What We Do

Built for cross-border complexity

Each service below solves a distinct problem on its own. Run together, they cover a company from the day it decides to enter a market to the day the deal closes.

Tax Strategy & Property Tax Consulting

Texas and several other no-income-tax states make up for it with higher property and sales taxes — a trade-off most incoming investors don’t see coming until the first bill arrives. We negotiate directly with the counties and appraisal districts that set those numbers.

This practice serves Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chinese companies, along with other Asian investors, entering or expanding U.S. operations. Active work spans Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan, and Ohio, led by Colin Yoon’s role as Executive Advisor to ITC Tax.

  • Property tax appeal and abatement review for new U.S. facilities
  • Sales tax exemption and incentive structuring for manufacturers
  • Multi-state tax exposure review for companies entering Georgia, Tennessee, Michigan, and Ohio

Insurance, Risk & Benefits Advisory

Regulations shift, markets swing, and exposure surfaces from directions no management team fully anticipates. Insurance and risk mitigation are the difference between absorbing that and being sunk by it.

We design property & casualty, employee benefits, workers’ compensation, and health insurance programs that scale with the enterprise, guided by Colin Yoon’s role as Executive Advisor to Hylant Insurance.

Strategic Business Development

We build and advise on ventures across the semiconductor and advanced-materials supply chain, connecting companies and raw-material partners — including relationships adjacent to SKC and TSMC — across Asia and the United States, and structuring partnerships built to outlast the initial deal.

Current Pipeline
  • Semiconductor-related raw material investment and development projects
  • Asian manufacturer site-selection and supply-chain partnerships in the U.S.

Mergers, Acquisitions & Strategic Investment

We source targets, structure the transaction, and stay through execution — matching capital with the right opportunity across Asia, the United States, and Europe, with particular depth in K-beauty and cosmetics. We inform the decision; the outcome is never guaranteed.

Current Pipeline
  • K-beauty and cosmetics investment and acquisition opportunities in Europe
  • Cross-border M&A structuring for strategic, high-growth targets

Strategic Cross-Border Consulting

Cross-border consulting delivered personally, not through a junior team — drawing on decades in corporate leadership, global banking, and management consulting, and on a network of partners, counsel, and counterparties built the same way relationships always have been: over time.

Global E-Commerce Sourcing Platform

General marketplaces bury serious buyers in noise. This platform skips that: global buyers connect directly with vetted Asian manufacturers and suppliers for strategic, high-value items, with quality, pricing, and compliance already verified.

Launch categories draw on Colin Yoon’s existing sourcing and manufacturing relationships across Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China — semiconductor components and advanced materials, K-beauty and consumer goods, and select industrial and specialty products.

Planned Launch Categories
  • Semiconductor components, raw materials, and advanced manufacturing supplies from qualified Asian producers
  • K-beauty, cosmetics, and consumer goods with pre-verified quality standards
  • Additional industrial and specialty categories added as new manufacturer partnerships are vetted
