Business is expanding into new markets and distribution channels.

If you want to substantially increase revenue, profits and customer base, consider exporting.  Why limit your sales to local and national markets?  You can export whether you sell widgets or services, such as professional services, technology, engineering, law and architectural services.  To consider whether you should enter the competitive international trade arena download the publication called "Breaking into the Trade Game:  A Small Business Guide to Exporting."

Contracting is certainly not for everyone, but if you have been in business for several years and are financially strong, it may be a great way to balance the ebb and flow of seasonality and economic instability affecting your business.  Get started pursuing contracting opportunities, by clicking on the Contracting Checklist link in the right-hand side bar on this page. >>
