Tap into mainland South-East Asia

Mainland South-East Asia's mushrooming economy and emerging markets are waiting to be tapped. Providing that projects in unknown territories are thoroughly researched and properly planned and executed, the benefits can be enormous. But there are countless examples of ventures that failed because people fell into the trap of assuming rather than evaluating.

Setting up in a foreign market is a huge undertaking; the basic logistics alone are the stuff of nightmares. The region is fraught with obstacles for the uninitiated. Imagine the time and resources it would take to negotiate completely alien government policies, cultural barriers, lack of access to distribution channels, lack of suitable partners, poor communication, elusive customers, inadequate market data, trade barriers, inadequate infrastructure and legal issues.

There's also the regulatory regimes within each country. Are you able to repatriate profits easily; what are the comparative costs of labour and the tax and social security costs? Finance Ministers regularly review, and often change, their ground rules in order to encourage inward investment or retain businesses that might otherwise be tempted to move elsewhere -- so it pays to keep abreast of their thinking and of the changes they implement. To be successful today, business development must constitute a premeditated program. And this is where LGV steps in.
