Since the beginning of time, mankind involved in the trade of some sort or another. The role of intermediaries followed not far behind. or means - - Today the middleman is still one of the most attractive business models for those without investing capital. And the advantage is that, unlike agents work franchisees itself. But where do you start to get into this kind of business? Well, a good idea can help:
Here are three recent success:
- Frank Audsley lives in Croydon, south of London. He makes more than € 2.500 per month to export wine to the Far East. he wrote the end of 2010 a training course for import / export agent with a completely open mind on to work what sector. "I have no idea of what products get started. But one night I saw really had to develop a short article in the news about the Chinese population Western tastes. A light on my head went, and I walked the course database of leads to check I. knew I a European winery seeks export opportunities seen. Amazingly, we had agreed a deal and the first buyer found within two months! "
- Meryam Gul is a shopkeeper from North London . They imported fence from India to Britain. She says: "I always wanted to participate in international trade, when I saw relatives in Cyprus a handsome living from it." I discovered how to get involved in import and export without risking capital - good news, since I had some savings. The Fencing opportunity just fell into my hands - an advertisement I saw alarmed me to an Indian supplier to seek representation, and when I contacted him, we beat them really go away. I have since learned how to track the buyer for him, and the product is good and practically sold itself. My husband takes care of the business now, I'm projecting an income of £ 50,000 in this, my second year of trading. "
- Jamie Atwill is a local government workers in the Midlands imported He organic olive oil from Portugal to Ireland and the Netherlands -." I was on holiday with my girlfriend in Galicia, where it comes from. We walked over to Portugal for the day and found this fabulous olive oil up for sale, which amounted to a farm shop. We have details, but only to the United Kingdom at the return we have to think about it, to import here. My girlfriend has a bit of research and came to us with the agency approach as the best up - because we had no capital left. and only the next day I discovered an ad for a home-study course the press. "Between us, we have started by the end of the first manual and within six weeks we had negotiated an exclusive contract with the farmer for Ireland and the Netherlands and have already samples to get to wholesalers throughout the two countries. We have nearly a dozen customers already the olive oil to buy on a regular basis, and we are about from the same region of Portugal to move into organic wines. "
General information about import / export is easy to find, as a rule. Sites like Alibaba and Tradekey are great sources of trade leads, and the support is from a variety of government agencies, associations, etc. However, in spite of opportunities like this, there is surprisingly little on the web (or elsewhere for that matter) are available, such an import / export agent be. There is a large overlap in the amount of skill required, depending on how the business approach, but the business model of the agent is very different:
1) It allows you to get into the world trade, without your own money or your bank manager to risk in stock - a risky business, especially when you start.
2) Because a principal in the hotel together are not legally, you are not legally responsible utitmately, if something goes wrong.
3) Compared to a import / export trader, you are able to have a more flexible approach to business. They are capable of relatively easy to "follow the money" in evolving markets, which makes this business model particularly resistant to recessionary economic cycles. a producing all kinds of different products for different markets
4) A full-time agent could possibly have in place agreements with half a dozen or more vendors. So variety is the name of the game!
While it feels not always as it seems, if you look at the news, the world trade is booming, and it is a great time to get started. In Britain, there are options. British production, after years of neglect, now finds himself in a comparatively strong position for export, with a weak pound and low interest rates. Many of them will be happy to hear from you ...
