Exporting services raises some different issues to exporting goods, which will be explored in this two-part webinar series.
We’ll begin by outlining the key challenges of dealing with an intangible product, such as agreeing the scope of activities with your clients, navigating cultural differences and maintaining relationships across the distance. We’ll consider some practical issues, such as defining where the service has taken place and which regulatory frameworks apply.
