- Delivered with partners Executed by local partners, coordinated and quality-tracked by LINODA
The judgement we provide
- Real all-in cost across economic zones and industrial parks (land/rent, power, water, logistics, labour, taxes);
- How foreign equity limits and sector rules are actually applied;
- Realistic timelines for incorporation and permits, not official minimums;
- Critical path and common blockers for plant construction and commissioning;
- Types, capabilities and risks of local partners.
Principles
Every cost and timeline is tagged with its source and reference date. Tax and legal characterisation is issued formally by local accountants or counsel; we organise and coordinate.
What is not included
- Investment recommendations or feasibility endorsement
- Legal opinions, tax planning and audit (by local counsel and accountants)
- Land or facility brokerage and title guarantees
- Government relations promises or incentive eligibility guarantees
- Cross-border funding arrangements and FX compliance schemes
Steps and timeline
Timelines are indicative and depend on authority scheduling, counterparty availability and document completeness.
Deliverables
With sources and collection dates, in conservative/base/optimistic cases
Photos, infrastructure conditions and constraints
With prerequisites and high-risk blockers

Risks and what to prepare
| Power cost underestimated | Industrial tariffs include basic and demand charges; model on actual bills, not averages |
|---|---|
| Inter-island logistics ignored | Archipelago freight can erase ex-works advantage |
| Uncertain compliance timelines | Environmental, fire and local permits loop on community issues; allow 2–4 months |
| Labour efficiency | Minimum wage is only the start; add recruitment, training, turnover and commuting |
| FX and capital cost | Peso moves hit equipment purchase and repatriation; set an assumption range |
| Foreign equity limits | Some sectors cap below 100%; poor structuring blocks later permits |

Frequently asked
Do you only cover the Philippines?
Our local execution capability is currently concentrated in the Philippines, our first market. China-side scoping, supply chain coordination and project management can support other markets, but local execution is assessed case by case.
How soon will someone contact me after I submit an inquiry?
Messages received during business hours are usually answered within 2 hours; complex requirements get a scoping call within one business day. Every inquiry receives a reference number and is tracked internally.
Can you guarantee incentive eligibility for investment projects?
No. Eligibility is determined by the competent authority against project conditions. We compare conditions, prepare documents and coordinate process, and state uncertainties and fallback routes explicitly.
How long does incorporation take?
It depends on entity type, sector permits and foreign exchange registration; 6–12 weeks is common in practice, longer with special sector licences. We provide a buffered timeline before kick-off and update weekly.
