Headquarters decides on Czechia. I carry it out on the ground.
The market report may be approved in Seoul while emails to Czech companies go unanswered. The work then starts with market research for your product. On the ground I work in Czech, and headquarters gets its reports in Korean. Company setup and staff residence run through the same contact.
Who this is for
- You are a Korean manufacturer looking at Czechia for supply, assembly or distribution.
- A customer or group affiliate is taking you into Central Europe.
- There is a market report, but nobody in Czechia to act on it.
- Your Czech entity is registered, with no local staff yet.
- HR in Korea plans to send staff to Czechia.
How it runs
Step by step, in the order it happens.
- 01
Market research
I look at the segment, channels and competitors for your product, including constraints that only show up locally.
- 02
Candidate check
The longlist, the wide first list of candidates, is narrowed against the criteria agreed with headquarters.
- 03
Outreach in Czech
Each candidate hears from me in Czech. I follow up until there is a clear yes or no.
- 04
Meetings and reports
I prepare the agenda and lead the Czech side of the conversation. Headquarters then gets a report in Korean.
- 05
Entity and staff
Once you commit, I coordinate company setup and prepare residence applications for staff. Routine local work then moves to the Czech Operations Desk.
What I handle
These lines become your written scope, confirmed before any work starts.
- Market research, plus a local check of the segment you are targeting.
- Candidates checked against criteria agreed with headquarters in Korean.
- Phone calls and emails in Czech to named decision-makers.
- Meetings arranged and attended, with me speaking Czech to the other side.
- Follow-up after every meeting, reported to headquarters in Korean.
- Company setup coordinated if you decide to establish an entity. A partner lawyer handles the registration.
- Residence permits and Employee Card applications for staff sent by the Korean head office and their families. The Employee Card (zaměstnanecká karta) is the Czech card for living and working in the country.
- Routine local work passed to the Czech Operations Desk once the project phase ends. That is Valtier's ongoing service for local work in Czechia.
What you prepare
Some steps only you can take. Better to know them before you decide.
- Name one decision-maker who can reply at the pace Czech partners expect.
- Send product information, price lists and references that a Czech buyer can see.
- Confirm the criteria that rule a candidate out.
- Decide how far Valtier may speak for you in local talks.
- Obtain the staff documents that only Korean authorities issue.
What I do not do myself
- Legal advice and contract review. A partner lawyer handles these.
- Tax and accounting work, which goes to a tax adviser or accountant.
- A guarantee of signed contracts, sales volumes or investment approval.
- A guarantee of the decision or processing time on residence applications. The Ministry of the Interior (MV ČR) decides those.
- Acting as your sales agent, or commission on your sales.
- Decisions on investment incentives. The relevant Czech authorities make those.
Questions about this service
Is this just interpreting at meetings?
No. The work starts with checking candidates and ends when the open points after a meeting are closed. Interpreting is a small part of it.
The company already has a Czech entity. Is this still relevant?
It can be. An entity with no local staff still needs someone to take calls in Czech and chase suppliers. The Czech Operations Desk covers that.
Do you handle the staff a Korean company sends to Czechia?
Yes. Employee Card applications, residence and family relocation run through the same contact as the commercial work, so HR in Korea deals with one person.
Prices
Know the price before you commit. Government and consular fees are not included, and you pay them at the counter.
