2 Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT): Leveraging Partnerships

We built a simple methodology, tested for 15 years and proved to be a success. Of course not all the businesses can embrace the same timeline but, strategically speaking, those are the safest steps. The BOT model is a partnership-driven approach. It involves collaborating with local entities that already have a market presence. 

Instead of a top-down approach, you can bottom up your expanding philosophy by limiting costs and risks. Use our management, facilities, legal, financial, HR, technical chapters, best practices and capacity. We build a core inside our organization for you. A BOT usually takes around three years to mature.

Our company has developed a network of potential partners to facilitate this process. In the build phase, we work with these partners to establish the necessary infrastructure and operations. During the operating phase, we manage the day-to-day operations, ensuring that the business adheres to the local market's standards and practices. 

Finally, in the transfer phase, we hand over the operations to the local partner, who will then continue to run the business, often with ongoing support and collaboration.

Utilizing a BOT for operations presents significant advantages, including a reduction in costs by 50% and a decrease in time spent by 40%. The initiation period for a BOT is considerably shorter, taking only 4.5 months to become operational, as opposed to the typical 13 months. Additionally, a BOT eliminates the need for personnel in overhead positions, where normally at least seven individuals would be required. The maximum cash exposure is halved, and full production capacity is achieved two quarters sooner than usual. These benefits highlight the efficiency and financial savings associated with implementing BOT technology in business processes.

3  Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A): The Fast Track to Market Entry

M&A is the most direct and often the fastest way to enter a new market. This strategy involves either merging with a local company or acquiring one. It can provide immediate access to established customer bases, local market knowledge, and operational capabilities. It is a complex process that requires careful due diligence, negotiation, and integration planning. 

Our company assists businesses throughout the entire M&A process, from identifying potential targets to finalizing deals and integrating the new entity into the parent company's operations.

Conclusion

Each market entry strategy has its unique benefits and potential drawbacks. Organic growth allows for a controlled, measured expansion but can be slow. The BOT model offers a balance between control and local expertise, with the added benefit of established partnerships. M&A provides rapid market penetration but comes with higher risks and costs. Our company is equipped to support businesses in choosing and implementing the right strategy, ensuring a smooth and successful market entry.
