Internationalization strategy

​

The countries on which AL1 International works offer numerous possibilities for internationalization: Distribution, export, Import, strategic alliances, business creation, joint venture, industrial relocation, outsourcing, etc.

 

They are also very different, culturally, economically, politically and socially, as well as with regard to logistics infrastructure, wage policies and the level of training of the workforce and local management.

 

The cost of entry specific to each country, the evaluation of opportunities and risks, the length of the sales cycle, bureaucracy, corruption, legal guarantees of investments and export of capital and profits, the rates of changes, the presence of competition, the strategic opportunity of regional agreements, quality of life, etc. demonstrate the importance of defining a personalized strategy, adapted to the objectives and possibilities of the company.

 

SMEs / SMIs, for whom the development of new markets, reducing costs and protecting innovation are major objectives, must be particularly vigilant in limiting the financial and operational risk linked to inappropriate decisions and Business Plans which do not take into account all the realities and particularities of the different countries and in particular the decision-making processes.

 

In this context, the advice and support of professionals to define and implement the best strategy and ensure the launch of a project under the best conditions, represents a very low cost compared to the cost of internationalization errors or an extension of the duration of the business or establishment processes.

 

Make a mistake in choosing the country best suited to your project, receive goods that do not meet defined quality standards, be a victim of commercial fraud, face logistics problems, goods blocked at customs, recruitment error local, etc. can be very expensive.

 

Your strategy is key, and we want it to be successful.

​

Our intervention aimed at advising, guiding, or validating a strategy, can be limited to a day of intervention to orient the reflection and avoid major errors, or else lead to a detailed proposal which can include, independently of country-specific aspects, a market study, a diagnosis on the possibilities of the company with regard to its internationalization project (Financial, commercial and production capacity), training of export staff, help in writing the business plan for research funding, etc.

Always at the fairest price taking into account the possibilities of the company.

​

Business support

 

The concept of AL1 international is based on supporting its customers in their internationalization processes.

 

Whatever the size or budget of the project, we support our client personally or in liaison with our partners, from the start to the end of the mission in their country of origin and / or in the host country depending on needs . If we work on the basis of a fixed price we share the possible risk of exceeding the budget, until the objective is reached.

 

If our client wishes, we support him in the negotiations and we can provide full logistics for travel and business stays. 

​

Translation services and interpreters

 

In each country we have for our customers translators and interpreters from Spanish or French, into the local language or English.

We can translate your presentations, documentation, letters, proposals and carry out certified translations necessary for most administrative procedures for creation or tendering. We indicate to you for each project the documents which will have to be certified.
