Investor support: frequently asked questions
Do you deal with government officials on our behalf?
We introduce you to official investment facilitation bodies through official channels, prepare you for meetings you request and accompany you to them. You are present at every meeting. We never offer payments or benefits to officials and never promise faster approvals.
How much does investor support cost?
Every engagement is quoted as a fixed fee in writing after a free scoping call. The first conversation is free. See Pricing.
Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?
Yes. Engagements can be delivered entirely remotely in English, fees are quoted in US dollars for clients abroad, and calls are arranged across time zones. See For International Clients.
Who will we be working with?
A named lead from the research team of the Pakistan Institute for Vision Research and Action, an SECP-registered institute in Lahore, supported by specialists engaged for your engagement.
Is our inquiry confidential?
Yes. Inquiries are handled in confidence, and a non-disclosure agreement can be signed before detailed scoping.
Does commissioned work affect what the institute publishes?
No. Commissioned work is not published unless the client chooses, and clients have no editorial control over the institute’s research. See Compliance & Independence.
Do you provide legal or tax advice?
