Five risks you shouldn't ignore
In the defense industry, success is not just about innovation—it’s about recognising risks early on. We prepare you.
Risk 1: Export Control
Incorrect documents can stop your technology before it even leaves the factory. Classification as dual-use is complex—mistakes cost time, money, and reputation. Quick check: Do you know which of your products are considered dual-use? Is your export license procedure watertight?
Risk 2: Pitfalls in Tenders
Defense tenders are merciless. A missing clause—and your offer will be sorted out before it is read. Quick check: Are your offers 100% compliant with the award rules? Do your contracts speak the language of government clients?
Risk 3: IP Errors
In defense, technology is your weapon. Whoever loses control of intellectual property loses the competition. Quick check: Are your cooperation agreements clear regarding ownership rights? Is your intellectual property protected internationally—not just locally?
Risk 4: Tax Traps
The wrong structure means double taxation, lost subsidies, and regulatory problems. Quick check: Can your foreign activities trigger hidden tax liabilities? Are you taking advantage of all the R&D funding and defense grants you are entitled to?
Risk 5: Investors
Financing, partnerships, acquisitions—they start with critical questions. If your compliance is not complete, deals fall through. Quick check: Can you present investor-ready financial data tomorrow? Do you have a clear compliance roadmap?
