Going Global Tough for Small Businesses

Much is said about the global economy and the need for all businesses to “think globablly”. However, a report issued by the SBA Office of Advocacy suggests that the road overseas for small businesses is a difficult one to navigate.
“Small business owners may not have the time and money to invest in overcoming barriers to exporting, suggests a study released today at the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce Business Summit. The study closely examined barriers to exporting faced by a panel of South Carolina small businesses.”
The barriers seem to be many and they are most often situation specific, so the report did not generalize a list of basic barriers that all small businesses face. This makes finding solutions for small businesses looking to go overseas much more difficult.
