You should begin considering whether you want to do business
in the chosen country. If you decide to proceed, you should then put your
presentation together with all of your information you researched, and present
it in a positive light to the shareholders.
If not, you should still put a presentation together with
all of the information researched above, and discuss why at the end you did not
think it was a good idea. If you do not think it will work out there, suggest
what other countries might be better for the business.
Your presentation should include a plan for the company’s
international expansion
