Atradius Publishes Advice on Business Success in the Czech Republic

Amsterdam (ots/PRNewswire) -

After falling into recession in 2012/13 the Czech Republic has
seen a revival in both business and consumer confidence this year: an
encouraging sign for foreign companies planning to export to this
resurgent market.

To assist those companies, leading credit insurer Atradius has
published a concise report - 'Trade successful with the Czech
Republic'. [http://global.atradius.com/creditmanagementknowledge/pub
lications/trade-successfully-with-the-czech-republic.html ]

The report covers a wide range of issues that foreign exporters to
the Czech Republic should take into account and prepare for, to help
make their ventures a success. These include:

- weighing up the potential benefits of the various forms of local presence,
such as agency, partnership and limited liability company, and ensuring that they
obtain an authorised trade license
- adapting their pricing strategy to take account of the average disposable
income in the Czech Republic
- choosing the most cost effective way to resolve trade disputes, through
mediation or arbitration
- protecting their credit sales against the risks of non-payment

To accompany its report, on 9 July Atradius is also broadcasting a
live webinar discussion - 'The key to business success in the Czech
Republic' [http://global.atradius.com/czech-republic-webinar.html ]
- in which a panel of experts will discuss the opportunities for
trade with the Czech Republic, the pitfalls to avoid and the
assistance available. Both the report and the free webinar can be
accessed through the Atradius website [http://global.atradius.com ],
where a recorded version of the webinar will also be available for a
further 12 months.

While the Czech Republic has successfully emerged from its
economic dip of recent years, there's still a need for good financial
management when trading on credit terms, as Marketa Strzinkova,
Atradius' country manager for the Czech Republic, explains:

"As with any market, there will be risks, so an effective credit
management regime will help you strike the balance between maximising
sales and minimising the risk of late payment or bad debt. It should
start with an accurate assessment of a potential customers' payment
behaviour: get that wrong and you may incur serious cash flow
problems. Atradius can provide that insight, as well as the
reassurance that your credit sales are protected."
