Navigate Market Entry with Confidence
Maguire Advisors is a market entry consultancy for businesses ready to expand beyond borders with dynamic intelligence. We figure out which markets you should enter, when to enter them and exactly how to do it without burning cash on false starts.
Expanding into unfamiliar territory feels like gambling when you’re missing half the information. Our specialists cut through the noise by assessing regulatory landscapes and decoding competitive dynamics. This allows Maguire Advisors to map the proposed path your business will take from planning to presence.
No guesswork.
No generic frameworks.
Just clear direction for your specific expansion.
Access Dual-Continent Intelligence
Maguire Advisors is headquartered in New York and London because those locations matter for the clients we serve. Our teams live in these markets; they understand their rhythms and track changes as they happen. When you’re entering the US or Europe, you’re working with people who know what “business as usual” looks like there.
De-Risk Your International Expansion
The horror stories are all the same: companies that assumed demand would translate, missed crucial regulatory requirements, picked the wrong partners, or entered at precisely the wrong moment. Market entry consulting exists to prevent exactly those failures.
Maguire Advisors identify the landmines before you step on them. Whether that’s compliance gaps, unrealistic competitive positioning or markets that look promising until you dig into the numbers. We look at expansion opportunities honestly and won’t just tell you what you want to hear.
Partner With Proven Market Entry Specialists
Maguire Advisors work primarily with technology companies because we understand the specific challenges those sectors face when crossing borders. Our capabilities are extensive; however, our team has specialist insight into the following sectors:
SaaS platforms
FinTech innovators
HealthTech developers
AI companies
Don't Just Take Our Word for It
Our project portfolio spans successful expansions across US, UK and European markets, with clients ranging from growth-stage companies to established firms entering adjacent territories. The companies we’ve guided aren’t just “in” new markets, they’re operating profitably and building sustainable presence.
"They didn't just hand us a deck and disappear."
“We’d spoken to three other consultancies before Maguire Advisors, and they all wanted to sell us the same thing: a twelve-week engagement, a final presentation and good luck. Maguire Advisors took a different approach from day one. They asked harder questions about our actual capacity to execute, not just our ambitions. When we entered Germany and the Netherlands, they were in those markets with us – making introductions, sitting in partner meetings, helping us adjust the strategy when reality didn’t match the forecast. We’re now operating profitably in three European countries, and we avoided what I estimate would’ve been £200,000 in compliance-related mistakes. They became part of our team, not a vendor we paid and forgot about.”
Sarah C., Chief Executive Officer
Cloud Infrastructure SaaS Company
US to Europe Expansion | SaaS Sector
Key Outcome: 3 markets live within 8 months, profitable operations, £200K in avoided compliance costs.
"The regulatory roadmap they built saved us at least six months."
“Breaking into the US market as a UK FinTech felt like navigating a maze blindfolded. Every state has different money transmitter laws, and we didn’t know where to start. Maguire Advisors prioritized the regulations. They told us which states to tackle first based on where our revenue potential was highest and they connected us with a mid-tier bank willing to work with an international partner. That banking relationship alone was worth the engagement fee. Four months ahead of our initial timeline, we had our first licenses and were processing payments. I genuinely don’t think we’d be operating in the US today without their guidance.”
James M., Chief Operating Officer
Payment Processing Platform
UK to US Expansion | FinTech Sector
Key Outcome: State licensing 4 months ahead of schedule, critical banking partnership secured, operational US presence established.
"They kept us from making a very expensive mistake."
“We were ready to launch simultaneously in five European countries because we thought speed would give us first-mover advantage. Maguire Advisors challenged that assumption. Respectfully, but firmly. They showed us the data: our value proposition wasn’t landing the same way across markets and we were spreading ourselves too thin. They recommended we focus on Germany, France and Spain first, with localized messaging for each. That was the right call. We ran three successful pilots in our first quarter and hired the exact data science talent we needed by targeting the universities they identified. If we’d gone with our original plan, we’d have launched poorly everywhere instead of launching well in the markets that mattered most.”

Market Entry is High-stakes Work
Companies that do it well unlock growth that compounds for years. Companies that do it poorly burn resources and lose momentum. The difference is usually information – having it versus guessing without it.
