International expansion
Growth abroad rewards preparation. We help companies choose markets, decide how to enter them and build the relationships, including with government, that make expansion work.
New markets look attractive from headquarters and hard on the ground. Regulation, procurement rules, partner choice and local expectations decide success more often than product.
We combine market evidence with practical experience of working across borders and between public and private sectors, so your entry plan is grounded from the start.
What we do
Market prioritisation
Compare markets on demand, access, risk and fit with your capabilities.
Entry model design
Choose between organic entry, partnership, joint venture or acquisition.
Partner search and assessment
Identify, approach and assess distributors, partners and targets.
Government and regulatory engagement
Understand what public stakeholders need and engage them early.
Localisation and go-to-market
Adapt proposition, pricing and channels to each market.
Launch and scale-up support
Set up the team, governance and milestones for the first two years.
The questions leaders bring to us.
- Which markets should we enter first, and why?
- Should we build, partner or buy?
- What will governments and regulators expect of us?
- Who are the right local partners, and how do we protect our interests?
- What does success look like at 6, 12 and 24 months?
Typical outputs
- Market attractiveness assessment
- Entry options and recommendation
- Partner long-list and due diligence
