落地

The Johor-Singapore SEZ has redrawn the cost-and-talent map of Southeast Asia. We help operators land in the corridor with a structure that captures both sides of the border. 柔佛—新加坡经济特区重新画定了东南亚的成本与人才地图。我们帮助企业在新马走廊落地,用一套架构同时拿到两端的优势。

Open up overseas market opportunity. Master the target environment.开拓海外市场先机。
精确掌握目标环境。

Through Guo Jun's on-the-ground research and deal-team site visits, we help clients translate macro data into a concrete business path — from market sizing and partner introductions to physical setup and ongoing operating support. The work is designed for businesses that need to move into the JS-SEZ quickly, but not loosely. 通过 Guo Jun 的实地调研与项目团队现场考察,我们把宏观数据落到一条具体的业务路径上——从市场规模、合作方对接到落地搭建与持续运营支持。我们为需要快速进入 JS-SEZ、但不能粗放推进的企业服务。

Most clients arrive with one of two questions: "Should we run our production from Johor with our HQ in Singapore?" or "We've made the decision — how do we set this up cleanly the first time?" Both ends of that spectrum are routine for us. 大多数客户来时只带两个问题中的一个:"总部留新加坡、生产放柔佛——值得吗?"或"已经决定——怎样一次性把它搭对?"光谱两端的事,对我们都是常规。

Why JS-SEZ核心优势与机遇

Four reasons the corridor matters now.这条走廊为何值得现在切入。

01
Singapore+1 strategy"新加坡+1" 战略

Two jurisdictions, one operating system.两个法域,一套运营体系。

Keep R&D, headquarters and IP in Singapore — its institutional standards and treaty network. Move production, warehousing and labour-intensive operations to Johor where land and labour are a fraction of the cost. The two operate as one business across a friendly, well-defined border. 研发、总部、知识产权留在新加坡——保留它的机构级标准与税收协定网络。把生产、仓储与劳动密集型环节放到柔佛,土地与人力成本是新加坡的一个零头。两端通过一个友好、规则明确的边界,作为同一家企业运营。

02
Geography & cost地理与成本

Adjacent, connected, materially cheaper.相邻、互联,成本更低。

Johor sits directly across the strait from Singapore. The new Rapid Transit System (RTS) link makes daily commuting practical for management and key staff. Operating costs — land, electricity, labour — run materially below Singapore equivalents, while supply-chain access remains essentially the same. 柔佛与新加坡仅一海之隔。新马快速通勤系统(RTS)让管理层与核心员工的每日通勤变得务实。运营成本——土地、电力、人力——显著低于新加坡,而供应链可达性几乎相同。

03
Preferential policy优惠政策

Tax, customs and talent — designed in.税务、通关、人才——制度化设计。

The SEZ provides preferential tax treatment for qualifying investments, dedicated customs procedures (including passport-free border crossing for SEZ workers), and skill-training incentives for Malaysian and foreign employees. Each of these is a small line item until you stack them — together they reshape the unit economics. 特区对合资格投资提供特殊的税务安排,专用通关程序(包括 SEZ 员工免护照通关),以及面向马来西亚与外籍员工的技能培训奖励。单看每一项都是小数,叠在一起就改写了单位经济模型。

04
Financial support金融支持

Banking that already works across the border.已经跨境跑通的银行体系。

Major regional banks — UOB, OCBC, DBS and Malaysian peers — have built corridor-specific products to support SGD–MYR settlement, FDI inflow and bilateral working-capital lines. Capital does not get stuck waiting for a regulator to figure out what your structure is. 主要区域银行——大华(UOB)、华侨(OCBC)、星展(DBS)以及马来本地同业——已为这条走廊设计专门产品,支持新元—马币结算、跨境直接投资资金与双边运营资金额度。资金不会因监管机构看不懂你的架构而被卡住。

What We Do具体业务

From feasibility to first shipment.从可行性到首单出货。

01

Feasibility & market study可行性与市场研究

Operator-level analysis: addressable market, competitive landscape, talent supply, infrastructure constraints, and total cost of operating in the corridor versus alternatives.从运营视角出发:可达市场、竞争格局、人才供给、基础设施约束,以及在走廊运营 vs. 备选方案的总成本比较。

