(BEEPING) KOCHIE: Australia continues to strengthen its trade ties throughout the Asia and Pacific regions making it more achievable than ever for small businesses to export their goods. The first step towards exporting is to locate a promising market, being careful not to spread your resources too thinly. You're unlikely to be the first Australian exporter in the market, so shorten the learning curve by tapping into the experience of others. Many exporters will be willing to share their market insights, which can save you from pitfalls and help to find suitable agents and distributors. To start the conversation, contact Austrade about export networking opportunities. And because exchange rate movements can impact your business, it's important to have the right tools and strategies in place to manage the risk.
