When considering operating internationally, businesses have numerous options to expand their reach and grow. Key choices include licensing, which allows foreign use of trademark for royalties; exporting, which involves selling goods or services directly overseas; franchising, granting rights to use trademarks and systems in specific territories; and contract manufacturing, where a foreign company produces goods for a domestic brand. Other opportunities include forming international joint ventures for major projects, strategic alliances for mutual benefits, and foreign direct investment to establish a presence in foreign markets.
