Why Northmere

What makes the difference when entering a new market

On-the-ground perspective

Northmere operates from Chiang Mai and maintains active connections across Thailand's regional business landscape, giving you context that remote research cannot replicate.

Clear trade-off framing

We present options honestly — effort, cost, and fit — so your leadership team can weigh alternatives and decide with a shared understanding of what each path involves.

Written deliverables

Every engagement produces a documented output — a briefing pack, an options matrix, or an entry plan — so your team has something concrete to reference and share internally.

B2B focus, no retail noise

Our work is oriented toward companies establishing B2B operations — not retail or franchise models. That focus means the comparisons and examples we draw on are relevant to your situation.

Matched to your stage

There is no single format pushed at every client. From a first-look orientation through to an ongoing advisory relationship, the scope fits where your planning actually stands.

Direct access to advisors

Clients work directly with the advisors responsible for their engagement. Questions get considered answers, not routed through account managers or templated responses.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does the Market Orientation Briefing actually cover?
The briefing covers the practical context for doing business in Thailand: customer behaviour, distribution and sales channel considerations, typical operating structures, and common points of friction for overseas companies. It is an information session — not legal or financial advice — designed to give your team a well-organised starting picture. It concludes with a written briefing pack and a call for questions.
We have no prior experience with Thailand. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The Market Orientation Briefing is specifically structured for companies at the very beginning of their thinking. Starting with no assumptions is often easier to work with than starting with the wrong ones. We find that teams with no prior regional experience tend to ask the most useful questions.
How long does the Entry Options Study take?
Typically two to three weeks from an initial briefing conversation with your team. We spend the first week understanding your company's goals and constraints, then produce a draft options matrix for your review in the second week. A final version and roadmap summary follow shortly after. The exact timeline depends on how quickly your team can share background context with us.
Does Northmere provide legal or financial services?
No. Our work focuses on commercial and operational matters — market context, entry structures from a business process perspective, partner identification criteria, and practical set-up considerations. Where legal, accounting, or financial input is needed, we can point you toward well-regarded local professionals, but those relationships are yours to manage directly.
Which markets beyond Thailand do you cover?
Our primary focus is Thailand, where we are based. We also have working familiarity with Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia as adjacent entry considerations that often come up in regional planning conversations. If your situation spans multiple markets, we can discuss what useful context we can offer and where we would recommend you seek other input.
How is the Expansion Advisory Engagement structured?
The engagement runs in a defined phase — typically three to four months — covering the operational set-up period. It includes regular sessions (usually fortnightly), access to us for ad-hoc questions between sessions, introductions to relevant local contacts, and a documented entry plan that captures decisions and next steps. The scope is agreed at the start and adjusted if your situation changes.
