We're excited to announce that Acclime has joined Perth Landing Pad as an official partner, bringing deep expertise in market entry, regulatory compliance and business structuring across Australia and the Asia-Pacific.
For international founders considering a move into the Australian market, the path forward can look deceptively simple. The regulatory environment, employment law, tax structuring and director obligations often catch businesses off guard once they begin operating here. This partnership addresses that gap directly, giving Perth Landing Pad participants access to the kind of on-the-ground knowledge that makes the difference between a smooth market entry and a costly one.
Acclime is a professional services and business advisory firm operating across the Asia-Pacific region. From entity setup and tax structuring through to payroll, employment solutions and ongoing governance, Acclime acts as a single execution partner across the full market entry journey. With teams in key markets including Australia, South Korea and throughout Asia, they bring both regional breadth and local depth to the businesses they support.
Through this partnership, Perth Landing Pad participants will benefit from a dedicated Acclime webinar covering what it takes to enter and operate in the Australian market, a direct introduction to the Acclime team, and Acclime's participation in the Perth Landing Pad Showcase event later this year.
Blair Lucas, Group Commercial Director at Acclime, shared what drew the company to the program.
"What excites me most is the alignment between Spacecubed's role as a connector of ambitious, high-growth businesses and Acclime's strength as an execution partner for market entry and regional expansion.”
“Perth Landing Pad is a natural gateway into Australia and into Asia-Pacific, and this partnership allows us to support businesses at exactly the point where opportunity meets complexity. Through Spacecubed, founders gain early network access, market insight, and on-the-ground momentum. Acclime then complements that by helping them make the move real."
On the most common challenges businesses face entering Australia, Blair added: "Australia looks straightforward from the outside, but quickly becomes complex once businesses start operating here. Acclime helps by acting as a single execution partner across the full market-entry journey, allowing founders and leadership teams to stay focused on growth, while we handle the operational and regulatory complexity behind the scenes."
Juliette Lucas, Program Lead at Spacecubed expressed excitement for this new partnership, sharing "Perth Landing Pad exists to make the move into Australia feel less daunting and more deliberate. Acclime fills a gap we've always wanted to close, giving participants the kind of operational and regulatory confidence that lets them focus on building, not just navigating."
"Having them in the room, whether at our webinars, our showcase, or just as a direct introduction, means participants leave with more than a network. They leave with a real pathway”
Perth Landing Pad is Spacecubed's year-round program for international businesses establishing a presence in Western Australia. Supported by the City of Perth, it offers participants workspace, a local network, and a growing suite of partner expertise. The addition of Acclime reflects our ongoing commitment to building a partner network that gives participants real, practical support at every stage of their journey.
