Tricor Group, Asia’s leading provider of integrated business, corporate and investor services, has today announced its strategic alliance with global expansion experts Fitzgerald & Law, to enable US companies to enter both European and Asian markets with ease.

From their shared base in San Francisco, the two companies will collaborate on their sales and marketing efforts across the US – helping clients to accelerate expansion into key markets.

This strategic alliance will streamline all cross-border services including company formation, global payroll, international accounting, tax and HR.

Charles Ferguson, Chief Commercial Officer at Tricor said, “We support over 30,000 customers, many of whom are headquartered in the US and our alliance with Fitzgerald & Law ensures our clients have access to the high level of service and support in Europe that they’re accustomed to with Tricor in Asia.

We are delighted to be creating this strategic alliance with Tricor, the premier provider of international expansion services in Asia. Providing our clients with direct access to high quality services and advice in the APAC region will accelerate their global growth strategies.”
