How to find Latin American business opportunities in Latin America
1. The first thing you should do is get in touch with the embassy of the country you are interested to do business with. They always have a wealth of data and information that can help you determine how you will penetrate the market. The level of service will vary from embassy to embassy unfortunately.
2. Secondly, you should get in touch with Chamber of Commerce. They plan a lot of networking events that can help you promote your products or service to the Latin American business community. The only reproach I have about them is that they have high yearly membership fees. This is harder for small business with very little budget to join.
3. I love online B2B trade portal to look for potential clients as these websites are available 24 hours a day allowing me total flexibility on my search. To register, it is absolutely free therefore requiring no commitment from you. Once you are satisfied with their service, you can upgrade to premium memberships to better brand your company. These premium services are generally well priced and affordable.
As you can see, beginning to do Latin American business can be quite simple even though it will require some initial time in the beginning. It will definitely be worth it in the long term.