02

Site selection & partner introductions选址与合作方对接

Industrial park comparison (Iskandar Puteri, Pengerang, Senai, others), introductions to vetted contractors, lawyers, accountants and recruiting partners. We don't farm out — relationships are direct.园区对比(依斯干达公主城、边佳兰、士乃等),对接经过我们筛选的承建商、律师、会计师、招聘伙伴。我们不外包——关系都是直连的。

03

Cross-border structure跨境架构搭建

Singapore Pte Ltd as HQ, Malaysian Sdn Bhd as the operating subsidiary, with the right intercompany agreements, transfer-pricing posture and IP arrangement. Designed once, defended quietly for years.新加坡 Pte Ltd 作为总部,马来西亚 Sdn Bhd 作为经营子公司,配以恰当的关联交易协议、转让定价立场与知识产权安排。一次设计,多年沉默地经得起审视。

04

Banking & capital flow开户与资金流动

Multi-currency accounts on both sides; SGD–MYR settlement lines; FDI inflow documentation; ongoing cash-management discipline so neither entity becomes capital-starved at month-end.两端多币种账户;新元—马币结算额度;跨境直接投资资金到账文件;月底两端均不会缺血的现金管理纪律。

05

Talent & mobilization人才与启动

Employment passes for HQ staff, Malaysian work permits for operations staff, SEZ-specific commuter pass support, and recruitment of the first operating team.总部员工的就业准证、运营员工的马来工作准证、SEZ 通勤证支持、首批运营团队的招聘。

06

Stewardship长期跟踪

Ongoing compliance, statutory filings, policy-change monitoring, and quarterly operating review. The mandate continues after launch — not a switch we throw and walk away.持续合规、法定申报、政策变化监测、季度运营复盘。受托关系在启动之后继续——不是按下开关就走人。

FAQ常见问题

Common questions.常被问到的问题。

How long does landing typically take?典型的落地周期多久?
For a clean greenfield setup — Singapore HQ + Malaysian operating company + banking + first hires — six to nine months is realistic. Asset-acquisition variants (buying an existing Malaysian operator) can move faster, but the diligence phase grows accordingly. 对于干净的新设落地——新加坡总部 + 马来经营公司 + 开户 + 首批招聘——六到九个月是务实预期。如果走资产并购路径(收购既有马来运营方),落地更快,但尽调阶段会相应变长。
Why use the SEZ versus just setting up in Johor directly?为什么用 SEZ 而不是直接在柔佛设立?
You can set up directly. The SEZ adds a meaningful layer of policy benefits — specific tax incentives, customs simplifications, talent-attraction tools — that compound over years. For sub-scale or short-horizon operations the difference may be small. For medium-term operating businesses the difference is the entire return profile. 当然可以直接设立。SEZ 多出来的是一层有意义的政策红利——专项税收激励、通关简化、人才吸引工具——这些在多年里复利。对小规模或短周期运营,差异可能不显著。对中期经营性业务,差异就是整张回报曲线。
Do we have to keep our HQ in Singapore?总部必须留在新加坡吗?
Not necessarily. The "Singapore+1" framing fits most clients we see, but variations exist — Hong Kong+Johor, Mainland China+Johor, US LLC+Johor, and others. The right shape depends on where your customers are, where your investors are, and how cleanly each layer needs to defend itself. 不一定。"新加坡+1"是我们看到的多数客户都适用的框架,但确实有变体:香港+柔佛、内地+柔佛、美国 LLC+柔佛等。正确形态取决于客户在哪、投资人在哪、以及每一层需要多干净地经得起审视。
How are you compensated?你们的费用结构是怎样的?
Mandate-specific. Typical engagements combine a fixed advisory fee for the structuring phase and an ongoing monthly retainer once operations begin. We do not earn anything that depends on a single decision being made — that is by design. 按受托事务个案确定。典型项目由架构搭建阶段的固定顾问费 + 运营启动后的持续月度服务费组成。我们的收入不与任何单次决策挂钩——这是刻意设计。
