CROSS FRONTIERS uses a phased approach to ensure its clients receive best value for money (fees are only charged one phase at a time) and to guarantee a highly personalised service:

DESK PHASE:  We initially work very closely with clients to understand their expansion ambitions (organic or via acquisition), investment plans or supply chain needs.  We use open and semi-open source data, as well as our extensive global contacts, to identify potential new markets, acquisitions, strategic partners, suppliers or investment opportunities.  If a client wishes to progress with any of the identified proposals, we undertake detailed market analysis; profile competitor and consumer landscapes; and identify entry barriers and associated political, cultural and economic risks.

FIELD PHASE:  We subsequently carry out in-depth field research in order to finalise our evaluation of the target market, customer-base, supplier, partner or acquisition; to identify hidden risks; and to map the legal and regulatory  environment.

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE:  We can also provide practical assistance to clients to help them get established in a new market.  We can help broker supplier, merger or acquisition deals; advise on legal and regulatory compliance; and ensure environmental and social responsibilities are adhered to.
