Services
Export & Market Entry
Market-entry strategy, market research and real meetings with importers, distributors and buyers, for businesses in any sector that want to sell beyond Greece but have no contacts abroad yet.
We find your buyers and partners in the UK and Europe.
Many Greek businesses have products and services that can compete anywhere, but no one of their own on the ground abroad. That is exactly where we come in. We work from the UK and Greece, understand both business cultures, and put you in front of the people who make decisions.
We start with strategy (which market, which channel, what price) and finish with meetings, trade shows and orders. We work with businesses in every sector: food and drink, industrial goods, technology, energy, B2B services and consumer products.
Exporting is a marathon, not a sprint. Good planning saves you from expensive mistakes, and consistency wins the second order.

Frequently asked questions
Which market should I start with: the UK or the EU?
It depends on your product, demand, competition, import rules and the final price. We usually recommend starting with one or two markets and working them in depth. Our market research gives you an evidence-based answer.
Do you only work with food and drink?
No. We have deep food and drink experience, but we work with businesses in every sector: industrial and consumer goods, technology, energy and B2B services.
How long until the first order?
Exporting takes patience. From first contact to first order can take months, with samples, questions and trials. That is why follow-up and a steady presence matter as much as the first impression.
What changes with the UK–EU SPS agreement?
The UK government intends the agreement to take effect in mid-2027. It is expected to remove export health certificates and most routine border checks for agrifood goods from the EU. Until then, current rules apply. It mainly concerns food, but it shows how fast the framework changes, which is why we keep you informed about what affects your sector.
Do you sell on our behalf?
We can act as your outsourced export manager and represent your business to buyers. Scope and fees are agreed in writing for each engagement.
Which market will be your first?
In a free 30-minute call we look at what you already have, which markets suit you and what is missing before your first buyer meeting.
