FIT publishes FAQ on getting into export
Flanders Investment & Trade has produced a brochure answering the questions most asked by local businesses breaking into the export market
‘SMEs add value’
The list includes such questions as “Is it worth the effort to take part in international trade fairs?” and “How do I set prices in other countries?” Answers to the FAQs are printed on the right-hand pages only, with the left-hand pages left blank for the use of the businesses to make notes, jot down contact details and so on.
Among the questions and answers, the brochure (in Dutch) also contains a reassurance that small business owners need have no fear of larger enterprises on the export market. “An SME is more flexible, not only at production level but also in decision-making,” the document reads. “There is always less bureaucracy involved in decision-making. One person is often responsible for export business, making supervision easier. And because of the personal contact with the staff of the SME, clients are less likely to cross over to a competitor.”
The brochure can be downloaded or ordered from the FIT website.
