## In short

- The first 100 days follow a sequence: structure, company, bank, people, premises and permits, reporting.

## A typical sequence

1. Structure: who owns the Montenegrin entity, and how the group trades with it
2. Company: registration and tax numbers, through Montenegro Advisory or your lawyers
3. Bank: account opening with the documents the bank requires
4. People: first hires, contracts and payroll
5. Premises and permits: lease, municipal approvals, sector licences
6. Reporting: accounting, transfer pricing and reporting to the parent
