Test your product and market
We agree the target market and messaging. Small campaigns test responses from end customers, retailers and importers.
Market entry for UK and European manufacturers
We find your distributors.
In Mexico and the USA.
We test demand for your product, speak to suitable distributors and negotiate locally. After two weeks of testing in Mexico or the USA, you decide what comes next.
Your first call is with Bruno Filkin, based in Germany.

Test demand.
Then build distribution.
For UK and European manufacturers ready to expand beyond their home market. Two small tests show how buyers and potential distributors respond to your product before you commit to a market entry mandate.
Speak to potential partners
We qualify enquiries and hold first conversations with suitable candidates. In their language and time zone.
Decide what comes next
You receive figures, names, conversation notes and our assessment. If you continue, we handle negotiations, import coordination and logistics within the agreed scope.
After two weeks, you have the findings.
The test phase is free of charge. We set the scope and terms of the mandate once the findings are in.

Before you
get started.
What does the test phase cost?
The test phase is free of charge. We set the scope and terms of the mandate once the findings are in. Warehousing and fulfilment are agreed separately from the distribution mandate.
What if no potential partner responds?
That becomes part of the findings. You receive our assessment and decide whether to take another step. The collaboration can end with the findings.
How long does market entry take?
The test phase takes two weeks. A subsequent market entry realistically takes six to nine months, sometimes longer. We set the scope and terms of the mandate once the findings are in.
Will my product need adapting?
We adapt packaging and language for the target market. We also test the physical product locally so necessary changes become clear before the first order.
Who is my contracting partner?
