Strategic Alliances

For our clients who are emerging in foreign markets for the first time, we have established strategic alliances with the following firms (and others in various nations throughout the world) in order to get you there seamlessly. Utilizing them through Universal Consensus provides you with advantages and discounts that would otherwise be unavailable to you.

We have attorneys to devise your corporate structure, evaluate liability issues and protect your intellectual property, tax advisors to obtain for you the greatest advantages possible in multiple geographies, international logistics operators that assist with tariff compliance and every other aspect of import-expert, and more.

In addition, we vet, Q.A., and spear-head the whole process while making sure you do so with the utmost cross cultural core competence for a competitive advantage in branding, marketing, sales, communication, and operational efficiency. For clients who have already emerged in their foreign markets, we will focus on optimization of all these business processes to maximize cost savings, promote efficiency, and drive profit in these markets.
