Partner search

CGCB International helps you connecting with potential business partner(s).

Where can I find the most suitable international business and / or cooperation partners? CGCB International specializes in selecting the right agent or distributor for your product and / or service.

First of all, based on your export strategy, we draw up a partner profile, in which we describe your company and the type of partner you are looking for. Next, based on your criteria, we draw up a long list, extensive list, of possible distributors or agents. We discuss this long-list with you, to see which companies are most suitable for you.

Our team will contact the final decision-makers of these companies for further information and if there is interest in a cooperation. In addition, we carry out a simplified company check to see if we are dealing with an existing company and the right decision-maker. This results in a short-list of usually three to five companies.

As soon as we have a short-list of companies, we will set up a teleconference call for the first introductory meetings. With a good feeling we can visit the companies on your behalf or you can come to the country to conduct follow-up meetings. Together with our team we will prepare for these agreements, so that you can present yourself in the best possible way.
