Preparing Your Business to Go Global
Posted By Anita Campbell On November 19, 2010 @ 11:53 pm
In Small Business
Operations
This series is commissioned by UPS.
A few weeks ago I pointed out how to ready your website for
international business [1] — everything
from translating your website text, to search engine
optimization in other languages. That article
sparked thoughtful discussion. So this week I thought I’d
expand the discussion beyond your Web
presence, and focus on how to prepare your business as a whole
to go global.
Depending on the industry you are in, and where you intend to
seek business, here are 5
considerations before you take that big leap:
1) Don’t assume you have to be big to go global — A few years
back the Council on
Competitiveness coined the term “micro-multinational [2]” to
describe startups that go global
from day one (or nearly day one). In fact, we’ve published an

10. entire series on micro-
multinational companies [3]. So rather than following the old-
fashioned path to global growth,
which meant expanding regionally, then nationally before
finally going international years
later — today you can leapfrog over those steps. It’s largely
thanks to inexpensive
technology and services designed to help small businesses
operate across borders with the
same efficiencies as large businesses.
2) Research the legal, HR and tax environment in any countries
where you will have a
physical presence, before you leap — If you need or plan to
have a presence in or
ongoing sales to another country — such as local employees,
local warehouses or exports of
goods to that country — be sure to investigate all legal, HR and
tax implications. They can
add considerable cost to doing business, not to mention getting
your business into hot water
if you don’t comply with local laws and regulations. That’s a
distraction you don’t need!
Previously, I interviewed Larry Harding of High Street Partners,
a company that helps small
businesses navigate the compliance issues of doing business
internationally [4]:
According to CEO Larry Harding, a handful of issues come up
repeatedly when companies desire to
expand overseas. “It’s easy to do the things that are readily
apparent, but below the surface there
are so many more things to look out for. It behooves companies

11. that are in the planning stages of
international expansion, to factor in the costs of compliance.”
He pointed to these two typical pitfalls
as examples:

business.html
https://smallbiztrends.com/2007/02/the-trend-of-the-micro-
multinationals.html

https://smallbiztrends.com/?s=micro-multinational&x=0&y=0
https://smallbiztrends.com/2007/12/smaller-and-younger-
companies-get-overseas-presence.html
• Employment Regulations and Practices – These are very
different overseas. A typical pitfall might
involve a company sending its U.S. offer letter to a prospective
employee in the European Union,
without realizing that they really need a full-blown employment
contract that complies with local
regulations. The ramification is that it immediately tilts the
balance of power greatly to the employee,
at the expense of the company, and makes termination difficult.
• Shipping and Importation – Many U.S. companies don’t have a
good handle on shipping product
overseas. There are a complex set of rules about importation
and logistical issues. A typical pitfall is
that something arrives on the dock and a duty must be paid. The
company shipping ends up paying
and it can be sizable — sometimes 17% — eating up the profits.
3) Invest in technology from the get-go — The right technology,
especially cloud based

12. software, can position your business to scale without adding
incremental cost or a large staff
base. Web-based software services, email, social media and
inexpensive
telecommunications bring the world to your fingertips, helping
bridge wide distances. And
just as importantly, technology can make the job of gathering
market intelligence and
marketing your business internationally, much easier.
Laurel Delaney, CEO of GlobeTrade.com [5], noted the
importance of social media and the Web in a
recent article about small businesses considering international
expansion. Laurel wrote:
How else will cross-border customers find you? If you are still
thinking about whether your business
should launch a blog or be on Twitter, forget the notion of
taking your business global. You are too
myopic! You need to position yourself on relevant networks
and beef up your communication
efforts. So for all you aspiring global enthusiasts, pony up the
nominal fee to set up a regular
website, start a blog, and get on Twitter, Facebook and
LinkedIn. Use effective marketing to get
noticed. The more online platforms you use, the better your
chances of being discovered. When a
customer bites, test out your price, see what reaction you get
and then negotiate from there.
If you offer products on an e-commerce platform, can customers
buy … at every destination
point? Make sure you focus on customer support, fulfillment
and being user friendly. Accessibility is
paramount considering all the different time zones we operate
in. Make it easy for customers to get

13. help should they need it. Your site should be attractive and
functional. Speed is also important
when considering users in remote parts of the world with dial-
up connections. Do what you can to
help them buy from you without a hassle.
4) If you plan to export physical goods, get exporting help —
There are many
considerations tied up in the decision to export. You have to
understand your market in the
country you are targeting. You have to understand exporting
laws and regulations, both here
http://globetrade.com/
in the United States and in the target country. Sometimes
licenses are required. The U.S.
Federal government has done a good job on a website to provide
you answers to these and
many more questions. On Export.gov you can: take advantage
of international market
research; learn about trade missions and trade events; begin
your investigation into export
licensing requirements; and even get personalized answers to
your exporting questions via
email and phone.
5) Figure out how you’re going to get paid — Doing business
internationally used to rely
heavily on letters of credit. Letters of credit are still widely
used. But luckily today there are
easier and faster options, especially for smaller-ticket
transactions. PayPal and American
Express’s FX International are two of the most popular options
for international

