Description

cacchorz


Join us for a roundtable discussion regarding opportunities for businesses between Canada and Australia. Hosted by OMF Markets, an expert panel will cover the practical steps a business needs to consider when expanding to a different jurisdiction. We'll be covering:

Planning for expansion from Australia

  • From the decision point to the business becoming operational - what are the range of time requirements?
  • Cost brackets – greenfields entry vs an entry via acquisition
  • Recommended planning approach

Incorporation in Canada

  • How much time is needed to simply register the business?
  • How much will it cost?
  • How much can be done from Australia and how much of that will necessitate a physical presence in Canada

Bank Account & Transfer of Funds

  • Time and cost required to open a bank account
  • Requirements to do so
  • Any restrictions in terms of regulatory hurdles
  • Best methods of transferring funds

Funds, Legal & Admin

  • How easy is it to access conventional or alternative debt as an international business?
  • If funding is coming from overseas, are there any processes like FIRB to be aware of?
  • What duties does legal counsel typically carry out?
  • Legal stumbling blocks
  • Office setup including staffing
  • Companies going it alone vs using service companies to handle office rental and hiring
