Grounded in truth, held in Vienna.

Factual Advisor is a government relations and market entry firm based in Vienna. We work with companies, institutions and public bodies that operate across borders and need to know who will make the decision and on what basis.

Our Firm

Somebody has to speak for the outsider.

A company arriving in a new country often has no history there and nobody in the room who can vouch for it. Whatever they have built elsewhere counts for very little at the moment a state decides whether to let them in.

Governments want investment, employment and infrastructure that works. Companies want permission to build. Most of the time both sides want the same outcome and are separated by procedure, timing and a shortage of people who understand both vocabularies.

Our trade is bridging that. We take companies and institutions that a market has never heard of, and we make them legible to the people who hold the decision. We prepare an outsider to make their case openly, on the record, to officials who have every right to interrogate it. A company that can survive that scrutiny has a future in the market.

Vienna is where we built the firm, and the city is part of the argument. We are positioned between the markets our clients come from and the ones they are going to, which is the only place this job can be done properly.