14. payments. Moneybookers.com, Xoom.com and even Western
Union are lesser-used
alternatives, but still may fit in situations where PayPal or FX
International are not available,
or as an alternative. For instance, while PayPal covers many
countries, your buyer may not
have access to PayPal in the country you are selling into, but
one of the other alternatives
may fit the bill. Decide up front your desired method(s) of
payment, and know the ins and
outs so that you aren’t rudely (or expensively) surprised.
These are but a handful of the issues to consider when going
global. For additional insights, read:

Jantsch’s interview of two entrepreneurs
and their challenges going global).

Preparing Your Business to Go Global
Reauthorize key small business programs
BY REP. STEVE CHABOT (R-OHIO) — 03/16/16 08:30 AM
EDT

16. Source
What do Sonicare toothbrushes, Roomba iRobots and 70 percent
of the computer chips in today’s
iPhones have in common?
As a few of our witnesses told the House Small Business
Committee earlier this month, they all began
with small companies using the Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) programs, administered by the Small Business
Administration (SBA).
These two initiatives have a proven track record of success in
helping America’s small businesses
compete and succeed in the global technology marketplace.
That is why our committee has begun the process of renewing
SBIR and STTR before they are slated to
expire next year.
Unless they are reauthorized by Congress, both programs will
expire, putting America’s small businesses
at a serious competitive disadvantage. That’s why we’re going
to work together to make sure that
doesn’t happen, and get these programs reauthorized sooner
rather than later. SBIR is a rare example of
a federal program that is more relevant today than when it was
created. Unlike many such programs,
taxpayers consistently get their money’s worth from the SBIR --
and then some. Congress has been able
to modernize the program through reauthorizations over the last
three decades, ensuring its success
and providing a sharp contrast with bloated programs that have
failed to deliver for small businesses.

17. We have been committed to advancing policies that will help
American innovators as they develop the
latest cutting-edge technology and get their products to market.
In this era of globalization, making it easier for small
businesses to develop and commercialize new,
innovative products is essential for both our economic security
and our national security.
SBIR and STTR investments are an important part of this effort
because their awards go to small
innovators at the forefront of today’s scientific and
technological revolution. Deservedly, the programs
have long enjoyed bipartisan support, both on our Committee
and throughout the halls of Congress.
There are more than 28 million small businesses in the United
States which create about 7 out of every
10 new jobs and employ half the private sector workforce.
Small businesses tend to be more nimble
and better able to respond to market changes than their bigger
counterparts, particularly when it comes
to science and technology. This advantage has allowed small
business to drive the innovation sector and
make the United States more agile and competitive in the global
economy.
Washington has always been criticized for lurching from crisis
to crisis and striking last-minute, 11th-
hour deals to pass important legislation, and that criticism is
often deserved. By getting a jump start on
reauthorizing these two key programs, we can start to break this
bad habit while giving stability and
predictability to thousands of entrepreneurs.

18. Our work on SBIR/STTR is already underway. This month, our
Committee held a series of hearings where
we heard from innovators from all walks of life about how
valuable these awards have been to them
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/economy-
budget/273128-reauthorize-key-small-business-programs
and how much they would be helped by early reauthorization
and the certainty it brings. Our
Committee is set to approve a bipartisan reauthorization
measure later this month.
Entrepreneurs constantly tell us that they need more certainty
from Washington so they can better plan
for the future. For many of them, a big part of that future is
their innovation outlook and their research
and development schedules. Congress and President Obama
recognized this fundamental truth at the
end of last year when we made permanent the Research and
Development tax credit for small
businesses.
Early reauthorization of SBIR and STTR would give similar
certainty and predictability to our tech
entrepreneurs so they can focus on getting their products to
market, creating jobs and spurring
economic growth.
Certainty and predictability breed confidence. As Speaker Ryan
recognized when he announced the
House GOP’s “Confident America” focus, restoring confidence
in the American economy is key. Nowhere
is confidence a bigger factor than with entrepreneurship.

19. Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s Founding Fathers and an
accomplished inventor once famously
said, “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”
We won’t put off until tomorrow what our small businesses are
asking that we do today.
Chabot has represented Ohio’s 1st Congressional District since
2011, and from 1995 to 2009. He is
chairman of the Small Business Committee and also sits on the
Foreign Affairs and the Judiciary
committees.
