Our Mission

Flatrace is an global boutique advisory firm focused on successfully guiding clients through regulatory, strategy and investment complexities. The firm’s rich expertise, derived through working with some of the world’s top governments and corporates, aids clients in expanding their footprint and maximizing value.

Over 2 Decades of Industry Experience

Our team brings a diverse experience across working with some of the largest public and private sector organizations where it helped scale and deliver multi-billion dollar projects. Our seasoned professionals work with clients to identify their strengths, weaknesses as well as possible options and hurdles that might affect the company’s goals, strategies, or position in the industry.

Global Reach & Local Focus

The rapid pace of economic, political and regulatory change can make protecting and enhancing enterprise value particularly difficult, especially if the business interests are in multiple jurisdictions. A keen understanding of the international landscape coupled with local knowledge and cultural awareness are essential in successfully transacting business on a global scale.

That’s where Flatrace’s deep know-how of navigating through all phases of corporate growth across multiple jurisdictions can help. These relationships allow us to provide cutting-edge and timely advice and help implement the recommendations.
