Yes — first-time market entry is our core specialty. We start every engagement with a discovery call to understand your industry and goals, then scope a market research phase before any commitments are made.

Every engagement begins with a compliance review specific to your country, sector, and the goods or services involved. We only proceed within a structure that is compliant with the applicable regulations, and we recommend clients also confirm requirements with legal counsel in their home jurisdiction.

It depends on the sector, but as a general guide: market research and opportunity mapping take 4–6 weeks, local partner vetting adds another 3–5 weeks, and formal registration or investment structuring typically follows over 2–4 months.

In many sectors, yes. Iran’s Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Act (FIPPA) permits full foreign ownership and guarantees capital repatriation in eligible projects. Some strategic sectors have additional conditions, which we review case by case.

No — the early stages (market research, opportunity identification, initial partner introductions) can be handled remotely. A visit typically becomes useful once you’re ready for site visits, exhibitions, or signing agreements, and our CIP Concierge service can arrange that trip end to end.

We advise each client on payment structures that are workable within current banking and compliance constraints, based on your country of origin and sector. This is assessed individually during the compliance review, as the correct approach varies significantly by case.

We currently see the most active interest in energy and upstream equity, coastal tourism and free-trade zone development, mining, agriculture, and light manufacturing. Our Investment Opportunities page lists specific, vetted projects we’re tracking.

Yes — partner sourcing and due diligence is one of our most requested services. We check business licensing, financial standing, and market reputation before making any introduction, and we stay involved through negotiation if you’d like.

Airport meet-and-greet, private transport, temporary office space, professional interpreters, and day-to-day logistics for executives visiting Iran — so your team can focus on meetings rather than arrangements.

Cost and timeline depend on the sector and scope you need covered. After a short discovery call we provide a fixed quote and delivery date up front — most reports are delivered within 3–5 weeks.

Yes — we handle booth design, registration, logistics, and can also arrange curated industrial tours around the exhibition dates so your visit is productive beyond the show floor itself.

We only advise clients on structures that operate within the applicable sanctions and compliance framework for their jurisdiction. Every situation is different, so this is assessed individually — we recommend treating this as the first question in any discovery call, not an afterthought.

FIPPA is the primary legal framework and provides guarantees on fair treatment, capital repatriation, and compensation in the event of expropriation for licensed foreign investments. We walk clients through how it applies to their specific project as part of the investment advisory process.

Yes — our team works in Persian, English, and Arabic, and we provide professional interpreters for meetings, site visits, and negotiations whenever needed.
