We now live in an global society and you are probably facing increasing competition from abroad. Could you increase your profits by adding an international dimension?

If you are a manufacturer, or provide a service, there could well be a good market for this in other countries. You could sell directly or through distributors. You could even consider a franchise or licensing deal with a local partner or form a joint venture.

If you are a distributor then you could represent foreign companies , perhaps with a complementary product or service to your own. This could give you increased sales at little cost.

Probably you have thought about this but been put off by the apparent complexity of dealing with different legal systems and business cultures. There is also always the worry of how to ensure that you are paid.

Areas where you may need help include:

Initial market analysis, coping with different national business cultures, preparing marketing materials, selecting international partners, type of relationship (distributor, agent, joint venture, franchising, licensing), negotiation of terms, motivation and training of partner's staff, legal and financial considerations in each market
