We identify, analyse, and evaluate market opportunities for new products, and identify and evaluate potential channels to market, both direct and indirect. We also analyse industry and market dynamics, barriers to entry, regulation and certifications and the competitive landscape.

Business strategy and planning

Developing a business plan for entering new markets is essential if investment in new market is to be optimised. We assist you in defining strategic and financial targets for market entry according to the budget and resources available. We then develop an action plan with timelines and costs to address business development and management activities, including infrastructure and logistical issues.
