KPMG's Guide to International Business Location

KPMG's Global Location and Expansion Services

In most industries today, companies have to operate internationally to stay successful and grow. The need to enter new markets, serve major customers, or reduce costs and risks are just some of the reasons why businesses decide to establish a presence overseas. KPMG's Global Location and Expansion Services (GLES) group was formed to assist clients in the location and establishment of operations around the world. GLES professionals can provide objective advice that can help companies:

  • Develop an approach for international expansion that can support overall business objectives
  • Determine the requirements of a new operation and translate these into criteria for evaluating locations
  • Identify and compare countries, regions, and cities as potential locations for relocating or establishing new operations
  • Select and evaluate potential properties, buildings, or sites for a new facility
  • Negotiate and secure grants, tax breaks, and other types of government incentives and support
  • Set up new operations in a tax-efficient manner.

Based in all regions of the globe, KPMG's GLES professionals offer locally relevant, industry-specific knowledge that can help support expansion and relocation decisions.
