        Doing Business Abroad Checklist

        Consider the following when expanding a business overseas in both established and emerging markets.

        • Legality. Is the contract binding in that country? Where will legal proceedings be handled in the event of a dispute?
        • Social norms. Research the general opinions expressed by the public on meetings, punctuality and dressing.
        • Business analysis. Do target market research to determine if the business operation is feasible.
        • Business protection. How long does it take to start a business? How do you protect your intellectual property?
        • Regulations. Comply with tax rules, export and employment laws when setting up your business operation or exporting.
        • Foreign exchange. What’s the currency exchange rate? Figure out how you are going to manage risks and find a safe and efficient way to send and receive funds abroad.
