that show how we work.
Each case is real. Names and identifying details are removed; everything else, the industry, the region, the structural challenge, the timeline, the outcome, is what actually happened. The patterns repeat.

Berlin SaaS scales engineering into Moldova IT Park, MITP placement and twenty-two hires in a year.
A Series-A B2B SaaS firm needed to scale engineering from twelve to forty without taking on Berlin-rate salaries. Tallinn was option A; Lisbon option B; Chișinău emerged late. The MITP 7% turnover regime, the senior dev pool, the time-zone overlap, and the cost made it the right call. We structured the Moldovan subsidiary, secured MITP residency, opened EUR + MDL banking at Maib, and coordinated investor residence permits for two non-EU senior hires.

Italian textile manufacturer sets up FEZ production in Bălți, DCFTA-tariff-free shipping into Germany.
An €18M Lombardy textile firm faced energy-cost pressure and EU-customer lead-time penalties. Closing Italian production was off the table; adding a Moldovan FEZ production line was on. We set up the Moldovan SRL as FEZ resident, structured the cut-make-trim contract with the Italian parent, secured VAT suspension on raw-material imports for re-export, and managed BMA filings for two Italian production managers relocating to oversee setup.

Continuity
Origin, Kyiv
03
Kyiv fintech relocates operations to Chișinău under wartime conditions, twenty-two staff resettled in six months.
A pre-war €3M ARR Kyiv payments firm needed operational continuity from early 2022. We structured a Moldovan SRL with Ukrainian-national founders via POA (founders did not have to leave Ukraine to incorporate), coordinated enhanced due diligence on bank account opening, arranged employment-based residence for eighteen staff, and managed the licensing review with CNPF on payments-adjacent activity classification.

A note on confidentiality. We do not name clients in public materials. Industry, region, structural challenge, timeline, and outcome are real; identifying figures and product details are removed. Where a client wishes to be cited by name, we add a permission-confirmed reference on a case-by-case basis.
