Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.
There are a number of important considerations to work through before you start importing or exporting, especially those that can help you minimise the potential risks of trading internationally.
This workshop will guide you through a pre-planning checklist of what you will need to consider (including the required registrations), before you start trading with international markets.
This topic covers:
- An overview of basic steps to lower your risk when importing or exporting;
- Preparing costings and assessing viability and feasibility for your concept;
- Understanding international banking, finance, logistics and Incoterms;
- Financial support options available from the federal government.
This workshop is for business owners considering importing or exporting, or existing business owners that import or export and would like a refresher.
The facilitator for this event, Belmont Business Enterprise Centre (Belmont BEC) is a non profit community based organisation established in 1994 to assist in the growth and development of small business. Their presenter has 20 years business experience, many of those spent in the area of importing & exporting.
This session is presented by the SBDC, the only agency in the Western Australia dedicated to helping small business. In fact, we have been providing practical support to small business owners for more than 30 years.
