As businesses grow, setting up offices in key markets will provide the necessary in-country presence and proximity to customers.

There will be new business considerations arising from the expansion and regulations to be mindful of. This includes managing the needs of an international workforce beyond filing personal income tax returns.

Therefore, getting the expatriate plan right from the start is important as an unhappy workforce could negatively impact business performance and reputation.
