Many companies do not expand on an international level because they believe too much the exporting myths. This article intends to encourage small and medium sized companies by destroying some of the most common exporting myths:
Myth 1: Small companies don't have a chance to succeed in exporting.
It is a wrong opinion that exports are only for advanced businesses. The statistics show that small and medium-sized companies represent about 97 % of all exporters.
Myth 2: Exporting is a high risk business.
In fact, all businesses are risky but this should not stop you to try. The experience of hundreds of small businesses shows that international trade has positive effects on small-sized enterprises.
Myth 3: There is a considerable number of customs regulations and procedures you should take into account.
It is true that every country has its specific laws and regulations regarding export and import. It is also true that there exist a large number of tools and organizations intended to provide help and assistance for exporters and importers.
Myth 4: International shipping is too difficult
Shipping may be complex, but once again there exist a lot of services that can help you through the entire process. Export Portal, for example, provides assistance with shipping for all its clients, thus making it easier!
