AFT Global® is a Paris-based advisory firm supporting companies in structuring and executing their entry into France and the European market.
The focus is not only on market access, but on decision quality, sequencing, and operational readiness, ensuring that expansion is grounded in validated assumptions and clear ownership.
The approach combines policy-informed frameworks with hands-on execution, bridging decision-making, administrative set-up, and coordination across partners.
Decision & risk-gating (go/no-go)
Define decision criteria, run a readiness check, identify critical blockers and non-negotiables, propose mitigation options, and deliver a short decision brief.
France/EU operating set-up (sequenced pathway)
Design and drive the set-up sequence and coordinate the ecosystem through practical go-live (administrative readiness, banking pathway, partner onboarding, and operational launch).
Execution coordination (light PMO)
Coordinate stakeholders, run a weekly cadence, unblock issues, document decisions, and provide crisp progress reporting.
WORKING METHOD — Simple, measurable
- Frame: Objectives, constraints, decision criteria
- Diagnose: Risks, gaps, priorities (evidence-based)
- Plan: 30–60–90 day sequence, owners, milestones
- Execute: Coordination + reporting + decision log
