African SME’s internationalization. (By Sylodium, global import export directory).

International trade, and cooperation are a key driver of small business. 

SMEs involved in international markets are twice as likely to be successful as those that only operate domestically.  Further they can access  to know-how and technology, and they can diversify  their products or services.

With planning and researching properly, local SMEs can successfully expand into new markets, compete with larger companies, and even use their size and nimbleness like one of their advantages.

Although, besides insufficient turnover, and high customs duties, infrastructure inefficiencies (like information,  and lack of contacts) are a normal disadvantage of SMEs compared to larger companies with greater resources.
