9. Find a customer

Although this is always a challenge, this step should be easier with the information you have assembled.

Your initial market, economic and even cultural research should have provided leads that you can exploit to tap into the new international market.

It is important to make sure you do due diligence on any potential customers.

This Web site also includes numerous links and resources that can help, including information from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Missouri Department of Economic Development.

Another, outstanding source is the Department of Commerce's Export.gov Web site (www.export.gov) which even features an online export questionnaire that will rate a company's export readiness.
