1. Assessment of Financial Triggers
Together, we work out a detailed 5-year plan including the current year. In addition to the usual KPIs such as sales, profitability, and market share, we will evaluate many other factors (see further below).
Also bear in mind that you will be more attractive to new clients as you produce on their continent, so an improved return service, customer service or faster delivery will give you the opportunity to attract new potential leads.
Thus, higher objectives should be achieved with an expansion.
Any expansion must be well thought through as it should be a long-term investment.
