Roadmap to Internationalisation

Most UK SMEs never export. Those who do succeed by taking one small, low-risk step at a time — not a master plan that burns cash.

What we actually do

We usually start conversations by asking three core questions:

  • Which country is the least risky for the first sale?

  • What paperwork do you actually need for one order, not 100?

  • Who handles customs if you ship just 10 units?

We explore these questions with you and our work, then proceed in two possible ways:

Our Course: Internationalisation for SMEs

Internationalisation is often misunderstood as exporting, translation, or market entry.

In reality, internationalisation is the systematic preparation of a business to operate sustainably across borders — commercially, culturally, legally, and operationally.

This Internationalisation for SMEs course is designed for small and medium-sized businesses that want to expand internationally without damaging margins, cash flow, brand value, or operational stability.

Rather than high-level theory, this course focuses on the real-world decisions SMEs face when entering international markets, particularly Europe, ecommerce-led growth, and product-based expansion.

What Makes This Course Different

Unlike traditional internationalisation programmes, this course:

  • Treats logistics as a strategic issue, not an operational afterthought

  • Explains VAT, duties, and regulatory costs in commercial terms

  • Focuses on preparation before promotion

  • Addresses e-commerce and small-producer realities

  • Is grounded in practical SME experience, not policy theory

This course helps businesses move from exporting reactively to internationalising deliberately.

Course Structure: Six Practical Microcourses

The programme is delivered through six focused microcourses, allowing SMEs to build internationalisation capability step by step.
