Doing Business in Mexico (Scroll Down to Read More)
In the scope of international trade doing business with Mexico seems like a great opportunity as Canada and Mexico are both part of the NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement) offering many advantages in terms of taxes, duties and procedures between the two countries. Furthermore, the closeness between both countries and the sharing of the West and East shorelines along the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans offer many alternatives of transportation including land, sea and air. The opportunity looks good indeed but in order to success a sound strategy must be set and each one of the steps on the business road must be carefully analyzed. Depending on your specific situation you may want to do business with Mexico by Importing or Exporting; or perhaps getting into a partnership, alliance or joint venture; or looking for a distributor or Master Franchisee. There are certainly different ways of getting into an alliance with your Mexican partner, each one of them offering specific business advantages…and in some times disadvantages! Regardless of the strategy you choose, you should consider that doing business in Mexico is completely different than doing so in Canada: To start with, are you able to manage the differences in language and business cultures? Furthermore, in Mexico having the right contacts, knowing how to deal with the local bureaucracy and knowing the “who is who”, is essential. Avoid turning a promising business into a nightmare process or even worse… Mexico Consulting is based in Canada to help you in doing Business in Mexico, supported by an extensive network of onsite professionals.
