Optimising international operations

Sharing connections, information and support
Let’s make the world a smaller place
Many successful domestic businesses and established international businesses make the strategic decision to enter new overseas markets. However, expanding overseas into the global marketplace isn’t always as simple as it sounds.
Without the right connections, information and support, forays into overseas markets can end up being an expensive mistake. But we and our ECOVIS International colleagues can support global market entry businesses to mitigate some of these risks.

Trading options
Businesses that trade internationally have a number of options available to them in terms of how they structure their trading arrangements and operations as well as their corporate structure. Some of those trading options include:
- Manufacturing and exporting products.
- Setting up manufacturing operations in different markets.
- Outsourcing manufacturing processes to third parties based in your home market or overseas markets.
- Basing sales and marketing operations in your home market or overseas market or a combination of the two.
Delivering services in overseas markets by people in home markets or establishing operations and people in overseas markets.

When it comes to considering an appropriate entity or corporate structure some of the following options may be appropriate or need consideration:
- Manage risk
- Be tax efficient
- Align corporate, management and operational structures
- Provide transparency and visibility to operations and financial performance
