About UK Trade & Investment
UK Trade & Investment Team South East is a government organisation dedicated to helping companies in the South East achieve their full international business potential. It combines the expertise of their local International Trade Advisers with the national resources of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's (FCO) global network of Trade Development Officers to help you win business overseas.
The Passport to Export initiative brings together many of these services in a cost-effective package designed both for new and less experienced exporters. It provides all the relevant tools to help develop an export strategy and assistance to access any training needed, be it in administration, documentation or cultural awareness. Passport provides help before a visit to an overseas market and will evaluate the findings on your return.
They also provide bespoke research into the potential markets for your goods and services. This is carried out by the Commercial Officer on the ground in your target market.
You'll be in direct contact via the web and together a plan for breaking into that market will be drawn up. They can also help with meetings with potential customers, agents or distributors. The service is government subsidised, with some elements even free of charge.
