Internationalisation for SMEs:
Helping You Sell Abroad — Without Leaving Home
Expanding into new markets takes more than ambition — it requires research, strategy, and smart execution.
The good news is that international growth no longer means constant travel, overseas offices, or high upfront costs. With the right preparation and guidance, you can reach customers abroad and scale your business internationally—while operating from your home base.
Our internationalisation services support SMEs through every stage of global expansion, offering:
Targeted international market research and market viability assessments to identify realistic opportunities
Bespoke market entry strategies, covering pricing, partnerships, logistics, and warehousing considerations
Evaluation of marketing approaches, including analysis of influencers, platforms, and channel suitability (advisory only—we do not deliver marketing campaigns)
We provide clear, actionable advice to help you reduce risks and maximise opportunities abroad.
We also offer the “Internationalisation for SMEs” course — a comprehensive six-module programme designed to equip business owners and practitioners with a practical roadmap for international expansion.
The course can be taken in full or by individual modules, depending on your needs.
UK-based practitioners completing the full course bundle are eligible for CPD certification, providing a recognised credential that supports both professional development and international trade readiness.
Taking You from First Idea to First Shipment (and Beyond)
Roadmap to Internationalisation
Whether a solopreneur or a craft maker, we can help you explore and reach the right international markets to showcase your talent and grow your business.
Our work begins with tailored market research to assess demand, map competitors, pricing, and routes to market, and evaluate realistic opportunities and risks. This ensures decisions are grounded in evidence rather than assumptions.
Once a viable market is identified, we guide you through the steps required to establish a presence—either within an existing hub or independently.
We act as a central point of coordination, connecting you with vetted tax, legal, logistics, and warehousing partners, and translating their inputs into a clear, practical roadmap. This roadmap addresses marketing strategy, regulatory compliance, and operational requirements, enabling confident decision-making.
You retain full control over negotiations, contracts, pricing, and product development; our role is to ensure you are well-informed, prepared, and supported at each stage.
Where warehousing is required, we assess and recommend options aligned with your logistics and sales strategy. For e-commerce or local fulfilment models, we provide research, costings, and guidance on import–export processes, including customs documentation and compliance considerations.
We remain available throughout the first 12 months of your internationalisation journey, offering periodic reviews, troubleshooting, and strategic adjustments as conditions evolve, if and where needed.
We aim to equip you with the knowledge, resources, and trusted contacts needed to build a resilient and independent international network.
This includes tailored market research to assess potential, map competitors, and understand realistic opportunities for success.
Once a viable market is identified, we guide you through the steps needed to establish a presence within a hub or independently. While we do not operate offices in China, we collaborate with trusted Hong Kong partners to help clients access Mainland China.
Our role is to connect you with trusted tax, legal, logistics, and warehousing partners, and to outline a clear roadmap so you can confidently address marketing, compliance, and operational considerations.
We ensure you have the right information and introductions to make informed decisions — while you retain control over negotiations, contracts, and product development.
If warehousing is part of your plan, we can recommend and assess options that fit your logistics needs. If your route is e-commerce with local fulfilment, we provide research, costings, and guidance for import–export procedures, including customs documentation.
We remain available during the first 12 months of your internationalisation journey for periodic reviews, troubleshooting, and refining your approach.
Throughout, our aim is to equip you with knowledge, resources, and contacts — so you can build your own resilient international network.
