What will the business actually do?
Describe the activities you plan to carry out, your customers and how you will deliver the service or product. This gives the setup discussion a practical starting point. Avoid choosing a jurisdiction only because an advertised package appears inexpensive.
Where will you operate?
Consider where your team, customers and premises will be located. Ask which permissions, facilities and approvals apply to your planned activities. Requirements vary, so compare options against the actual operating model.
What is the full cost?
Request a breakdown of setup charges, recurring licence costs, premises, visas and any other services included. Separate one-time charges from annual commitments and clarify exclusions. A useful comparison looks beyond the headline package price.
What documents and approvals are needed?
Confirm the requirements for shareholders, managers and the planned activities with the relevant authority or adviser. Ask about the sequence of steps and dependencies. An estimated timeline should account for approvals that cannot be guaranteed in advance.
How will finances work after incorporation?
Plan your banking, invoicing, bookkeeping and document storage from the start. Discuss tax registration and other obligations in the context of your business. Incorporation is one milestone; a workable operating setup is the next.
Who will manage ongoing responsibilities?
Assign ownership of renewals, records and compliance dates. Keep a central list of the company’s documents and responsible contacts. Before proceeding, obtain a written scope describing the setup support, fees and the responsibilities that remain with you.
