TradeNomad International provides hands-on strategic consulting for entrepreneurs — from financial optimization and operational strategy to international corporate structuring.
"Most founders work hard for the business. We make the business work harder for them."
TradeNomad International was founded by Klaas Michielsen, a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in accountancy who built and scaled multiple companies across the hospitality and production sectors before transitioning into strategic consulting.
Having navigated the full lifecycle of business ownership — from raising capital and managing cash flow to negotiating acquisitions and restructuring operations — Klaas brings a rare combination of financial rigour and real operational experience.

Our Hong Kong base provides world-class infrastructure at the gateway to Asia — a foundation built to support entrepreneurs across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas.
We work with business owners and entrepreneurs who want to get more out of what they've built — keeping more money in the business, expanding internationally or making smarter strategic decisions.
Plenty of profitable businesses still leak money. We find where it goes and build a plan to keep it.
From investment analysis to acquisition decisions: a second opinion from someone who has made these calls with his own money.
The right structure lets you keep significantly more of what you create. We guide solo founders, freelancers and small retail brands through practical steps based on real experience.
Many people have savings sitting idle or locked in low-return products. I share my personal vision on how to activate your capital — from portfolio thinking and market trends to pension planning and real estate — so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

We don't write reports that end up in a drawer. Every engagement is built around your situation and ends with a plan you can start running on Monday.
A detailed conversation to understand your business, goals and biggest opportunities.
We go through your figures, structure and day-to-day operations to find exactly where value is lost.
A short list of what to fix first, what can wait, and what to leave alone.
We stay involved while you execute — and adjust the plan when reality pushes back.
"Most entrepreneurs work hard for their business. We make the business work back for them."
If you're a business owner who feels there's more potential in your company than you're currently capturing — let's have a conversation. The first call is always complimentary.
