Exporting & Internationalisation
Exploring overseas marketplaces is an excellent opportunity to expand your customer base and increase your turnover. If you’ve already established your business here in the UK, exporting is a chance to share your products and services around the world. Whether in established markets such as Europe and the US, or high-growth economies such as China, India or Brazil, we can help make your business a success overseas with our exporting advice and support. Below we highlight the Local and National support that your business can access. We also highlight the opportunities that the Humber Freeport will bring to the local area and how Lincolnshire County Council's civic relationship with Hunan, China may benefit your business. Finally, we share information about New Trade Agreements following the UK exit from the European common market as well as some market data information to help you research new overseas markets for your products and services.
