1. Understand the local market

Success depends on more than market size. Regulation, demand, partners, and the way decisions are made change from one capital to the next. The first reading is who grants a licence, who can pay, and what a first contract actually requires.

The right local relationships open the rooms that a desk study cannot. Partners, institutions, and advisers have to be chosen for the specific market, not copied from the last one.

3. Manage risk and compliance
