Are you a Chamber of Commerce, Trade Organisation, Government Body or an individual business looking to expand and promote your local or trade sector exports? International trade is a great way to stimulate growth in your local economy, to increase employment and improve flows of currency. Go Exporting helps prepare businesses for the challenges ahead.
We have developed a unique Export Readiness Audit process designed to work with business owners to identify the areas where they need to review, improve, invest, train, formalise and enhance their products, processes, procedures, policies and management in order to smoothly transition into a successful exporting company.
There are no rights and wrongs in this process. It is not pass or fail, only benefits. We work with the management team, to support and advise, to help them achieve their goals.
Benefits of conducting an Export Readiness Audit
Stage One - The Export Audit Questionnaire
Our specially developed tool for gathering the right information on each company in order to assess their export readiness. It covers all areas of the business including;
Stage Two - The Export Audit Visit
A minimum one-day visit to the company to review the audit questionnaire directly with the management team.
To see first-hand the business in-situ. To explore in greater detail the topics covered and really understand the business itself; its drivers, its goals and aspirations, its difficulties and challenges; its opportunities and capabilities.
This also allows us to gather any additional relevant information unique to the company which was not covered in the questionnaire.
Stage Three - The Export Readiness Report
On completion of the audit process, our expert will assess all the information gathered and produce a detailed final report which will include a review of where the business is now, where it needs to be and the steps it needs to take in between to reach a stage of Export Readiness for its target markets.
The report includes a review and our recommendations in each of the following areas:
