BUSINESS SETUP

Build the Right Foundation for Your Business

Business setup support covering entity selection, registrations, approvals, project planning, factory setup and the practical steps required to move from business idea to an operational structure.

THE BUSINESS SETUP QUESTION

Starting a business involves more than registering an entity

A new business may need the right legal structure, registrations, approvals, operating arrangements, financial planning, premises, people, technology, contracts and compliance processes. The requirements depend on the nature of the business, location, ownership, activities, investment structure and applicable laws and regulations.

RASHA provides structured business setup support so that the setup process can be considered as a connected business journey rather than as a collection of unrelated registrations. The scope can be tailored to a new venture, an existing business entering a new activity, a project or a larger operating setup.
