The investment opportunities and growth potential between Australia and Asia are significant. For Australian businesses looking for growth it can mean exporting, outsourcing, re-locating operations, or finding new markets for their products and services. For Asian businesses, the stability of the Australian economy and opportunities from a broad range of Australian industries makes it a secure and attractive destination for investment.

Grant Thornton works with Asian businesses looking to invest in Australia, as well as advising Australian companies on their outbound investments into Asia.

By delivering a combination of technical excellence, with personalised advice that not only reflects a deep understanding of your business, your industry and ambitions but also an in-depth knowledge and connection with the jurisdiction in which you want to invest, we help set our clients up for success.

A localised solution on the ground

Our aligned global Grant Thornton network includes 85 regional offices throughout Asia. We are across all legislative and fiscal changes and upcoming trends in the countries in which our clients plan to operate or invest. We take a long-term view of your strategic goals and help develop the best path and structures for achieving your ambitions.

Our approach is unique and is focused on your success. We have experts who specifically understand the nature of doing business and investing in key markets such as China, Japan, Singapore and the ASEAN region, and India.

By engaging with our Grant Thornton team, you will have access to the expertise you need with a single point of contact. Our Asia experts provide you with a relationship leader who can bridge the gap, connecting you to the right people, teams and resources you need to make your international strategy a success. In addition, our Grant Thornton Australian leaders are closely aligned with the key regional financial centres of Hong Kong and Singapore, underpinned by financial investments and board and advisory support to our Grant Thornton firms in those locations.

Case study: Restructuring Solutions for China-based owners of Australian subsidiary companies and assets

When it comes to business-changing decisions, organisations can find themselves too close to a matter to objectively identify the most commercially-successful path to take. Added complications can arise when key stakeholders not only have differing expectations, but also cultural ones too.

An Australian subsidiary of a Chinese-owned group engaged Grant Thornton to undertake an independent diagnostic report. There were many factors at play: from complex financial and internal structures, and differing strategic ambitions, to cultural and language barriers between the company and its parent. The business required this complete independent review to be able to make commercially-sound decisions for all stakeholders.
