The UK depends on its exports. It, therefore, depends on foreign business consultants, to help businesses exchange goods and services with customers located in other countries. Working as an independent consultant can be lucrative - if you have both the necessary skills and the financial support you need

If you are an experienced international trade specialist with practical knowledge of the intricacies of global trade, you have vital skills. Being able to help businesses though the export process, from  identifying opportunities available around the world to securing customers and contracts and finding the most appropriate ways to find capital, facilities and physical resources is very valuable, especially in the current changing global market.

You might have developed your expertise working in foreign investment firms, in an international banks,  with a government organisation or with a specialist consulting firm. Wherever you honed your skills, the best way to make the full use of them, and earn the kind of rewards they deserve may be to run your own consultancy.

As a trade and export consultant your practical experience of real world trade problems and their solutions is valuable - but the difficulty of setting your own consultancy should not be underestimated. Even if you have profitable clients to bring to a new consultancy, you will face competition and the challenge of establishing yourself in a busy market.

Even if you can offer a unique selling point - such as expert knowledge of a niche market - it may be difficult to establish your new venture.

The costs you face setting up a trade consultancy.

You may be working hard to find new clients and to close deals, but achieving the level of actual sales you need to create  real profits from your new venture could take years.

Premises - you will need working space, ideally in a key business centre

Staff - you will need people with a range of skills, including legal experience and languages

Marketing - you will need to establish your new venture, with a website and campaigns to contact potential customers

 Overheads - electricity and business rates will have to be paid for.


You will also need working capital while your new venture establishes itself. Cashflow can be erratic, a downturn in the economy can affect the work available Securing the funding you need to support your own business can be challenging.

At Rangewell we work with professionals across the UK. We know the challenges you face - and the financial solutions that can provide the most effective answers to them. We know that banks are rare able ot help with startups - but we know lenders who may be able to help support your new consultancy business.


 

 

Buying into an existing Trade and export consultancy

Buying into an existing business could be simpler than starting up from nothing. It will mean a list of clients and proven, recusing risks and making lenders more sympathetic, to your needs.

We can help you find solutions to help acquire an existing consultancy include funding for partner buy-ins and Buy-outs, which will let you become a partner or acquire an entire business, and business acquisition funding, which often takes to the form of a secured loan.

Once you  own an established practice, you might want to consider acquisitions, mergers or expansion. The costs involved may be substantial if you want to acquire a complete profitable business - but the rewards may make the investment worthwhile. We we can also provide solutions to let you selectively acquire valuable properties such as the goodwill and client list - from an existing consultancy that is ceasing to trade.

 

Funding premises for your \Trade and export consultancy
Startup or stablished busines, premises will be a major cost. Much of your work will be done over the phone an internet, but a prestige address is still vlauable for your business.

A serviced office may provide a short term solution, but a permanent base of your own may help your business establish itself.  Renting suites can e cost effective, but, there willbe service charges and business rates on top of the bare lease. You may need upfront funding to secure the agreement - we can provide a number of solutions to help you.
