Our take
It's never been simpler to set up a business online. Tools like Stripe, Intercom, and Twilio have enabled entrepreneurs to sell to millions of consumers and businesses across borders. But managing tax compliance remains a minefield that gets even more intense as companies grow and scale internationally.
Fonoa removes the challenge of managing indirect taxes from the everyday business of digital-native companies, with a suite of plug-and-play products that make up its global tax compliance platform. Since launching in 2018, the company has expanded its product suite heavily and secured big-name clients such as Booking.com, Spotify, Teachable, Uber and Zoom.
With strong funding under its belt, Fonoa has continued to develop towards becoming a fully international player offering services on a global scale. The company is focusing on a full tax stack approach for growth, prioritising technology to suit the digital business models of today. Through this, the company is well-poised to tackle an almost unending market that has catapulted other startups to Unicorn status.
