Bridge for Spanish companies
to the Philippine and ASEAN markets
We guide companies to avoid pitfalls and we bring in any local services needed, when needed.
Kasama is a Tagalog word that means companion, partner or friend when used as a noun, and to be together with when used as a verb, pronoun, or adjective.
Our mission at Kasama is precisely this, to bridge your way between the markets of Spain & Europe, and ASEAN markets, ensuring your safe and clear progress.
How we accompany all the way.
Understand
We start by understanding your business, your goals, and the market you want to enter.
Connect
We find the right people, partners, and opportunities to make things happen.
Structure
We help you put the right pieces in place, from local services to agreements, to formalizing the structure that your business needs.
Grow
We are a long-term partner, we accompany you as you build, adapt, and grow in a new market.
We'll find and manage
the services you need,
at each step
Market Entry
Entering a new market involves finding the local knowledge and representation to partners, suppliers, and day-to-day support. That's what we do: we bring together the right people and services to help you move forward with confidence.
Representation
You don't always need a full team on the ground, but you do need someone who knows how things work locally. We represent your interests, build and manage relationships, follow up with contacts, and make sure opportunities don't get lost between meetings and agreements.
Development
We help you develop your presence once you're in the market: strengthen local relationships and bring in the right services when new needs arise so you can keep growing without having to figure everything out alone.
A bridge built on understanding and trust
We are a Manila and Barcelona-based advisory built to get business moving by understanding how each side works, what it expects, and what it takes to build trust between them.
We don't work on commission or deliver one-off projects. We become part of our clients' teams; flexible and external, but aligned around the same goals. We bring in the right people, expertise and local support when needed, and stay involved until things get done.
