Gaining Work Overseas

•  Have you just started to trade overseas?

•  Or do you need a helping hand to get you started?

•  Would you like to know how to do it successfully and avoid the pitfalls?

Winning business overseas can seem like a daunting task. Where do you start? What practical and financial help is available?

This seminar will give you and your team key insights into how you can win business overseas and give you practical advice and tips on what works and what doesn't.

Discover if you are eligible for funding and see what that could mean for your business.

Come along and see how it is done.
