General

Question: What’s the difference between a “Company”, a “Service providers”, and a “Partners?

Answer: 

  • Company or Companies refers to market-entry companies. Those are international companies that are looking to establish operations and/or customers in new markets.
  • Service provider or service providers refers to service-providers that have specific skills and experience in helping international companies soft-land and succeed in new markets. Service providers provide services such as accounting, finance, government relations, insurance, legal, management, marketing, real estate, people, and various other types of support.
  • Partner or Partners refers to international trade & (or) investment organizations that support international market entry companies with various services including information, data, consultation, introductions, advocacy, and trade missions and delegations.

Service providers

Question: Are memberships by individual, company, location, or division?

Answer: Memberships are by location and division (or business unit). Membership includes an online profile in the Soft Land Partners Marketplace. The profile and associated search taxonomy allows the most effective connections to occur. An unlimited number of individuals can participate from any service providers location or division.

Question: Are memberships industry-exclusive?

Answer: Memberships are not exclusive. Our ethos and “true north” are centered on the unmitigated success of the market-entry company. We believe giving them a full view of the market best supports this outcome. As avid sailors, we’ve learned that the most valuable charts have both blue water and hazards.
