Local expertise, exactly where you need it

Each country has its own rules and way of doing business. What works in Belgium is therefore not automatically applicable abroad. Our international contacts put you in touch with experts who have in-depth knowledge of the local market, legislation and business environment.

They support you with, for example:

• the establishment of a foreign company

• international structures and taxation

• local reporting and compliance

• audit and advisory services

• strategic guidance for international growth

This ensures that the advice you receive is not only legally sound, but also practical and effective in the country where you intend to operate. Moreover, you always start from your trusted PIA office in Belgium. After all, your trusted adviser is most familiar with your business, plans and ambitions.

International collaboration with short lines of communication

When operating internationally, the ability to act quickly is essential. That is why our offices maintain close relationships with accountancy, audit and advisory firms in various countries. These relationships are actively maintained through international meetings and knowledge sharing between professionals.

For you, this means:

• swift referrals to the right expertise

• direct lines of communication

• reliable partners on the ground

• smooth collaboration across borders

This enables you to take international steps with confidence.

Foreign entrepreneurs also find their way to Belgium

International collaboration works both ways. Just as we assist Belgian entrepreneurs with their plans abroad, our offices in Belgium are also regularly contacted by foreign companies that wish to invest in Belgium or establish themselves here.

Through our international contacts, entrepreneurs and companies from other countries are referred to PIA offices when they intend to start activities in Belgium.

We assist them with such things as:

• the incorporation of a Belgian company

• fiscal and legal obligations in Belgium

• local reporting, compliance and audit

• the further development of their activities in the Belgian market

In this way, we help foreign entrepreneurs navigate the Belgian business landscape with ease.

How does this work in practice?

Imagine that you wish to invest in a hotel project in Spain.

You discuss your plans with your PIA adviser in Belgium. Together, we review the fiscal and financial impact of your project. We then put you in contact with a local Spanish firm that assists you with incorporation, regulations and reporting on the ground.

This keeps you from having to search for an accountant or adviser abroad yourself. We help you find the right partner and ensure that everything remains properly aligned.
