These days nearly every business has global potential. That makes international expansion less a decision to enter overseas markets. It’s more leveraging the speed-of-light technology and unprecedented change that have put the world on your doorstep. Spreading your business across several markets can deliver strong growth and offset risk. But a lot is at stake. So it’s important to know the pitfalls in order to grasp a global advantage.

ENTERING WORLD MARKETS

Expanding internationally can be a game changer. In fact, a successful strategy delivers outstanding growth and profit results. Going overseas lets you take advantage of gaps in the market. That’s important in today’s world economy, where only the strongest survive. That might sound risky, but going global has enormous benefits too:

  • Rapid growth in sales, profit and capital for reinvestment,
  • Chance to establish smart and diverse revenue streams,
  • Spread risk and shield your business against market shifts,
  • Genuine prospect of improved return on investment,
  • A world of new business investment opportunities

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  1. How do I finance an international expansion?
    Not every business has capital in reserve to inject into global growth. But raising funds is one of our specialities. Ask us about venture capital.
  2. What government resources are available to me?
    Typically, governments are strong supporters of trade. Your business may be able to access financial or trade support in Australia and overseas.
  3. How do I know I comply with international trade tax and laws?
    That’s why you choose Naked Consulting. Together with our global network of advisors, it’s our job to inform you of legal obligations as well as local and international regulations.
  4. Will I need to incorporate a company overseas?
    That depends on the location where your business is expanding. Some countries require a local partner for company registration. It may be best to use another entity at first.
  5. Where do I expand?
    It really depends on what you are trying to achieve.
