Today, the international business community is faced with formidable obstacles in conducting international trade. New challenges arise unexpectedly, requiring decisive action with a deep knowledge of markets and the law and practice of international trade.

BainConsult was created to do the following:

(i) To pursue commodity trading opportunities by matching buyers and sellers in these trading blocs, and

(ii) To provide assistance to growth businesses in three three regions in making a seamless transition between these important trading blocs.

"During the time that SPS has used your services to establish business contacts and relationships with various Telecom, Computer and ATM manufacturers in France, we have always been very pleased with the quality of relationships that have been developed", wrote Tetso Suguira, Director of Design and Manufacture, and Gary Hopkins, Senior Executive Sales, Sanken Power Systems (UK). They continued, "Furthermore, the content of the work carried out has been thorough and demonstrated a clear understanding of the industry involved. This has been supported by an entrepreneurial approach, combined with a good understanding of the often conflicting aspects of the client's position."

John Mills and Tom Cox, directors of Longdin & Browing, wrote: "Your help and co-operation in promoting the Clear Cone system in France has lead to an agreement being reached with a major consultant-engineering group to promote and use the system on construction and maintenance of major highways." Sam Mangali, CEO of Brubeck Trading (Pty)of South Africa says: "Your understanding and astute analysis of trading relationships combined with a clear understanding of the law and a capacity to document such relationships facilitates early completion of trading transactions."
