International Expansion
About this
I'm not sure if I'm a manufacturer, a buyer, or looking to expand — where do I start?
Right here. Tell us your situation in the form and we'll point you to Manufacturer Representation, Sourcing & Trading, or Canada Business Connections — SGI's three specific pages.
Is this the same as European market entry?
European market entry is a specific case within Manufacturer Representation (non-European manufacturers entering the EU); international expansion covers any direction and any market, including Canada.
What type of company does this make sense for?
Companies already operating successfully in their current market who want to replicate that in one or more new markets — as a manufacturer seeking distribution, or as a buyer seeking a new supplier origin.
How many markets can you evaluate at once?
We recommend prioritizing 2-3 candidate markets per phase, to avoid spreading resources too thin.
