Exporting

Our Exporting pages make frequent references to government-supported UK Trade & Investment, who provide advice and guidance to smaller firms selling their products and services worldwide through their own website, call centre and International Trade Teams.

UK Trade & Investment have recently launched a new service your passport to export success which provides:

• A free assessment of your company's capability for export
• The help of your own locally-based expert in International Trade to help with the development of an Export plan on a one-to-one basis, free of charge;
• Subsidised flexible training on specific skills needed for export;
• Access to UK Trade & Investment's export services: market research, export sales leads, foreign language trade literature, all provided at subsidised cost;
• A visit to an overseas market identified in your Export plan;
• Aftercare services to help you continue your successful development in international trade.

All of these tools will receive independent accreditation to make sure they are delivered to a consistently high standard.
