Our Process
A structured, proven approach that delivers results from day one — and keeps improving over time.
Market Research & Opportunity Assessment
We analyse demand signals, competitive density, regulatory requirements, and logistics economics for each target market to confirm viability and set realistic revenue projections.
Compliance & Legal Setup
Our specialists navigate market-specific requirements — business registration, tax obligations (GST/VAT), product compliance certifications, and advertising regulations — before a single product is listed.
Logistics & Fulfilment Setup
We establish the local fulfilment infrastructure — FBA, domestic 3PL partnerships, or hybrid models — to ensure competitive delivery speeds and cost-effective shipping in each market.
Localisation & Launch
All content, pricing, customer service tone, and marketing materials are localised for the target market. We coordinate the full go-live — marketplace activation, ad campaigns, and PR if applicable.
In-Market Optimisation
Post-launch, we actively manage and optimise each market with dedicated specialists who understand the local competitive landscape and customer behaviour.
Case Studies
Real brands, real challenges, measurable outcomes. Here is what we have achieved for clients just like you.
BeautyBox
BeautyBox had saturated the New Zealand market at NZD $3.2M in annual revenue. They wanted to expand into Australia and the US but had no experience with international logistics, foreign tax compliance, or marketplace setup outside their home market.
Forfos managed the complete AU and US market entry — ABN registration and GST setup in Australia, LLC formation and EIN registration in the US, FBA onboarding in both markets, content localisation, and targeted launch campaigns.
“International expansion felt overwhelming until Forfos took the wheel. They handled every detail — compliance, logistics, content, launch — and the results exceeded every projection we had set.”
GadgetWorld
GadgetWorld's Singapore business was thriving but the founders wanted to enter the UK market. Electronics compliance in the UK (CE, UKCA marking, WEEE registration) and the post-Brexit tax environment made independent entry extremely complex.
Forfos navigated UKCA certification, UK VAT registration, WEEE compliance, domestic 3PL setup, and Amazon UK marketplace launch — building a fully operational UK business within 90 days.
“The UK regulatory environment is notoriously complex for electronics. Forfos knew every requirement, handled every submission, and launched us flawlessly. Zero compliance issues.”
