A Practical Workshop for Export-Ready Businesses

Entering international markets is not about guesswork or enthusiasm. It is about preparation, research, and making the right moves in the right order.

This session is designed for businesses that want to explore international trade properly, reduce risk, and avoid expensive mistakes when entering new countries.

You will focus on understanding where to expand, how to prepare, and how to build the right foundations before you trade overseas.


What You’ll Work On

• Identifying the right country for your product or service
• Market research that goes beyond surface-level data
• Understanding how business is actually done in your target market
• Preparing for and getting value from trade missions
• Building trusted local partners and contacts
• Understanding customers, culture, and buying behaviour
• Legal, regulatory, and compliance basics
• Getting the right paperwork and structures in place


Who This Is For

For business owners considering international expansion, founders exploring export opportunities, and established businesses looking to enter new markets with more confidence, structure, and control.


What You’ll Leave With

Led by Alan Rides and International Trade Expert with over 30 years experise across the globe, you will leave with a clearer understanding of which markets make sense for your business, how to research them properly, what trade missions are really for, how to build local partnerships, and what legal and operational steps are required before you trade internationally.

This event is part of Hounslow Council's Business First, which is running from December 2025 to March 2026. It is run by Hounslow Council, CPG, Smarter Society and West London Chambers of Commerce, all collaborating to support local businesses and fuel the local economy.
