What could go wrong in international expansion? (Sylodium, import export directory).

It is necessary a plan for a long- term investment in new markets, not a short-term win, and deciding to become a global company as soon as possible. But you should be cautious, be clear, and be patient. The reason can't be, only, that the domestic market isn't enough for your business. 

Companies who have products and services that are successful in their own country could not have the same appeal and could not fit in other markets, so it is necessary to get an adequate market research to avoid this error.

Not underestimating the operating costs in an international market , so  you should have a local general manager in the new market, or hiring a strategic acquisition. 

You should get expert advice because international business is not simply an expansion of their domestic operations beyond your country. It is very much a different business with additional requirements, considerations and cautions than you should estimate before. Each country needs a different strategy, although they speak the same language and they are neighbours.
