Market Entry Diagnostic

Available on request bespoke pricing confirmed after a discovery call

A structured assessment for businesses considering entering a new international market. The purpose is to help you decide how to enter the market before committing significant money, appointing a partner or setting up local operations.

What this covers

  • Direct export vs local distributor vs sales agent vs licensing vs e-commerce vs joint venture vs subsidiary vs branch
  • Whether a local warehouse, office or employees are required
  • Licences, approvals and tax registrations that may be needed
  • How customers will pay, how money is collected and how profits are repatriated
  • Currency risk, exchange-control restrictions, duties and import costs
  • Storage, delivery, realistic payment terms and local business practices
  • The best balance between control, cost, speed and risk
