Doing Business in Korea? Here’s One Agency That Can Help You Land Smoothly

Thinking about starting a business in Korea or expanding your overseas operations here?

You’re not alone. Korea is a top destination for global founders, investors, and small businesses aiming to tap into Asia’s fourth-largest economy. But as many discover the hard way, entering the Korean market isn’t easy — especially when it comes to setup, compliance, and scaling.

That’s why we’ve started curating a Business Directory and creating a free eBook to help expats, investors, and entrepreneurs understand the real steps to launching in Korea — from incorporation and taxes to local hiring and exit strategies.

And one of the standout firms we discovered is:

KEA – Korea Expansion Agency

KEA isn’t your average business consultancy. They’re a one-stop solution for market entry, operations support, and even market exit if needed — all under one roof.

Their CEO, Byungchul (B.C.) Lee, has helped hundreds of foreign businesses navigate Korean bureaucracy and thrive. With over 20 years of cross-border consulting experience, he and his team offer services such as:

✅ Incorporation support and entity setup
✅ Bookkeeping and tax filing
✅ Local director services
✅ Payroll and labor compliance
✅ Market entry and exit strategy
✅ Singapore/Korea hybrid structuring

No matter if you’re a U.S.-based entrepreneur looking to open in Seoul, or a Singaporean startup expanding into Korea, KEA brings deep local expertise and international insight.

Why We’re Highlighting KEA

We run the Every Expat in Korea platform — with 100,000+ members and over 400,000 monthly visitors. Our inbox is full of questions from people asking:

“Who can I trust to help me open a business in Korea?”
“Can someone help me understand the tax rules before I launch?”

KEA stood out in our research because they combine technical expertise with global professionalism, making them a great option not just for expats already in Korea — but for anyone researching Korea as a target market.

Coming Soon: Our Business eBook & Directory

We’re currently working on a free Korea Business Starter eBook, packed with key tips on:

• Market entry checklists
• Legal & tax must-knows
• Foreign ownership pitfalls
• Trusted service providers (like KEA)

We’re also building a vetted Business Directory that will include recommended legal, tax, HR, and strategy consultants.
