Bank is very important for our daily life right now. Maybe without bank, our life will be more difficult because bank can help us to make our financial transaction become easier. You can imagine that if there is no bank in our life, it will be so hard for us to send or receive money from other people. Not only that, we will be very hard to save our money, moreover if we have much money.

Several decades ago, when banks were not established yet, people feel so hard to make financial transaction. They can’t make transaction with people who live far from them. They can only make transaction with people near them. If they want to save their money, they can only save it in their home, usually they have a place to save their money but it can’t contain much money. But now, you don’t have to do that again because there are lots of banks in USA.

This bank is spread in every region in USA. Every region has more than one bank with different institution. One banks to another has different service. Such as banks in Chicago have different services with bank in Los Angles or bank in Nevada. It depends on the bank and the region where the banks are placed.

How To Start An Import/Export Business (Part 1 of 2)

moffey — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 03:30:17 +0000

So you want to sell to the world? You’ve come to the right place. Thanks to the Internet, setting up an import/export business can be ridiculously simple and very profitable. Here are ways to make it happen.

• Select your business name and set up a website and blog.

Without a website or blog, you can’t have a networked import/export business. Get yourself a platform that allows you to develop a presence online and grow your business beyond your wildest imagination. The goal is to balance the flow of communications, sell products online (or offline) and build your customer base to drive profits for your international business.

But first, remember to register your business name with a reputable web host because your domain name is what customers use to find you and your business. And it can’t hurt to consult with an international lawyer, banker and accountant for advice on establishing a virtual import/export business and keeping it in the best legal and financial position possible.

A couple of places to get started with a website are Network Solutions, Go Daddy, Intuit and Verio. All offer domain name registrations and affordable website hosting packages with easy-to-use site building capabilities.

To create a professional blog, which allows a continuous flow of engaging communications, try Blogger, Typepad or WordPress. These services allow you to create a blog in minutes with stunning designs, reliable hosting and on-demand tech support.

Now you are ready to share your business expertise and capabilities and sell to the world.

• Pick a product to import or export.

When it comes to importing and exporting, you cannot be all things to all customers. Decide on something and stick with it.

You have two viable reasons for choosing a product to import or export: you know it will sell or you like it. Hopefully, you can meet both criteria. That’s an ideal business model. Would you buy it if you saw it in another part of the world? Then you are on to something!

• Find the right market.

You’ve selected a product, now you must look for someplace to sell it! You will improve your odds of picking a winner if you cultivate a knack for tracking trends, or even spotting potential trends. Getting in on the ground floor and importing or exporting a product before it becomes a super-seller in a country could be the business breakthrough of a lifetime!

Do the homework and research the market beforehand to locate the best potential foreign market for your product or service. Two places to check are The World Bank’s “Ease of Doing Business” and globalEDGE’s “Market Potential Index.”

You might also check with local government officials to best determine sources for conducting market research. For example, in the United States, there are the Department of Commerce International Trade Administration’s Data and Analysis and the U.S. Census Bureau Foreign Trade, which governs the reporting of all import/export statistics. These resources are helpful for determining where in the world products and services are moving to and from, and why and how to get in on the action.

• Source a supplier.

Once you have a likely import or export product in mind, learn everything there is to know about it. If you were its creator, how would you improve it? Go to a manufacturer and suggest product improvements to turn a mediocre product into something slightly ahead of its time. Your suggestions might mean the difference between a Sony Walkman and an Apple iPod.

The easiest access to reputable suppliers might be Alibaba, Global Sources, and Thomas Register. There are others, but these three are considered the holy grail to finding high quality suppliers, manufacturers, exporters, importers, buyers, wholesalers and trade leads. (Laurel Delaney)

Indirect Exporting: Advantages and Disadvantages to Indirect Exporting Methods of Indirect Exporting

moffey — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 03:17:27 +0000

Indirect exporting means selling to an intermediary, who in turn sells your products either directly to customers or to importing wholesalers. The easiest method of indirect exporting is to sell to an intermediary in your own country. When selling by this method, you normally are not responsible for collecting payment from the overseas customer, nor for coordinating the shipping logistics.

1. Export management companies

An export management company (EMC) is one such intermediary. A good one will act in all respects as a global extension of your own sales-and-service presence — more or less what you are attempting to do on behalf of a manufacturer! EMCs offer a wide range of services, but most specialize in exporting a specific range of products to a well-defined customer base in a particular country or region. For example, an EMC might specialize in exporting personal computer business software to educational institutional customers in Asian-Pacific countries.

An EMC is highly market-driven, representing your product along with other companies’ non-competing products as part of their own import “product line” aimed at the customer base they have created. Generally, the EMC buys the product from a manufacturer and marks up the price to cover their profit. This is called a buy-resell arrangement. Other common compensation structures used by EMCs include both commission and buy-and-resell, start-up or project fee only, fee plus commission, or fee plus commission and buy-and-resell. An EMC will carry out all aspects of the export transaction:

* Identifying international markets for your product or service.
* Locating customers overseas.
* Arranging agent/distributorship relationships.
* Preparing, negotiating and handling all communication, documentation and shipping logistics.
* Exhibiting at international trade shows.
* Traveling overseas to meet with potential customers.
* Setting up appropriate distribution channels.

Finding a good EMC is not that difficult. A good Internet search can help you access a list. For each listed company, take note of how long they have been in business, the number of employees, the products in which they specialize and the countries to which they export. Start your own select list of companies that export products similar to your own. Then consult the following for more referrals to add to your list:

* A local trade association with an international focus. Attend a few meetings and talk some shop — somebody’s bound to know of an EMC, or even run their own.
* The international division of your bank. They’re likely to have an inside line on which companies are reputable and doing well.
* As always, you can rely on your local chamber of commerce or small business assistance center. They generally know who has been in the export trading business for awhile. At the very least, they can point you to a good online exporting directory.
* Freight forwarders and logistics experts also might provide you with the names of EMCs that use their service, but because you probably haven’t made a sale at this point, you probably don’t have a working relationship with a transportation company. Ask someone you know who uses a freight forwarder or reputable international transportation company regularly.
* Your first and possibly last resort is – again – to search the Internet for listings under “Export Trading Companies” or “Export Management Companies.”

2. Export trading companies

You might also use the services of an export trading company (ETC). ETCs are virtually identical to EMCs, but they tend to function on a more demand-driven basis, by which the demand of the market compels them to buy specific commodities. They usually have long-standing customers for whom they source products on a regular basis. For example, they might get a request from a customer to find a supplier of canned sweet peas who can provide twenty container loads a month for a given number of months. The ETC will then seek out a reputable manufacturer who can handle the demand at an economical price, and then arrange for the transport of the goods to the customer. You can track down a good ETC via the same channels recommended above for finding an EMC.
