1. Get in touch with embassies and consulates

One of their responsibilities is to assist businesses. They have access to very valuable information and data that can help you identify threats and opportunities. Before taking any steps to export to Latin America, it is very important to carefully go through all this information. This will help you identify which countries in Latin America you want to start doing business with first. The level of help you will receive will depend on how experienced the person in charge of the economic development is. In my experience, I have received both very good and very bad support.

2. Join the local chamber of commerce

These networks are very good at introducing you to valuable contacts who can help your business or even become a customer. To summarize, a chamber of commerce is a group of business people who want to increase their opportunities within their community. They have a board of advisors that represents them. They also plan networking events so you can meet new people. Chances are, you will probably find a group of businesses who are also interested to export to Latin America.

3. Register to online B2B marketplaces

The internet has become an indispensable tool for doing business thanks to B2B marketplaces. These websites play a crucial role in connecting buyers and sellers online by allowing companies to post trade leads which are basically selling and buying offers. Most of the time, premium memberships are also available allowing businesses to have virtual showrooms within the B2B online marketplace. Other services that are usually available are credit reports which allow companies to verify the legal and financial history of a potential business partner. This becomes very important as there is always a possibility of fraud. Try to find regional B2B marketplaces and trade portal that specializes in helping companies export to Latin America.

As you can see, it is not too difficult to start to export to Latin America. Even if it required a lot of initial research, it is a very fast moving and dynamic region that is worth looking into for any serious company wanting to expand to new markets.
