BSmart Export Product Gap.
Globalisation has brought a shift to the economic environment of European enterprises. The progressively disappearing barriers and borders are exposing all companies both to new markets and to international competition. Consequently companies that do not consider internationalisation are unknowingly self-imposing a severe restriction on their potential for long term survival.
BSmart Company acknowledges that when exporting for the first time, there are many issues that need to be addressed including who your potential customers are, what their needs are, routes to existing and emerging markets, existing competition in that market, your competitive advantage, cash flow considerations, and company resources and capacity.
BSmart Company can assist your company with all such issues and assist in the search for the end user to place the goods on the open market.
In Republic of Ireland BSmart Company can also assist qualifying companies – these are established companies, with ten or more employees and/or €1m in sales on the Irish market- in accessing grant assistance of up to €25000 euros from government agency funds .That government agency funding can assist qualifying companies to:
- Evaluate and assess overseas market opportunities,
- Develop plans to localise their current service/product offer for overseas markets,
- Identify suitable channels to international markets,
- Examine possibilities for web-enabling its service offer for export markets and,
- Undertake overseas market research.
Producers should be aware that without strong, sustainable growth, the future is less secure, and the social models of previously successful European countries – with well-paid, high quality jobs and full employment – will become unsustainable and unaffordable.
The answer is that we need to be more productive. We need to reach out to the world and drive trade and exports to bring in badly needed ‘foreign currency’. We need to understand what’s holding us back so that we know what to change. BSmart Company will be at your side.
