How International Strategic Consultants Can Help You Expand Your Business Horizons

By Joanna Walsh


As a business owner, you may have seriously considered expansion into the new global markets. No matter where you live, the fact is that your current marketplace is but a tiny fraction of your possible customer market when you begin to think in global terms. To reach those new foreign markets and expand your business reach and profitability, you might want to consider the type of assistance that only a qualified group of international strategic consultants can provide.

There are really two ways to think about global expansion. The first is to plan for a completely internal process, wherein you rely on your company's existing personnel to assist in the expansion effort. Obviously, that can be challenging for the average firm, since most do not have that level of internal expertise in this area.

Alternatively, you can do what many other companies already do and simply outsource the effort to a competent consulting firm. Though it is true that these outsourced efforts do involve added costs, there is no escaping the fact that there are far-reaching benefits for exercising that option. In the majority of cases, those benefits are far greater than the financial costs associated with paying that outside firm to help you.

A competent strategic consulting firm can assist you with all of the major and minor issues that global trade entails. They cover the full spectrum of business concerns, including foreign business alliances, acquisition of existing foreign companies, accounting and tax issues, and infrastructure planning and management.

Risk is always a concern for such a venture, and these consultants are uniquely qualified to assist you in assessing potential gains or losses. They'll help you determine the best chances for return on investment, as well as high-risk areas you might want to avoid. Their main goal, after all, is to assist you in maximizing your profitability as you expand your business reach.

There are also less glamorous details that need to be addressed. Things like supply chains and resource management can be critical when you extend your business reach. Consultants can help you assess local suppliers, determine whether current chains can be scaled to accommodate your new needs, and help you develop the systems you need to ensure reliability at every level of your critical supply chain.

Perhaps most important of all is the advice and guidance that these companies can provide as you attempt to negotiate the maze of foreign bureaucratic red tape that is often involved in such ventures. Every country has its own unique way of doing business, and few of us have the time to learn each nation's customs and laws.

Once all of these factors are taken into account, there can be little doubt about the real benefits that can come from outsourcing these needs. With consultants, you receive the expertise you need to ensure success in your new venture, and can expand secure in the knowledge that you have taken every step possible to minimize potential negative consequences.
