporate presence to
do business, hire employees, or sponsor work visas for non-
national employees. After come analysis, choosing and setting
up a business is often a straightforward process that a local
advisor can help you with at limited cost and efforts.
Tax law is an immediate result of having a business in a given
country, especially if that business is making profits, engaging
with customers and vendors, or paying employees in the given
country. While tax law is often complicated and requires
regular attention to filings and changes in the laws, different
tax rates among countries can offer tax advantages.
Employment law is an important issue for foreign employers of
local workers. While the general framework of employment law
is similar among different countries, the specific differences in
local labor laws can have remarkable effects on employers.
Your business needs to know that it is compliant with local
labor laws and regulations. To succeed, you need local advice.
Immigration law comes into play when your business presence
abroad hires or relies on employees who work in the target
country. If anyone will work with the business on site in
country who is not a citizen or legal resident of the country,
you will need to assess the implications of local immigration
rules on those non-national employees.
Comprehensive service is necessary if your startup plans to
comply with these specialized areas of foreign law. The
interplay of these areas of law is constant: each subject of law
affects each other, requiring careful analysis for the decisions
that you will make regarding your global strategy. A global
strategy is within reach with comprehensive service.

business needs, Total Mobility Law will handle all of
your cross-border legal needs. We will find the most
