Global compliance firm AVASK opened a new o@ice in Fort\u00a0 Lauderdale in June, marking the latest step in its expansion to help e-commerce sellers\u00a0 grow across global markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Florida has become a hub for e-commerce entrepreneurs since 2020, attracting talent and\u00a0 businesses from across the country. About 20% of AVASK\u2019s current client base is U.S.- based, the company said, making North America a natural priority for growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cU.S. e-commerce is experiencing a major shift,\u201d said CEO and co-founder Melanie\u00a0 Katsaris. \u201cFlorida\u2019s strong trade infrastructure and entrepreneurial ecosystem make it the\u00a0 ideal location for AVASK to meet sellers where they are and support their journey into new\u00a0 markets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

AVASK was founded in 2012 in London by Melanie Shabangu and Angelos Katsaris to\u00a0 address a growing need in international trade. As online marketplaces expanded, many\u00a0 businesses faced complex barriers to cross-border growth. The founders set out to simplify\u00a0 that process by o@ering tailored compliance solutions, starting with value-added tax (VAT)\u00a0 and customs requirements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, AVASK has broadened its services to cover a wide range of\u00a0 international compliance regulations, building a reputation as a trusted partner for e commerce sellers. Today, AVASK operates 12 o@ices worldwide, including locations in the\u00a0 United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and China. From these hubs, the company\u00a0 supports clients in additional markets such as Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia and the\u00a0 United Arab Emirates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its multilingual workforce, speaking over 25 languages, serves sellers across multiple\u00a0 continents as they continue to expand their operations internationally. The company\u2019s\u00a0 global headquarters remain in Southampton, England.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shabangu said the new o@ice bridges the time zone gap between AVASK\u2019s U.S. clients and\u00a0 its international teams. \u201cThis expansion allows us to support an already diverse and\u00a0 growing entrepreneurial community across the U.S. while bridging the time zone gap and\u00a0 providing localized expertise,\u201d she said, \u201cIt\u2019s about being present where innovation is\u00a0<\/p>\n

happening and ensuring sellers have the compliance solutions they need to expand\u00a0 confidently.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Alexandra Ramirez, director of U.S. sales and partnerships, the Fort Lauderdale o@ice\u00a0 underscores AVASK\u2019s commitment to helping U.S. sellers expand globally with local\u00a0 support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNorth American sellers are looking for clear, reliable guidance on global tax compliance as\u00a0 they expand into Europe, the UK, and beyond,\u201d Ramirez said, \u201cOur U.S. team o@ers direct,\u00a0 local support to simplify these complex processes and help sellers stay compliant while\u00a0 scaling e@iciently.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, AVASK said the Florida o@ice will also serve as a gateway to Latin America,\u00a0 where e-commerce growth is accelerating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat excites me most is the opportunity to create a true hub for global expansion,\u00a0 Shabangu said. \u201cThis is just the beginning of building a strong North American presence\u00a0 that delivers impact worldwide.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
