Expand your company to Australia
We help international companies launch in Australia and seize local market opportunities from day one.
AS FEATURED ON:
Thinking of expanding to Australia and wondering where to start?
The global commercial environment is competitive — and Australia is no exception. But with strong trade ties across the Indo-Pacific, a network of free trade agreements covering more than 80% of global GDP, and renewed government incentives for advanced manufacturing, clean energy and digital innovation, Australia offers fertile ground for ambitious international firms.
A successful market entry down under still requires momentum, capital and flawless execution — you can’t afford too many mistakes.
Australia remains an open and transparent market, but it also comes with its share of local customs, cultural quirks and regulatory nuances. To succeed, you need to understand the landscape, know who to talk to, and get the right advice.

Our Clients
What our clients say
Working with Dearin & Associates made our Australian trade mission a standout success. Their structured, hands-on approach—from assessing market readiness to refining our pitch and facilitating high-value buyer meetings—gave each participating company the tools and connections needed to enter the market with confidence. The team’s deep local insight and proactive support delivered immediate results in leads, visibility, and clear pathways to market entry, setting a strong foundation for our Singaporean brands’ expansion into Australia.
Enterprise Singapore
We had an outstanding experience working with Dearin & Associates. The team was amicable and TSC was able to speak freely and brainstorm through problems to affect solutions. We were able to move from an abstract concept to a concrete strategy in just a few sessions, culminating with Dearin successfully executing the first phase of the plan.
We would absolutely recommend Dearin & Associates. They are an intelligent, well-networked, forward leaning team with a focus on obtaining results for their clients. The team at Dearin was able to come up with a creative solution to an abstract problem and leverage their regional network to succeed where TSC working alone would have failed.

Partnering with Dearin & Associates made it possible for Smart Rider to expand beyond Europe with clarity and confidence. Their data-driven approach pinpointed Australia as the ideal launch market, and within six months we had secured a partnership with the country’s leading equine retailer. Thanks to D&A’s expertise and structured process, we entered the Oceania market strategically and efficiently—laying the groundwork for continued international growth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Insights into doing business in Australia
Australia has a number of major cities, but you may be unsure which one makes most sense for your business. The answer depends on what type of business you operate, and what your requirements are.
Sydney and Melbourne are diverse economic hubs that support a wide range of industries, from banking, finance and professional services, to food and beverage, aviation and logistics.
Smaller cities like Brisbane and Adelaide have a more laid back environment, and are appealling to startups. Places like the Gold Coast are highly tourism oriented, and a great place to start if you re operating in the tourism or outdoor industries. While Perth seems remote on the Western coast of Australia, it is proximate to the mining and agricultural industries, so a great place to expand to if you offer services that are complementary to those industries.
Don’t forget about inland and regional Australia while the majority of Australia’s population lives in coastal cities, many regional cities and towns offer incentives for business to expand there.
Overall, proximity to suppliers, customers and skilled labor is essential to your company’s succcess in Australia. Our team at Dearin & Associates specializes in guiding companies through this decision making process, and can help you find the most strategic location to suit your specific needs.
Your market entry strategy can make or break your business, and it’s important that you get it right, first time around. Australia operates differently to your home market, and selecting a market entry strategy requires a nuanced understanding of your business goals, industry dynamics and the local market landscape.
Market entry options in Australia range from establishing a wholly owned subsidiary with full control over your operations, to working with a local distributor, or forming strategic partnerships or joint ventures with local firms that align with your business goals. Conducting a market assessment and leveraging Dearin & Associates’ expertise can help you tailor a strategy to ensure you succeed.
Australian law and business culture are different to what you ve experienced elsewhere, and you may be not confident that you understand the environment well enough to get the negotiation outcomes you need.
As a general rule of thumb, Australian business people value direct communication and transparency, so being honest and open in your dealings is key. You should also familiarize yourself with Australian business laws and regulations to ensure compliance. Dearin & Associates can support you in negotiations and act on your behalf to maximize your chances of success.
