Expanding further into the EU

[CharverDeeksWorth]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an agent or wholesaler based in mainland Europe to help me sell my products in the European Union. Due to the new GPSR regulations, I’m incurring additional administrative costs of around £25,000 per year to continue selling in markets like Ireland, Greece, and other member states that I already supply. To offset these expenses and make this extra work worthwhile I’m interested to find a reliable partner who can help expand our reach in the EU market, potentially in Spain or Germany. It’s going to make all the work really worth it.

We’re already opening lots of new business in the uk each month.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone with experience in our industry and established connections with potential customers.

Do you have experience finding these wholesale distributors or agents, or any tips on what has worked well for you?

Thanks in advance.

All depends on your industry (which you don't mention) in mine then yes there are many pan European distributors (IT/CE sector) might help if you tell us what yours is.

I decided to go to a large distributor to give me a single point of contact, the equivalent of someone like this business in your industry, it means you have to sell/pitch your product to them and prove your business case but once you're onboard I find they give you scale and access to the whole market that you cannot replicate via an agent.
