Market Entry & Opening Doors

An advisor with personal experience in the internationalization of business can significantly help in the planning and implementation of the company's global market entry. You avoid mistakes, save money and progress faster when you don't have to go alone. Boardio has 10,000 advisors from 100 different countries, which means that if necessary, we can find experts in a certain industry from a certain country, in which case the dynamics of your industry are already familiar to the applicants.

If you are planning to start a business in a certain country, you should consider hiring a local advisor to support market entry. These advisors typically have long work experience in the field and thus extensive networks with the right people and insight into the competitive situation in the field.

Examples of how Boardio advisors have helped our clients:

- open doors to potential customers or partners
- preparing an internationalization strategy
- analysis and selection of the target markets
- supporting internationalization projects
- creating partnerships, opening connections with foreign customers

Advisors for growth challenges

Boardio started to search for an advisor to help us on the challenges of growth. We had a high level of standards and required, among other things, managerial experience in our industry. Boardio found a really good candidate with whom we are now working with.

I can highly recommend Boardio to any company that needs honest and experienced external views to support business growth.

Experience and knowledge sharing

We have established a relationship with a new advisor through Boardio that could potentially be our partner in Finland. This advisor shares our vision and has more experience than us, we see that this can go well.

I think Boardio is a good way to seek advisors who complement skills you want to grow your business and expertise.
