Many U.S. small-to-medium-size companies want to enter the European markets but do not because they do not believe they have the resources to retain a multinational consulting firm to help them. So, they “start” and “stop” by attending trade shows looking for one buyer at a time, and working through U.S. government agencies that do help, but only up to a point. What is often lacking is the advice and encouragement of an affordable consultant who can help the company confidently move through a process of finding a trusted European partner who can help them enter and, over time, be successful in the European markets.
