What does an export consultancy do?
It helps a company sell outside its home market with a method: choosing the countries with the most potential, finding and qualifying distributors and importers, setting export prices and Incoterms, and following the negotiation through to the first orders and repeat sales.
How do I know if my company is ready to export?
The starting point is an assessment of the product, production capacity, certifications and company goals. From there we can say which markets make sense now and what needs to be adjusted first.
How do you find distributors and importers abroad?
By mapping the channels in each country, qualifying companies by their customer base and technical capability, and opening conversations directly and at international trade shows. In our projects this has resulted in 3 to 7 distributors in the first year, depending on the sector.
How long does it take to start selling in another country?
It depends on the product, the country and the regulatory requirements. Products that need registration, such as healthcare products, take longer than products without that requirement. The initial assessment already gives a realistic timeline for each market.
Do I need registration or certification to sell abroad?
In many sectors, yes. Healthcare products need regulatory approval in each country, such as the FDA in the United States or DIGEMID in Peru. Global Mind advises which registrations and certifications each market requires and how to plan for them.
Do you also help foreign companies enter Brazil?
Yes. We analyze the Brazilian market, advise on regulation (ANVISA, INMETRO and others), select distributors and sales agents, and offer commercial representation.
Which sectors and regions does Global Mind work in?
Sectors that demand technical and regulatory rigor, such as medical devices, healthcare, automotive and food equipment, with experience in Latin America, North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Oceania.
