Do I have the available resources and staff to focus on both expansion and my established business? Trying to juggle an overseas operation while maintaining your current domestic customer base with a small staff is incredibly difficult, and you likely won't be able to sustain your growth. Before you decide to expand, make sure you have the financial and structural stability to add staff members who can handle the new influx of work that comes with such growth.
"An organization should have a strong team solely focused on international growth that is ready to face challenges and fully support the expansion," said Taki Skouras, co-founder and CEO of international wireless accessories retailer Cellairis.
