Whether you are already conducting international business or considering conducting international business, having the required knowledge and being prepared is imperative. Conducting international business requires adhering to U.S. and Foreign Local Laws, vetting international business partners, and the proper import / export of goods, services, and information (technical data). Affordability, feasibility, and marketing are major factors that need to be considered along with communication and risk mitigation.
Vetting business partners and third parties (brokers / agents) can reduce exposure and liability. Having a trusted broker / agent that operates lawfully does not always equal success.
An international business partner should:
- Assist your company in adapting to the local way of conducting business
- Help your company become part of the region verses being an invader
- Develop rapport and relationships that expand your company into new territories
Conducting international business can seem overwhelming, having the proper training can turn a monumental undertaking into a step-by-step process of success. Government fines of what seem to be minor infractions can destroy and bankrupt a company. SBS shows you how to keep your company and employees safe and minimize risk.
