Case study: Enabling global expansion without borders
Challenge:
A fund saw new opportunities in Seoul, Iceland, and Dubai but lacked local entities, vendor relationships, and infrastructure.
Traditional expansion meant months of setup, export licensing delays, and missed opportunities. One fund even abandoned its Asian plans due to infrastructure complexity outweighing expected returns.
Softcat impact:
- Delivered infrastructure to 100+ countries without local presence
- Nordic expertise covering Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroes
- £50m deployed to Reykjavik for a climate arbitrage fund
- Importer of Record services removed need for local entities
- Pre-cleared export licences enabled next-day delivery in Dubai
- One fund expanded into 6 new countries in 12 months
- Local expertise, global execution
Softcat makes the world feel small — they can deploy anytime, anywhere.

Case study: Enabling flexibility through entity-aware procurement
Challenge:
A fund operating across Cayman, Delaware, the UK, and Singapore struggled to explain its structure to a hardware vendor. VAT-only registration in Sweden also complicated purchases.
Ownership needed to sit in Ireland for tax efficiency, but delivery was in London. Mid-project, regulations changed and the entity structure shifted. Traditional vendors required simple credit setups which resulted in an 8-month delay while lawyers resolved the contractual framework.
Softcat impact:
- Daily experience with complex, multi-entity structures
- Billing tailored to reflect real-world fund setups
- VAT registrations supported across jurisdictions
- Seamless ownership transfers when structures evolve
- Pre-entity delivery ensures infrastructure arrives ahead of legal finalisation
- One fund with 12 entities across 6 countries now uses a single, streamlined procurement process
Softcat understands complexity is our normal.
