International Business Development
An international footprint allows companies to extend their customer base, spread risk and reduce seasonal influences. However, successful expansion is a complex process with many factors to consider. Consumer preferences, cultural differences, increased operational requirements all lead to difficult business decisions.
The Arena GmbH international multidisciplinary teams of consultants have experience helping many companies to expand globally. We have the knowledge and resources to provide you with all the information required to take your business to the next level.
We understand that every business is different. Our consulting team will learn your unique needs to deliver advice and support to overcome complex expansion challenges. With consideration for the company stakeholders, we use our expertise in foreign market analysis to identify opportunities and integrate them into comprehensive strategy/development plans.
Your business development plan will consider both internal (capital structure, corporate culture, organisation, management) and external (development of products and services, customer service, internationalisation, partnerships, marketing) growth factors.

International Business Finance
Exploring new territories will inevitably lead to newly formed (business) partnerships.
While this represents a positive addition to your network, you will need time to position your company and establish trust. Depending on the business environment, suppliers might be unable, or unwilling to extend credit terms which can slow down or even end negotiations.
We offer financial solutions to assist both buyers and suppliers with working capital and ensure that all operations continue to run smoothly.
The benefits of our trade finance (pre-shipment, future receivables and project-related financing) include improvement in cash flow and increased revenue opportunities, with a reduction in the risk of payment delays. We provide access to secure financial solutions that are tailored to individual requirements and also offer advice on risk reduction, the negotiation of shipment, payment terms and contracting issues.
Supply chains that stretch across the globe provide tremendous opportunities for companies when financial issues are managed effectively. Newly formed and growing businesses are often under pressure to access working capital, which may get stuck in their supply chains.
Our supply chain finance (including supplier credit) can:
- optimise cash flow to reduce financing costs and improve business efficiency
- improve payment terms to create faster access to owed money for suppliers and extend the payment period for the buyer
- be a source of funds in difficult emerging markets
