For complete coverage of a designated market we use all channels of the search: direct ones, business associations, a system of commercial agencies, chambers of commerce and industry, opportunities of “the Russian export center”. In the process of work, specialists of Mongerine receive the maximum of initial information from a potential partner: from whom, at the present moment, such products can be bought, how much they cost, terms of the soonest purchase, contact information of a seller and responsible specialists.  

We work according to the formula “contact = contract” and, at a request of a Client, we may represent his interests and negotiate on his behalf to the date of entering into a contract.

The estimate will include the best option of transport logistics based on the price to quality ratio.

The estimate is provided in MS Excel to help employees of your company in making such estimates in future on their own each time it becomes necessary.

Thereby, analytics of Mongerine consists exceptionally of actual information from market experts. The service results in a full-fledged guide for the target market.

Export oriented companies are not always ready to create an independent subdivision inside the organization and pay a competitive salary to multilingual specialists. However, such department is a must-have. This is why we have created the service of export sales outsourcing (rental of the foreign activity department).

We are not into telemarketing, calling around based on ordinary “scripts”. The Mongerine team implements the full cycle of sales. At least seven of our employees come from sales departments of large businesses and state structures (“Transmachholding”, LLC., “Concern Kalashnikov” LLC., “Sinara Group” LLC. etc.).

We are pretty much flexible with our Clients and we can undertake only certain functions: the initial stage of sales (identification of needs, decision-makers), sale of specific kinds of products, sales in a certain country or within a specific market segment.

Entrance to the foreign market through local agents is one of the best options based on the price to efficiency ratio. And we help to find such companies and establish long-term business relationships with them.

The Mongerine team thoroughly analyzes parameters of a potential partner: professional experience at a certain market, line of products, financial health, conflict with competitive brands, availability of public contracts and contracts with the biggest purchasing companies. We believe that our company is second to none at the market of Central and South East Europe. Backed by representatives almost in each country of this region, we are ready to perform functions of your dealer independently.

The service eventually results in creation and structuring of work with the dealer network, distributors and regional representatives at the target market.

The service results in the report that contains the list and detailed characteristics of suppliers of required goods.

Significance of a properly made contract for successful foreign trade supply is hard to overestimate: this document not only juristically validates understandings between parties and decreases risks of subsequent disputes but also forms the basis of customs clearance procedures and exchange control. These factors significantly increase responsibility required for the analysis of such contracts.

Backed by the experience in the full-service support of international transactions, lawyers of Mongerine provide Clients with ideally prepared documents only and thereby considerably minimize the risk of red tape occurrence and other unexpected situations in the course of subsequent supplies.

Over the recent years the international tax structuring of business has become especially important against the integration of the Common Reporting Standard system, tightening of control over taxpayers at the Russian and international levels.

Early preparation for an international transaction and its proper structuring that considers all applicable norms allows our Clients both to reduce exchange and tax risks and to optimize tax liabilities related to this or that operation.

Contractor check prior to dealmaking allows to cut risks immeasurably at low cost. However, each country has its own peculiarities of such checking and they need to be considered for obtaining relevant and correct information.

The proper strategy for protection of intellectual property when entering the foreign market and its implementation provide exporters with a number of significant advantages:

• Reduction of risk of intellectual property counterfeit and theft by third parties, which is especially critical for sales in Asia;
• Intellectual property objects registered abroad become valuable assets of an exporter, which is positively treated by investors and banks at customs clearance and trade operations on the particular market.
• Preliminary check ensures the absence of claims from third parties related to violation of their patent, intellectual and other rights at customs clearance and trade operations on the particular market.

Assessment of products compliance to the requirements of the designated market is an inevitable stage of an international supply. It often entails significant challenges for an exporter: analysis of the target market legislation in a foreign language, search for a licensed certification institute and communication with it. It is not always possible to do this without any assistance and quite often economically unviable.

Spending considerably less resources, you can assign these matters to Mongerine specialists. Our team is not only pretty much experienced in obtaining CE, ISO, QS and other certificates for more than 50 different products, but it also cooperates with leading test laboratories of Europe.
