UK Trade and Industry, in their excellent publication, ‘Bringing home the benefits: How to grow through exporting,’ explain how exporting can lead to growth, further exports and consequently greater growth.
Exporting can also lead to improvements in efficiency, new products and services. Top that off with an increase in confidence, ambition and momentum for greater growth and the idea of exporting your product or service becomes quite exciting.
In the above publication the UKTI reports that a survey of their clients:
- 85 per cent said exporting led to a ‘level of growth not otherwise possible’
- 87 per cent said exporting had significantly improved their profile or credibility
- 78 per cent said exporting had given them exposure to new ideas
- 73 per cent said exporting had increased the commercial lifespan of products or services
- 70 per cent said they had developed or modified a product or service due to doing business abroad
Many potential exporters are put off by the task that lies ahead of them the planning seems to raise more questions than answers and the whole thing project appears too complicated.
