Why are you opening an office in Singapore?
The Company is now opening an office in Singapore, taking advantage of the economic growth throughout S.E. Asia. Singapore is known as the gateway to Asia, a country with a stable economy, great government, and a strong legal system. It also has the largest concentration of Family Offices in the world. These qualities are some of the reasons O’Neill Capital Advisors opened an office there. The RCEP, known as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, is a “FREE-Trade” zone with 15 countries; Singapore’s membership provides businesses tariff-free with access to 1/3 of the world’s population within these growing economies. The problem we are solving is smaller businesses have no real Asian strategy; the answer we set forth is to help those entities get a foothold in Asia. We believe O’Neill Capital Advisors' presence in Singapore can assist US and SE Asian entities who would like to expand operations in these areas. In the following months, O’Neill Capital Advisors will assist Asian businesses with public listings in the USA through SPACs – Special Purpose Acquisitions Companies.
Can Early Stage US-based companies benefit from the Asian Markets?
We help US-based early-stage companies set up in Singapore that positions them strategically to take advantage of the significant amount of Government support. Grants, Matching investment funds and many government associations help early-stage companies access capital for R&D, Sales and Marketing and ultimately expansion into the region, leveraging the RCEP/Largest Free Trade Zone in the world. These are amongst the fastest-growing markets in the world and the companies that can position themselves to take advantage of these markets will be well positioned for long-term success.
