Market entry mode

A critical step when expanding to a new market is selecting the best market entry mode for your business. Different approaches all have pros and cons. Deciding which to choose is as much about market insight as to business logic.

The choice of entry route will be dictated by consumer habits, culture, legal status, taxes and tariffs, local business practices, the cooperativeness of potential partners, and more. As a rule of thumb, the less exposure to cost and risk you have, the less control and margin you can secure.

Business structure

When you decide to start your operations, there are multiple types of business entities you can choose to form. They vary based on key considerations, such as the nature of your business activity, what liability protection is needed, and the impact of taxation.
