Thinking about selling your product overseas but not sure where to start?
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Hattie I’Anson, who shares her experience expanding her family-run businesses - British Horse Feeds and The Golden Paste Company - into international markets.
If you've reached a point where you're seeing demand outside your home country, it's time to start thinking about exporting as a growth strategy. But it’s not as simple as just shipping internationally - there’s a lot to consider before you scale.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How to know when you're ready to export your product
- Choosing between direct selling vs distributor-led expansion
- Why being strategic about your export markets is crucial
- How to leverage free government support (like the UK’s Department for International Trade)
- Real-life lessons and practical tips from Hattie’s journey expanding into multiple countries
Whether you're just starting to see international demand or you’re planning a full-scale expansion, this episode will help you get clear on the key decisions to make before going global.
