The service includes analyzing the business situation, assessing the export capability of the products/ services, identifying potential target markets, defining priorities and developing a sales action plan.

Financing consultation

In the framework of financing consultation, we identify the financing needs of companies and propose an optimal financing structure. We provide information on available loan, capital and insurance options.

Foreign market transaction consultation

International expansion and investment incentives have become indispensable for Hungarian SMEs and larger private companies in the light of the results of recent years. One of the key drivers of competitiveness and productivity is size efficiency, which can be obviously increased by launching products and/or services in international markets.

Organization of inbound and outbound business delegations

Participation in a business delegation brings many benefits to our business partners. It is an excellent tool for both domestic and foreign business partners to build awareness in the particular market and assess the exact supply. This should be done as a first step in assessing every business opportunity.

After the partnership has been established, potential transactions may be hindered by missing logistics knowledge and customs requirements due to lack of previous experience.
