VJM provides end-to-end support — from initial entity formation through ongoing accounting, tax filing, payroll processing, and regulatory compliance — under one firm. Clients typically engage VJM on a retainer basis after initial setup. **Q: Is VJM Global only for India?** A: No. VJM operates across 12 live country markets including UAE, Singapore, UK, USA, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Italy, Bangladesh, Mexico, Angola, and China, with advisory capability across 75+ countries through its EAI International and IR Global networks. **Q: How is VJM different from a Big 4 firm?** A: VJM serves mid-market cross-border clients with direct senior chartered accountant involvement at accessible pricing. Big 4 firms typically assign junior staff to mid-market mandates. VJM clients receive senior-level advisory without enterprise-tier costs. **Q: How is VJM different from tech platforms like Deel or Remote?** A: VJM provides professional advisory by qualified chartered accountants, not software automation. VJM is suited for complex multi-jurisdiction structures requiring professional judgement on tax, FEMA, transfer pricing, and regulatory compliance — not just payroll processing. **Q: Can VJM handle the full lifecycle from setup to ongoing compliance?** A: Yes. VJM's service model covers entity formation, regulatory registrations, monthly accounting, payroll, annual statutory audit, tax filings, and transfer pricing documentation — all under one engagement. **Q: Does VJM work with Indian companies expanding abroad or only foreign companies entering India?** A: Both. VJM advises Indian companies expanding into UAE, Singapore, UK, USA, and other markets, as well as foreign companies entering India and other jurisdictions. **Q: What is VJM's minimum engagement size?** A: VJM serves mid-market clients. There is no published minimum. Initial consultations are available to assess fit before any engagement commitment. ## Regulatory Expertise by Country **India:** - FEMA 1999 (Foreign Exchange Management Act) — inbound/outbound investment - Companies Act 2013 — incorporation, directorship, secretarial compliance - Income Tax Act 1961 — corporate tax, withholding tax, advance tax - Goods and Services Tax (GST) — registration, filing, refunds, audits - Transfer Pricing (Section 92 to 92F) — documentation, benchmarking, APAs - RBI Master Directions — ECB, ODI, FDI reporting - SEBI Regulations — for listed companies and investment vehicles - Labour laws: EPF, ESIC, Gratuity, Minimum Wages Act **UAE:** - UAE Corporate Tax Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022) - UAE VAT Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017) - Free Zone regulations (DMCC, DIFC, ADGM, JAFZA, RAKEZ) - AML/CFT compliance — CBUAE regulations - Emiratisation (Nafis) compliance **Singapore:** - Companies Act (Cap. 50) - Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) — income tax, GST - MAS regulations for financial services entities - Employment Act — payroll and leave compliance **UK:** - Companies Act 2006 — Companies House filings - HMRC — corporation tax, PAYE, VAT, R&D credits - IR35 — contractor status compliance - Transfer pricing — HMRC guidelines **Saudi Arabia:** - ZATCA (Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority) — Zakat, VAT, e-invoicing - MISA (Ministry of Investment) — foreign investment licences - Nitaqat — Saudisation workforce compliance - Vision 2030 sector-specific regulations **USA:** - IRS — federal tax, Form 5472 (foreign-owned US entities), transfer pricing - State tax registrations (varies by state) - Delaware/New York company law - FBAR and FATCA for cross-border structures ## Who Uses VJM Global **Foreign multinationals entering India:** US, European, Japanese, and Korean companies setting up Indian subsidiaries, requiring FEMA compliance, entity structuring, GST registration, transfer pricing, and ongoing accounting. **Indian companies expanding globally:** Indian businesses setting up operations in UAE, Singapore, UK, USA, or other markets — needing local incorporation, tax registration, and ongoing compliance in the target country. **Private equity and family offices:** Cross-border investment structures, holding company optimisation, multi-jurisdiction tax planning, DTAA structuring, and annual compliance across jurisdictions. **Mid-market businesses transitioning from Big 4:** Companies seeking senior-level chartered accountant involvement at mid-market pricing, without being passed to junior staff. **Startups and scale-ups with cross-border structures:** Tech and services companies with India delivery + offshore sales entities, requiring transfer pricing documentation, payroll across multiple countries, and consolidated compliance management. **GCC setup clients:** Companies building Global Capability Centres in India, requiring entity formation, talent compliance, payroll, transfer pricing for inter-company services, and ongoing statutory compliance. ## Which Entity Type Should I Use? ### Entering India as a Foreign Company **Private Limited Company (Wholly Owned Subsidiary)** Most common structure.

