Expanding

Posted by Anonymous on 4/15/2011 at 7:32 AM ET 25 Points
my partner and i are looking to expand our business based in slovenia to mainly the UK and the USA.

the problem is that we're completly lost as to where to begin, or how to do it.

Basically, my partner is a trained designer and has since 2007 been creating the most exquisit cloths for women. the cloths are beautiful no doubt, but the slovenian market is so small that we've have virtually noticed any growth in sales.

how do we expand?
Is it enough just to find distributor in different places?

what is the best option for a small designer like us - a distributor or a sales agent?

are there any specialised forums for our line of business that anyone would know of?

thanks you all in advance for your comments.
regards
allan

    If you work with a sales agent, they can find you a distributor and give you the right advice.

    Take a look at replocate.com. I've recommended it before and good companies have had good success there.
