Philippines ↔ Spain Trade Advisory

Bridging businesses between the Philippines and Spain.

We help Philippine and Spanish companies find each other — then handle the legal, tax, and logistics work it actually takes to trade.

The manifest

Four ways we move your business forward

MKT

Market entry & distributor sourcing

We identify and qualify the right distributors, retailers, and buyers for your products in the Philippines or Spain, then make the introduction.

LGL

Legal & regulatory navigation

From import licensing to product registration, we connect you with vetted legal advisers who know both jurisdictions well.

TAX

Customs & tax guidance

Tariffs, duties, and paperwork sorted in advance, so they don't become a bottleneck once your goods reach the border.

OPS

Hands-on deal support

We stay involved through negotiations, pricing, and logistics planning, all the way through to your first shipment.

Why Galleon Partners

Run by someone who has sat on both sides of the table

Galleon Partners is led by Renzo Candano, who has spent the last decade moving between big tech, strategy consulting, and finance across Asia and Europe — and who grew up around a family business in consumer goods distribution in the Philippines.

That combination is the point: someone who understands how Philippine manufacturers actually operate, and how Spanish buyers actually make sourcing decisions, working both sides of the same deal.

Every engagement is also backed by a network of independent advisers across law, tax, and trade compliance — so the advice you get is never just one person's opinion.
