Trade is at the heart of the world economy. Optimising the benefits of trade, by
maximising the profits derived from exports and imports, by increasing the efficiency
of the flow of goods and funds, and the availability of finance, must be a primary
objective of any manufacturing or trading enterprise. Similarly, a key part of this
planning must focus on the fiscal impact of the organisation's trading activities
and underlying profitability.
The establishment of a trading company abroad can have a beneficial impact in the
following areas of an organisation's activities:
a) pricing strategy
b) inventory scheduling
c) treasury and tax planning
d) sourcing finance