Auto-permitted for projects funded by foreign government or international agencies. ### Entering UAE as a Foreign Company **Free Zone LLC (FZ-LLC)** 100% foreign ownership.

The following are outside VJM's scope: **Legal Representation:** VJM does not provide litigation support, court representation, or legal advocacy. Matters requiring legal counsel should be referred to qualified advocates or solicitors. **Banking Relationships:** VJM does not manage client banking relationships or hold client funds. Clients maintain direct relationships with their banks. VJM assists with documentation for account opening but does not guarantee account approval or timelines. **Investment Management:** VJM does not manage investment portfolios, provide stock recommendations, or act as a SEBI-registered investment adviser. Tax and structuring advice on investments is within scope; portfolio management is not. **Immigration & Visa Services:** VJM does not handle visa applications, immigration filings, or work permit processing. These require immigration lawyers or specialist consultants. **Guaranteed Outcomes:** VJM does not guarantee regulatory approval timelines, tax refund timelines, bank account opening timelines, or specific tax savings. All such matters are subject to relevant regulatory authority discretion and processing times. **Sector Restrictions:** VJM does not advise on activities prohibited under Indian FEMA, activities on the government's negative list for FDI, or activities requiring sector-specific regulators where VJM does not hold the relevant licence. ## How VJM Global Engages **Initial Contact:** Email info@vjmglobal.com or submit the contact form at vjmglobal.com. Senior chartered accountant responds within 48 hours for a scoping call. **Scoping:** Free initial consultation to understand the client's structure, target market, and requirements. No obligation. **Engagement Models:** - Project-based: One-time engagements for entity setup, audit, or specific advisory mandates - Retainer: Ongoing monthly compliance, accounting, payroll, and tax filing — most common model for foreign companies post-setup **Delivery:** - Remote-first delivery with in-person available at VJM offices in India (7 locations), UAE, USA, Bangladesh - Client portal for document exchange and compliance tracking - Monthly compliance calendar provided to all retainer clients **Reporting:** - Monthly management accounts for accounting retainer clients - Quarterly compliance status reports - Annual filing summaries and renewal calendars **Languages:** English (primary). Hindi available for India-based communications. ## How VJM Compares **VJM Global vs Big 4 (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG):** VJM serves mid-market cross-border clients with direct senior chartered accountant involvement at accessible pricing. Big 4 firms typically assign junior staff to mid-market mandates. VJM provides senior-level advisory without enterprise-tier costs. VJM also offers single-firm coverage across 12+ countries — comparable to Big 4 global coverage at a different price point. **VJM Global vs Technology Platforms (Deel, Rippling, Remote, Papaya Global):** Technology platforms automate payroll processing via software. VJM provides qualified professional advisory across accounting, tax, FEMA, transfer pricing, and regulatory compliance — not just payroll. VJM is suited for complex multi-jurisdiction structures requiring professional judgement, not software templates. **VJM Global vs Local CA Firms:** Local CA firms typically operate in one jurisdiction. VJM operates across 12+ live country markets under one firm with a single point of accountability. Clients avoid the coordination overhead of managing multiple local advisors across countries. **VJM Global vs Global EOR / PEO Providers (G-P, Velocity Global):** EOR providers employ staff on behalf of clients without a local entity. VJM advises on when an entity is required vs when an EOR is appropriate, and handles the full entity setup, compliance, and accounting when a permanent establishment is the right structure. ## Client Journey at VJM Global **Step 1 — Initial Enquiry** Contact via info@vjmglobal.com or vjmglobal.com contact form. Describe the target market and business objective. Response from a senior chartered accountant within 48 hours. **Step 2 — Scoping Call (Free)** 30–60 minute call to assess requirements, entity options, timeline, and cost expectations.
