About

Why We Exist

Cross-border expansion is broken.

Companies spend months researching new markets, hiring consultants, building strategies. Then they arrive and realize the real work has barely started. The introductions don't happen. The meetings go nowhere. Cultural gaps turn small misunderstandings into dead deals.

We started SSP because we'd seen it too many times: smart companies with solid products failing not because of their offering, but because they lacked the right local partner.

Our Difference

We don't leave after the strategy deck. We pick up the phone, make the introductions, sit in the meetings, and stay until deals are signed.

Thailand: The ASEAN Hub

Why companies choose Thailand as their expansion base—and how we help

🇨🇳

For Chinese Companies

Thailand offers ASEAN manufacturing with established Chinese business networks. We facilitate entry by working with Chinese-speaking partners to bridge communication while handling Thai-side partner vetting, BOI navigation, and IP protection.

🇸🇬

For Singapore Companies

Thailand provides lower costs and a large talent pool for service expansion. Whether you're setting up a branch, hiring a local team, or extending your services into Thailand, we help you build operations that satisfy your board. Same approach works for Hong Kong and Malaysia-based companies expanding here.

🇲🇾

For Malaysian Businesses

Cultural proximity and strong bilateral trade make Thailand a natural expansion market. We help you navigate the border and build partnerships that work.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇺

For Western Companies

Thailand offers the most English-friendly ASEAN entry point with established legal frameworks. We help you translate Western expectations into Thai business reality.

🚀

For Foreign Startups & SaaS

Thailand has a growing tech ecosystem and English-speaking early adopters. We help you land pilot customers, localize your offering, and find distribution partners—often without requiring full entity setup until you have revenue.

🇹🇭

For Thai Companies

Expand internationally with a partner who understands Thai business culture and has worked in the markets you're entering.

We're for companies who:

  • Are expanding across ASEAN borders and need regional expertise
  • Need China-Thailand business facilitation in either direction
  • Have outgrown DIY market entry but aren't ready for Big 4 budgets
  • Need more than advice—they need someone to actually make the calls
  • Care about results more than reports

Our Principles

1

Execution beats analysis.

A good plan executed today beats a perfect plan next quarter.

2

Relationships are the real moat.

Markets are made of people. We invest in genuine relationships, not transactional networking.

3

Cultural fluency is a competitive advantage.

Understanding how business works in different contexts prevents costly mistakes.

4

Transparency builds trust.

We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

5

Our success is tied to yours.

When we engage, we're committed to your outcomes—not just our deliverables.

6

Bias toward action.

We believe the best advisory relationship is one where the advisor is so integrated into your success that you forget they're external.
