PREPARE

One of the fundamental questions you need to answer when considering exports is: Is my company ready for exports?

Exporting is not as easy as many people think. It requires thorough preparation, creativity and visionary leadership, strong fundamentals, commitment and endurance.

CBI has a longstanding experience in guiding companies to export success. A range of manuals and export programmes is available for companies to prepare for export ventures. Besides, you can use an export readiness checker for a quick assessment of export fitness.

In the following steps, we will guide you through the process of exporting. At the same time, we will provide you with relevant information to read and tools to use in each step.

You can also have a look at our Export Marketing Plan builder. A tool which helps you develop your own export marketing strategy.

 

Test your export readiness in less than 5 minutes

CBI's export readiness checker consists of 15 questions. You will get the immediate results on-line after completing the test. Please bear in mind that it is a test and not an official audit. The test results can guide you in fine-tuning certain aspects for your European market preparation. Explanations, recommendations and hyperlinks are provided for further preparation. No rights can be derived from completing the test successfully. However, it may be a stepping stone to completing the official CBI audit.
