BUSINESS PLANNING

Congratulations on your decision to enter the ever-expanding global market! We realize that entering the ever-expanding global market is a major decision for your company; a decision full of risk and the unexpected. And yet it is also a decision full of promise, of confidence in yourself and your business, of your desire to move to the next level and reap even greater rewards.

You can greatly reduce your level of risk by hiring Potomac B.C.. Strategically located in Washington, DC, we have close relations with the authorities who facilitate international commerce. This carefully cultivated network greatly benefits our clientele, and allows us to inform you immediately of any legal changes or business opportunities.

When you hire us, our personnel will be put at your disposal with only one goal in mind: to work for the success of your corporate venture in America.

Corporate Analysis
We will conduct a thorough survey of your company to determine its strengths and weaknesses, needed modifications to corporate culture, management and employee resistance to and/or truly valuing and celebrating change. It will essentially be a comprehensive human resources audit. A deep and enduring culture of trust must exist in companies that expect to achieve excellence in the workplace.

Market Analysis
We will conduct an in-depth analysis of the market into which you want to expand so that we can provide you with accurate and up-do-date information, design a realistic timetable for establishing your new corporate presence, and inform you of real and potential competitors.

Cost Estimation
We will prepare a report of expenses that you should consider: office space, personnel salaries, equipment costs and availability, paperwork, licensing and registration, legal fees, and all other relevant expenses.

Business Contacts
We will contact potential investors, arrange for you to meet them (several meetings a day, if desired), and fully prepare you so that your meeting will have the greatest chance of success. We will provide transportation to and from the meeting site, translators and interpreters so that everything is clear to both parties, and legal and financial advice.

Publicity
Trade fairs and exhibitions are a fundamental part of the American business scene. We will keep you abreast of scheduled events that you should attend. In addition, we will make all arrangements for renting a booth, ensuring a good location so that you get the maximum amount of exposure and traffic, and staffing it with people who are thoroughly familiar with your company and product/service. We also will take care of the paperwork needed to import any of your products that you wish to exhibit.

Business Travel Facilitation
Traveling to America involves many things and can be quite complicated: deter-mining which type of visa is necessary, making plane and hotel reservations, securing local trans-portation, making sure that your family has the opportunity to make educational and cultural excursions while you are busy meeting potential investors and clients, and providing interpreters. Our staff will take care of all such concerns, leaving you free to focus on the purpose of your trip.

Exporting American Products
America manufactures many things that are in great demand around the world. If you are looking to fulfill such a need in your own country, we will assist you in the following areas: import/export regulations, shipping and insur-ance, customs and duties, and all related paperwork.

Temporary Office Space
We will provide you with a temporary office and staff for the duration of your stay.
