- Business Partner Search (business matchmaking)read more
Our Partner Search service is also a tailor-made solution and a hands-on approach to market entry. This service is designed to assist your company in finding, researching and establishing contact with potential partners in our markets. These can be your potential distributors, JV partners, suppliers, customers, outsourcing partners etc. The work we do during such projects varies from project to project based on the client's budget, requirements and market objectives, which are discussed before the project is initiated. Usually, our partner search service includes the following main elements:
- Identifying and selecting relevant local companies;
- Preparing introduction materials in local language;
- Contacting the most suitable potential partners in order to make an introduction to your company and business proposition;
- Verifying local partners' relevant skills and qualifications;
- Collecting their responses to the proposed co-operation;
- Preparation of a final report;
- Meeting Itinerary (when a client wishes to visit the country to meet with potential partners);
- Assistance during negotiations with potential partners (our consultant can accompany you to your meetings to help with translation and negotiations with potential partners, and organise other on-the-ground assistance you might require during your visit).
At the end of a partner search project our clients receive a final partner search report that summarises our work performed during the project and responses received during communications with potential local partners, provides a short market insight and lists company profiles of the most suitable partners interested in co-operation.
The cost of this service depends on the level of detail requested by a client for profiling potential partners and particular service elements included in the project.
