So you want to export but is your organisation really ready to succeed at exporting?

That’s where we come in…

“Getting Ready for Export” is nVision’s ‘one on one’ programme for New Zealand businesses who need to ‘get in shape’ to follow through their export dreams.

Being ready to export is about 2 things:
1. knowing what you want to export, where you want to export it and how you will do it
2. being capable of operating as an organisation of international quality – both at home and in your chosen overseas markets

There is lots of help already available for you to work out the what, where, how of export. NZTE provides a range of support packages and we would recommend that businesses explore offerings from providers such as Katabolt, who offer a series of programmes to support businesses move into new markets overseas.

However, to be eligible for their support and in a good place to make the most of it, you need to be international business “ready”.
