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
