Help with International Expansion
Expanding into a new market is one of the more consequential decisions a business can make. The opportunity may be clear, but the tax, structural, legal, and compliance implications of operating across borders are rarely straightforward. The cost of getting them wrong early is high.
Merry Mullen has advised Irish businesses on international expansion across a wide range of markets and structures. As Ireland’s sole member of GMNI — an association of independent accountancy firms operating in 49 countries — we can connect you directly with experienced local advisers in your target market, rather than coordinating through an intermediary or relying on general guidance from a distance.
That local knowledge matters. Tax obligations, company law, employment requirements, and banking relationships all vary significantly by jurisdiction. The value of having a trusted local firm that works within the same network and to the same standards is practical, not just reassuring.
How we help
Tax planning — structuring your international operations efficiently from the outset, including advice on holding company locations, transfer pricing, and the tax implications of entering new markets.
Company structure — advising on the most appropriate legal and corporate structure for your international operations, whether that is a subsidiary, branch, joint venture, or other arrangement.
Ongoing compliance — ensuring your Irish parent company and international entities meet their respective obligations across all relevant jurisdictions.
Coordination across borders — working directly with GMNI member firms in your target markets to provide joined-up advice that accounts for both Irish and local requirements simultaneously.
