This interactive workshop aims to put barriers to international growth into perspective and show how you can identify the potential risks for your business and overcome them.
Delegates will learn about all the relevant areas of risk and understand what they need to know. It will cover what aspects can be supported by banks, accountants, lawyers, freight forwarders, translation companies, and other international busines service providers.
