Support For Challenges
International firms entering emerging market such as Africa face a complex set of challenges.
In most cases the business culture and infrastructure are less developed than in developed economies. In Africa this has lead to inertia in creating a stable commercial framework. Local legislation is also different in every region.
A reliable resource supply chain cannot be guaranteed in developing markets so local knowledge is essential.
Gaining traction for a product or service in developing markets can be an uphill task due to the differences in culture, business practice, language or consumer understanding.
Environment also plays a factor. Local conditions and infrastructure are often very different, so an understanding of the best ways to manage local conditions is incredibly important for new entrants.
Finding and retaining qualified staff can also be a barrier to success; however via the SAT Business Hub, along with our experience of staffing internationally, we enable clients to access the resources they need for their specific business sector.
SAT Consultants helps with all these potential snags, with knowledgeable and experienced partners in situ who have the resources and first hand experience necessary to facilitate successful entry into a new market.
Our assistance for new market entrants helps to create real momentum overcoming practical challenges while providing advice on local business practices, regulations, environment and terminology, alongside practical and pragmatic facilitation on the ground.
Partnership & Collaboration
In many emerging markets, including Africa, It is common practice for new entrants to partner with local businesses to deliver goods and services.
The local knowledge we provide combined with our international experience allows us to facilitate productive partnerships to successfully deliver goods and services in challenging environments.
SAT Consultants works with businesses at both ends of the chain, local and internationally, to create mutually beneficial partnerships. In many cases we will be involved prior to the tender process all the way through to project management.
