Advising Your Trade Expansion

We assist businesses at every stage of their trade journey, whether you’re expanding within Canada or entering international markets. Our advisors provide practical, action-oriented advice to help you overcome trade barriers and seize opportunities both domestically and abroad.

Valuable Insights and Advice

Our goal is to provide immediate value, whether you’re expanding across Canada or venturing into global markets.

Combining Global Reach with National Expertise

Our advisors leverage the World Trade Centre’s extensive network to offer insights and opportunities that are relevant to Manitoba businesses aiming to grow both within Canada and internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you’re exporting within Canada or internationally, our advisors provide key insights to help you make informed trade decisions. This includes information on starting a business in other countries, trade show opportunities, international trade regulations, funding options, market analysis, and lists of potential clients, competitors, and suppliers. They can also assist with succession planning, franchising options, and finding suppliers for your trade business.

Prior experience in trade is not required. However, you’ll benefit most from a trade consultation if you have an established business and are actively seeking opportunities outside of Manitoba.

Our trade consultations are designed for businesses and entrepreneurs based in Manitoba. If you are from outside the province and interested in trade with Manitoba, please contact us.

Information you share during a consultation, including details about your business or idea, is kept strictly confidential. However, we may use non-identifiable, aggregate data for reporting purposes to funders, which includes participant demographics but does not reveal any personal or business-specific information.
