REPRESENTATION SERVICES IN ARMENIA

If you plan to increase sales, we can offer you our solution to launch export activities or increase the volume of exports. However, we should mention that development of the strategy to enter the new market; selection and appraisal of possible partners; creation of the distribution network and operation in another cultural environment are difficult tasks with underlying potential problems.

In most cases for successful interaction with partners and clients on the new market, there’s no need to have own headquarters or any representative office.

By opening the representative office according to the conventional approach, you face certain difficulties:

• Payment of the following expenses: rental fee for office premises, remuneration for 1-2 employees, telephone communication and Internet, purchase of stationeries, payment for accounting and reporting services, tax and other expenses per month.
• Registration of the representative office with the public authorities, search and maintenance of office premises, purchase of office furniture, appliances and PCs, translation of basic materials into Armenian, travel and accommodation expenses at the stage of launch, and others – significant time consuming and financial expenditures.
• Personnel recruitment is the more important and difficult stage, especially when only 1-2 people are working beyond direct control from the company. You can spend several months for training and interaction, but the person may terminate the labor contract, and no one will be held responsible for it, and you should start everything from the very beginning.

Our service “Organization of Representative Office” of a foreign company helps you to avoid these problems and significantly minimize expenses for organization and maintenance of the representative office.
