How do I find a Business Partner in Latvia to develop my Business
Baltic Business News in UK
There are many Manufacturing Businesses in Latvia looking to do business outside of the Baltic State countries. Follows is a list of a few places to contact to get started, even if you are a UK company or a Latvian company:
British Chamber of Commerce in Latvia
Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Investment & Development Agency of Latvia
Association of Mechanical Engineering and Metal work
But it is still a challenging task for Latvian companies to find a partner in the UK and UK companies to find a partner in Latvia. Some of main differences found are cultural, process, time zone (but not such an issue), but this is not as changeling as it is in finding a business partner in India, Brazil or China.
A good first step is to start sending emails introducing yourself but keeping it simple with not to much content as most organisations get many correspondences each day, you have to find the right few words. I always say is to build a business friendship first and advance from that.
Following on from that is to produce a firm overseas business development plan as this would encourage the increase of international business development.
