Our Services

We import international in demand products or services for distribution within the domestic US market. We also acquire inventories of in demand US products or services with the intent to distribute them in the international marketplace through wholesalers, retailers, representatives, institutions, direct consumer sales or distributors, to name a few.

We consider and analyze an array of international factors on a case by case basis for each product or service considered. Each of the following factors requires significant attention to detail and they are diligently analyzed depending on the needs and objectives of entering a targeted international marketplace.

• The international differences in legal systems, political systems and economic policies
• The official and unofficial languages of countries
• The accounting standards, labor standards, living standards and environmental standards of countries
• The local culture, climate, and education systems
• The currency exchange rates and fluctuations
• The export – import regulations, trade agreements and tariffs

Based on the results from this initial analysis, a professional recommendation is made regarding the opportunity and probability of success for a product or service in the international marketplace. The following step is to develop an international export‐import plan that maps out how the international venture will be carried out considering the following key aspects.

• The shipping costs and logistics considerations
• The market entry alternatives and marketing initiatives
• The legal and intellectual property protection issues
• The identification of appropriate distribution channels
• The calculation of landed cost for a profitable but feasible price to end consumers
• The payment options and financial considerations

The international region of the world that we specialize in for sourcing and distribution purposes is Latin America. We consider this a very promising region of the world to specialize in the long‐term; taking into account that Latin America encompasses a total of some 20 countries and is home to more than 569 million inhabitants. We subdivide our Latin American initiatives into several subregions based on factors such as geography, politics, demographics, language and culture.

We constantly stay abreast with an extensive array of industry, social and political global news and trends, with a special emphasis on the entire western hemisphere. We are continually traveling in the international marketplace in order to effectively analyze and implement international ventures. The information collected affects the overall business environment and it allows us to be more proactive than reactive in our business practices.

We are charged with ensuring that all information and data relevant to a supplier, client, product or service be properly analyzed, complemented with new research when appropriate, and then brought to bear on judgments of its opportunities in the international marketplace. Knowing how to interrogate data and find a niche rather than be intimidated by it is our forte. Extensive international business experience, intuition, common sense, numeracy and clarity of a global outlook all help support this.

Deriving insight from knowledge is one of the most important skills we possess. We develop these insights from a variety of areas including but not limited to:

• The product or service considered
• The consumer
• The client's corporate culture
• The marketplace and category
• The competition
• The brand's values (past, present, future)
• The product qualities
• The advertising and communication conventions of a category
• The country of origin and destination of a product or service

The mining of all these areas without losing sight of the larger picture in order to identify a key insight or niche that can transform a supplier’s or client’s business on the international stage is a refined skill. It is a skill that we specialize in and consider of utmost importance for the long‐term success of our business.}
