[Explained with Examples] How Much Does It Cost to Develop Overseas Sales Channels? A Seminar on Starting Overseas Expansion Using Subsidies
Event Outline
I am interested in developing overseas sales channels.
However, many business owners are concerned that they don't know how much it will actually cost, which hinders internal discussions.
One of the characteristics of overseas expansion costs is that they are often difficult to see.
The costs involved include exhibition fees, travel expenses, sample shipping costs, research into the regulations of the target country, and, above all, securing personnel to handle trade operations and overseas sales.
When you build things up one step at a time, it's not uncommon for the results to far exceed your initial expectations.
On the other hand, the national and local governments have subsidy programs in place to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are working to expand overseas.
Once you have a grasp of the overall cost and can figure out where subsidies can be allocated, you can see a way to get started while minimizing your out-of-pocket expenses.
This seminar will compare the costs required for developing overseas sales channels when done in-house versus when utilizing external support, using real-world examples. Furthermore, we will introduce a method for getting started by combining this with subsidies.
As you begin planning for the next fiscal year, please use this information to help you decide whether or not to include overseas expansion in your budget.
