With the Initial Market Check (IMC), a South Africa-based specialist will contact 5-10 relevant partners in South Africa, present your company and products to them, gather their feedback, and prepare a report summarizing their feedback, including Commercial Service recommendations for next steps.
The program helps companies determine if the market is substantial enough to merit further investigation or travel to the market. Many US clients have used the Initial Market Check prior to committing to an International Partner Search or Gold Key Service. If the company decides to proceed with a Gold Key or International Partner Search based on the findings in the Initial Market Check, the fee paid for the Initial Market Check will be subtracted from the Gold Key fee.
Cost: $250.
Delivery: Please allow 3 weeks to prepare
