International Headquarters | Your one-stop shop
We support you with experts and experienced program managers who significantly reduce time, risks and costs, from initiation to implementation of an IHQ in Switzerland. Global (10 years expat experience in Tokyo, Los Angeles and Vienna) and local expertise ensure that home and host countries’ requirements and risks are managed effectively. We work together with trusted partners to accompany you through the various stages of IHQ set-up, whether you are a start-up or a market leader.
Process management
Key factors and major activities for your IHQ in Switzerland are grouped together in three stages, and give you an idea of the complexity and level of detail that you need to consider.
Reasons for an IHQ:
- Deteriorating economic conditions in existing countries
- Social and political risks
- Centralized Intellectual Property (IP)
- Tax benefits
It is important to implement an operations manual that clearly defines your operating guidelines. The purpose of the operations manual is to provide information on which entity is responsible for which activity in each of your company’s business elements. The guidelines are based on responsibilities, tasks, functions and obligations for each participating group business, each business group and committee, and each key individual position. Guidelines are designed using a variety of tools, including process-mapping applications.
You also benefit from our assistance with site selection or expansion projects, taking into account factors such as the political and tax environment, business and infrastructure, labor and quality of life.
This phase includes many of the activities that you must take into account in order to become operational:
- Definition of the legal and governance model
- Set-up of financial operating model
- Development of HR policies and guidelines
- Definition of infrastructure
- Assessment and implementation of shared services and business process outsourcing
- Build-up of international organization (sales and marketing, support, R&D)
- Risk assessment (governance and compliance)
A lifecycle can also come to an end. If you make the decision to leave the country in order to build up new regional or international headquarters, it is important to define your exit strategy and make an assessment of the risks.
Corporate exit strategies always entail challenges, but with the right insights, strategic planning and priority management, your company can achieve its goals and derive robust deal value, even in today’s difficult market. Each company has its own specific circumstances and priorities to consider when planning and executing an exit strategy.
Defining your exit strategy:
- Business
- Finance (including treasury and procurement)
- Tax
- HR
- Legal (governance and compliance)
- Downsizing (e.g. real estate)
- IT/infrastructure
Assessing risks:
- HR
- Operations
- Financial impact
