Our in depth knowledge of the US market means we can research specific target markets and assist companies by acting on their behalf to set up meetings with prospective trade partners. Once communications are established we can either continue with negotiations or smooth the way for your staff to take over. We can network on behalf of companies at industry events and meetings and make those all-important first introductions. We can also help you to organise a presence at exhibitions and trade fairs. You know your own business better than anyone, but when you are trading internationally that may not be enough. Knowledge of an international market and the business culture can take years of experience and we can help you gain that experience by talking you through the process and giving you the confidence to overcome potential difficulties. Our team of experienced exporters can help you with all aspects of trading with the US, including information on both state and federal regulations, because we have direct knowledge of the marketplace. Cockpit can help you with the practicalities of exporting and could act as your agent in the US. We have offices in the UK and US and can therefore offer companies real hands-on help, from airport collection to liaising with British Embassy staff in the US - in fact, anything that makes your life easier and your business more profitable. We can also source distributors and negotiate on your behalf. Many first time exporters typically enter into commercial agreements with importers / distributors that can work against the UK company and actually keep them out of the market for a period. Cockpit can assist in the drafting of the vital commercial agreement. Companies wishing to test the US market can often benefit from a local US presence. We can assist you with setting up an office presence anywhere across the US, which could be invaluable in gaining credibility in this marketplace.
