Employ a graduate for 12 months to help boost your cross-border export sales

Cross-Border Business makes sense
We know that one of the biggest challenges for businesses currently is to deal with the decrease in demand in their home market. Exporting is clearly one option which can significantly help increase turnover and enhance business performance. For a first-time exporter, trading in the opposite jurisdiction is the perfect place to begin. It is geographically closer, there are no language barriers and companies can gain valuable experience managing a different currency before moving into more complex European markets. Cross-border trade is valued at €2.5bn so substantial opportunities in the opposite jurisdiction still exist, however many small businesses quite simply just don’t have the time, resources or knowledge about where to start.
