FAQ

Before we talk.

Can you help if we already have a distributor?

Yes. We can help evaluate the existing relationship, identify gaps, develop additional channels or strategic accounts and improve local commercial coverage.

Do we need to know exactly which market we want to enter?

No. Market Entry work can help determine which countries, customer segments and routes to market provide the strongest starting point.

Do you only work with Chinese companies?

No. Susam works with international B2B companies expanding into Iberia and Latin America, although Chinese manufacturers and technology companies are a primary focus.
