Four questions, answered with evidence

Expansion goes wrong when it starts with a gut feeling about a market. We start with the evidence.

01

Where should we go first?

We size and rank target markets by real demand, competitor presence and how easy it is to win work, so your shortlist rests on evidence rather than instinct.

02

Who do we need on the ground?

Agents, distributors, joint venture partners and local content rules: we map who matters in each market and how they actually buy.

03

What could go wrong?

Political, regulatory and sanctions risk in markets where public data runs thin. We have mapped oil contract renegotiations in one of the hardest.

04

Is it worth it?

A clear business case and a roadmap your board can approve, with every assumption on the table.

How we work

Three stages, each one narrowing the field before you spend real money.

1

Screen

Desk research and market sizing cut a long list of countries down to the few worth a closer look.

2

Validate

Expert interviews in-market test demand, competitors and routes to market, in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

3

Plan

A prioritised entry plan: sequence, partners, pricing and risks, ready to take to the board.

Intelligence from hard-to-read markets

When public data runs out, we go and ask the people who know.

International Expansion: Which Markets, Which Route
