This week sees the UK\u2019s \u2018Export Week\u2019; a government launched series of events around the UK to promote exporting to small businesses.<\/p>\n
The aim of \u2018Export Week\u2019 is to increase the number of small businesses that currently export.\u00a0 The national target set by the government is for 100,000 more businesses exporting over the next 5 years.<\/p>\n
This would increase the number of UK manufacturers that export from 20% to 25%, and add to the UK economy an estimated \u00a336 billion.<\/p>\n
UK businesses can see an increase in up to 34% of productivity when they start exporting, so if you have the opportunity to export \u2013 it\u2019s a no-brainer!<\/p>\n
Small businesses might be daunted by the prospect of exporting from the UK, however, it is becoming increasingly more evident that smaller businesses can also win international business.<\/p>\n
Of course, larger firms may already have trained staff in exporting their goods, and may even have dedicated staff for this purpose.<\/p>\n
Smaller firms need not fear; this is where a freight forwarder can step in.\u00a0 By appointing a freight forwarder to handle their export shipment, the whole process can be taken care of.\u00a0 By appointing an experienced freight forwarder (such as Mercator Cargo) the weight can be lifted off your shoulders and you can be safe in the knowledge that your cargo is in expert hands.<\/p>\n
