Structured market development – the benefits

Developing new markets is a time-consuming process for businesses, and requires extensive use of capital and human resources. At the same time, there is no guarantee that the project will be successful.  

ESA-Meridian Consulting supports your business in developing Southern African markets with flexible solutions for the set-up of local representatives, distribution channels, joint ventures and partnerships. You will profit from our experience in the economic environment of Southern Africa and reduce your capital and human-resource allocation to a minimum.

The project proposal is tailor made to your specific business requirements. Within the framework of structured project processes ESA-Meridian Consulting accompanies your business through the whole market development process in four steps:

             Step 1: the market evaluation >>> 

             Step 2: the market preparation >>>

            Step 3: the market entry >>> 

            Step 4: the market development >>>

Temporary Management

In the framework of our interim management service ESA-Meridian oversees the business of your South African branch for a limited period. Within this period we mainly focus on distribution and sales oriented services.

Planning, implementation, becoming profitable

We offer an all-inclusive corporate-planning approach. Only a structured proceeding combined with a careful planning period can reduce the risks which might occur during the market entry period. We want to ensure a successful market development with the aim of establishing your company in South Africa and to make it profitable within a short time.

Please contact us anytime for a first informal exchange of ideas. >>>
