Our role as your agents
We sell your products and services abroad and act as your international sales & marketing department. We help you to assess the export potential through market research, competitive analysis, pricing, seasonality and other factors critical to success.

How we help you to succeed in overseas markets?

Entering a new market at an early stage has its advantages. You set  baseline standards, capture a good share of the market and build impenetrable relationships. While the developed countries are getting increasingly demanding, there remain some virgin territories waiting to be tapped, such as the Balkans and the Next15. Passthrough has a solid understanding of the Balkans and many of the Next15 countries.

Why Export to emerging markets?

 

Rising Africa - 163,000 millionaires

A recent report by New World Wealth and the AfrAsia Bank found that there are approximately 163,000 millionaires living in Africa (as of June 2015), with combined wealth holdings of US$670 billion. The carefully researched paper shows that Johannesburg is the top African city for millionaires. There are also major millionaire populations living in Cairo, Lagos and Cape Town.

 

The untapped Balkans - 55 million consumers

Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia and the rest of the Balkans have a growing zest for progress and modernisation. And there's still a long way to go. All this translates into Gaps that foreign goods and services can fill. If you are thinking of establishing a business in the Balkans, you can take advantage of the low cost of living, business set up, taxation and skilled workforce. While the rich have an insatiable demand for brand and luxury goods, the less well off segment of the population is gaining awareness of affordable quality, which is currently in short supply.
