• 95% of the world’s population and 70% of the purchasing power of the world are outside of the USA.
• Companies that export grow faster, can more easily rideout fluctuations in the U.S. economy, and are 8.5% more likely to stay in business than non-exporting companies.
• Small and medium-sized companies account for 98% of U.S. exporters.
• Services are the fastest growing portion of US exports.

For companies new to international business, these are some factors to consider: 1. Have you substantially penetrated the U.S. market? 2. Is your company financially strong enough to divert time, money and human resources into international markets? 3. Does upper management fully support this effort?  If the answers to these questions are yes, we would love to help prepare you to expand into foreign markets.

For companies already doing a limited amount of business internationally but wish to enter additional markets, we can develop an international marketing plan identifying such things as: best markets to enter, potential partners, appropriate distribution channels, potential modifications needed, regulatory/compliance requirements, cultural factors, and other information you need to know to mitigate risks and be successful.
