International Business Landing Service

What International Business Landing Service does

International Business Landing Service (IBLS) is a private global-expansion consulting and execution firm founded in 2024, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, and operated through HME Production Oy. The company serves businesses — primarily startups, growth-stage companies, and funded scale-ups with $15M-$200M in revenue — that are seeking to enter or scale in international markets, with particular emphasis on the Nordics and broader Europe. IBLS delivers a five-step methodology (Discover, Plan, Localize, Launch, Scale) through three core offerings: a Strategy service for market intelligence and entry planning, an Execution service that embeds senior operators on-site during launch, and an Adaptative Ecosystem of customized solutions. Engagement budgets range from €50,000 for lean asset-light approaches to over €1,000,000 for full entity builds, with multi-year contracts and performance-based fee options.

IBLS monetizes almost exclusively through professional services engagements — consulting fees, scoped packages, and performance-based arrangements — supplemented by a newer Wealth Funding Solution that provides capital-raising, EBITDA optimization, and exit planning for funded scale-ups. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and consultative: free 30–45 minute consultations and a Global Expansion Assessment form are used to qualify leads, after which customized multi-year engagements are scoped. Distribution relies on direct enterprise sales (with embedded operator delivery) and inside-sales consultation, supported by organic content marketing (Global Expansion Playbook) and social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook).

The firm's underlying technology consists of AI-assisted market-analytics tools and a "True Cost Model" scenario engine, layered onto a curated partner network spanning 76+ countries that includes the German Chamber of Commerce (AHK Finland), Bring, AddWeb Solution, and the affiliated Nordic BLS group. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is described as transparent and tiered. IBLS operates with 11–50 employees, has no disclosed institutional funding, no patents or trademarks, and no public regulatory actions or M&A activity on record.

Direct peers

• Deel: Deel provides global hiring, payroll, and compliance infrastructure for companies expanding internationally. It competes with IBLS in the operational layer of market entry, particularly the Execution Service component for entity setup and talent onboarding.
• Velocity Global: Velocity Global provides international PEO and entity setup services for companies expanding abroad. It overlaps directly with IBLS's Full Entity Build tier and global compliance support offering.
• Remote: Remote offers a global employment platform for hiring, paying, and managing international teams. Comparable to IBLS's Execution Service for companies seeking to staff quickly in new markets, though delivered through proprietary software rather than embedded operators.
• Multiplier: Multiplier delivers global employment, payroll, and contractor management across 150+ countries. Comparable to IBLS's execution-oriented expansion services, particularly for mid-market clients seeking a tech-enabled alternative to traditional consulting.
• Globalization Partners: Globalization Partners is a leading international expansion platform helping companies hire and operate in new countries. It is directly comparable to IBLS in the cross-border market-entry and operational setup space, though at much larger scale and via software-led delivery.

Emerging players

• Startup Genome: Startup Genome supports startup ecosystem development and global expansion through research and policy programs. It overlaps thematically with IBLS's expansion advisory focus on growth-stage companies, particularly tech and deep tech sectors.

Broad incumbents

• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): BCG provides strategy consulting including market entry and international growth advisory. It is a broad incumbent competing with IBLS for enterprise-level expansion strategy work, with deeper bench and established case studies.
• McKinsey & Company: McKinsey advises multinational corporations on strategy, including market entry and global expansion. It overlaps with IBLS's Strategy Service at the high end of the market and represents the dominant incumbent against which boutique expansion advisors compete.
• Deloitte (Global Expansion Services): Deloitte's Global Expansion Services help enterprises establish operations in new markets with consulting, tax, and legal support. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering overlapping with IBLS's Strategy and Execution services, but at much larger scale and broader scope.

Others

• World Trade Centers Association: WTCA is a global network of trade-facilitation organizations supporting international business expansion. Comparable to IBLS in mission and bilateral trade support, functioning as an enabling network rather than a direct competitor.
