Market guides
Guides to doing business in 60 markets
Guides to doing business across borders, written for the people who have to make the decision. Each checked rule, rate and threshold is linked to its official source, with the date of the check and whether a professional has reviewed it. Statements not yet checked are labelled AI-written.
Coverage
What is researched, and what is in progress
WONE Global arranges professional services across 100 countries. 60 of them are featured markets with their own pages. 8 have a full market guide and 44 an essentials guide checked against sources, 9 an essentials guide partly checked (the statements not yet checked are labelled AI-written); the table shows exactly which areas are covered and how many statements back each one. WONE Global's research engine keeps adding to them, and labels what an editor has not yet checked.

How a statement is published
From research to reviewed
- WONE Global page
- AI-writtenWritten by AI from its general knowledge, without checking a source. Published only in guides labelled AI-written, never presented as confirmed, and replaced as the research engine confirms or corrects each statement against a source.
- AI researchFound by WONE Global's automated research engine, from a source page returned by a live search. Shown as a lead until an editor opens the source and confirms it.
- Research draftFound in research but the official source could not be opened or did not state it exactly. Shown only with this label.
- Checked against a sourceChecked against the official source on the date shown. Useful to understand the rules; not yet reviewed by a professional.
- Checked by an editorChecked against the official source, and an editor has confirmed its scope and exceptions. Not yet reviewed by a professional.
- Professionally reviewedReviewed by a named, qualified professional for that country. Their name is shown with the statement.
- Update requiredA re-check is due or the rule may have changed. Shown with this label until it is confirmed.
- SupersededReplaced by a newer rule. Kept, with a link to what replaced it, so the record stays honest.
- WithdrawnWithdrawn: no longer shown or used in answers, usually because the rule changed.
Status
Research, not advice
- Guides explain the rules and the choices; they do not tell a particular business what to do.
- Advice comes from the independent professional firm that takes on your work, under its own engagement terms and professional rules.
- Rules are re-checked on a schedule — every 90 days for tax, regulation, employment, trade and banking; every 180 days for the rest — and whenever an official change is detected.
- The firms WONE Global admits in each country (its Partners) can propose corrections and review the guides for their own country. Their reviews are shown by name.
- The guides grow all the time. An automated research engine works through the topics visitors ask about most, the gaps in each guide and anything due for a re-check. Readers' "Was this useful?" answers help decide what is checked next.
