Advisor's note
The bar is foreign-visitor impact - a product mainly serving locals will struggle here even if it's genuinely innovative; be ready to show visitor-number and spend projections in the executive summary. Page verified updated 5 May 2026.
Planning a digitalisation or overseas-expansion project? Those usually run under EDG or MRA, which our team delivers end to end.
