Starting an Export Business
In exporting, it is not a prerequisite for a business to sell to its domestic market before selling abroad. There are many successful export-traders and export-manufacturers, notably in Asia, who have been selling their products entirely to the foreign markets.
Exporting is not for large companies only. Contrary to a belief that only large companies can export, in fact there are more small and medium-sized companies than large companies in the world that are engaged in exporting. The size of a company is not static. Most large companies at one time were small companies. Not to mention, small and medium-sized companies are the leading source of job creation in many countries.
Prior export expertise is not a prerequisite to exporting. The export procedure and routine is easy to learn. There are many forms of export assistance or advice available from the government and the private sectors. The export related skills can be learned. However, prior exposure to international trade is a definite advantage.
