Compiled by the analysts at Creditsafe, Best Practices for Safeguarding Your International Business “In the not too distant past, doing business in far off countries like Russia and China could be prohibitive and cumbersome. In today’s fast paced, Web driven world, international business relationships can be cemented with a simple click of your keyboard or a text exchange. Although the landscape has changed, the rules surrounding credit and the associated risk remain the same,” said Matthew Debbage, president of Creditsafe’s American and Asia-Pacific Operations. Whether you’re doing business with a company across the street or across the ocean, the same basic premise holds true you have to know who you are working with. “It’s all about knowing your customer or KYC. This is especially true when you’re dealing with businesses headquartered in countries such as China and Russia which were a mystery to many until very recently,” continued Debbage. Creditsafe’s top recommendations for individuals or companies seeking to do business in a complex economy include: Do your due diligence and know your customer. Before you enter into any business relationship or offer payment terms, know who you are dealing with. Remember conducting business internationally is very different from doing it in the US. Be aware of cultural differences and sensitivities. Every country has its own set of rules for conducting business domestically and abroad. It is incredibly important to understand the terms and parame-ters of a country’s business landscape before going into it. A country’s political environment can have a huge influence on your ability to conduct business. Be sure to have a good grasp of the current political environment. Affiliates or related companies could put a damper on a company’s financials. It is important to determine the level of risk and/or debt associated with a company’s affiliates.
