Research Methodology

This document has been prepared by Infomineo.

The goal of this document is to map the landscape of corporate services companies in Iran. Please consider this is not a comprehensive list

We have listed 105 companies in 7 categories based on primary research (interviews) and secondary research. Data come from corporate websites of the different companies as well as from LinkedIn platform; also in order to fill the gap we have conducted phone interviews.

7 categories was identified including: Financial, Business Consulting, Tax & Accounting, HR Services, Legal/Law/Trade, System Provider/ Business Enabler, and Venture Capital/ Accelerator/ Business Angels. For each of these categories we have identified at least 10 companies and provided indicators as described below. Moreover, for some categories, non-Iranian companies which are active in Iran have been listed.
