Succeeding in company exports and internationalization

As the business becomes more established in international markets, the company must take into account the growth potential of exports and / or invest in indirect exports. Starting an international business is a long process that requires financial resources and expertise in international operations. A prerequisite for success in the international market is a clear overseas development plan as well as adequate knowledge of the target area, its operating methods, culture, values ​​and demands which can differ significantly from those of domestic trade.

International trade is different from domestic trade

There are always risks associated with a company’s international development, such as  financial risks, as costs are often higher and revenue generation slower than expected. Barriers to export may include regulations and regulatory requirements that impede trade in goods and services, such as divergent standards, inspection, testing or certification demands.
