Beginning An Import Export Consulting Firm

By Allyson Burke


Commencing an import export consulting firm can be challenging. This is because, as an entity serving people from different nations, agreements and harmonization of laws and regulations of trade amongst them could be a cumbersome task to undertake but, with the right personnel, nothing is too hard to achieve. As the name suggests such an entity is charged with the responsibility of guiding these two parties; exporters and importers.

Commencing is not that easy. A few things have to be put into scrutiny. First is the determination of the line of operation which it will venture into as far as returns and the demand for those products is concerned. Whether one or two the owners have to agree on this with regards to amount of investment they are willing to put in.

Acquisition of the right tools and gadgets for offering these services comes in handy. These are basically used for communication and storage of data. They are therefore needed for communication with clients all over the world. They include, computers, printers, fax machines, internet and e-mail services, phones, answering machine, postage, stationery and office supplies.

Operation of these equipments will require personnel who are very competent in handling them. This calls for employment of staff that will be situated in the offices and direct the information received to the people in charge. Some of these are office messengers, telephone operators, computer wizards, secretaries, customer care representatives, general care persons and professionals in the field of finance and consultations.

Making contacts is another thing which the owner of this kind of business needs to do. This involves creating advertisements all over the world for exporters and importers to know of the existence of this corporation. Contacts can be established by use of internet, chambers of commerce, magazines or even social media such as Facebook and twitter. Such Medias which boast of millions of subscribers, the resultant results are expected within limited time duration.

When dealing with two clients of the opposite divide; an exporter and importer, the first relevant thing for this corporation is to get them together so that a bond of trust can be determined and cultivated within them. This is vital to avoid dealing with someone who is a fraudster. Usually the organization ends up being held responsible where one of the parties decide not to honor the deal and vanishes. Such a case becomes tricky to handle.

Consultation services are the main area of operation of this business. Here, it is all about offering pieces of advice concerning the export import trade. Such advises are needed for making informed decisions concerning the entire transactions. Due to the existence of professionals in this field, such a task is easily handled.

Linguistic support is another area of operation for import export consulting firm. This one deals with the interpretation of information being passed between the two parties as the English language is not universally common. Such interpretations will be required when it comes to mails, web pages, brochures, advertisements, market writing and contact message.
