Business Presence

 

Through the Business Assessment process, you have determined that you need a presence in this market.  Keeling Consulting can help.  We will be your "boots on the street".  We will provide the appearance of market commitment for your organization whilst strategic decisions are made, so no time is lost.  We have the legal and accounting resources and relationships to guide you through the business set-up process and visa applications.  We can establish offices, secure phone numbers, get business materials printed and distributed.  We can even attend meetings on your behalf.  We will be your Australian presence for a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself here.

Business Development

Through our established network in Australia Keeling Consulting can introduce your company and its services to the market place.  We have contacts in a variety of markets and geographic areas, as well as various levels of government.  New markets in new countries are challenging - especially if coming in cold.  In conjunction with your team we will identify the market targets and begin to create relationships with those targets on your behalf.  Once appropriate, we will pass the contacts on to you to pursue the opportunity.

Opportunity & Business Assessment

Keeling Consulting Pty Ltd is a Brisbane based consultancy focused specifically on the resources industry and those companies supplying it.  Operated by a former Calgarian, now living and working in Brisbane, Keeling Consulting provides your organization with the opportunity to get a foothold in the Australian market without the time, financial resources and network necessary to do it yourself. 

As anyone who has explored a foreign market can attest, the costs and challenges are high.  Making a commitment to a market can be a tough strategic decision.  Most operators would like to have a contract in place before committing extensive resources to a market - especially if those resources could be deployed elsewhere.  However, organisations are not comfortable giving business to companies that have not made that market commitment.  Chicken and egg.  Cart and horse.  Call it what you will, it is a dilemma. 

The bottom line is that progress gets stalled and opportunities missed whilst these pieces get worked out. Or - even worse - don't get worked out.  Flying in and out of the Australian market from North America is extremely costly and time consuming.  And you never get to start where you left off - there are weeks of re-establishing each time your are pulled out of the market.  Not to mention time zone issues and calendars that don't sync up.

It is tough to assess a market from far way, let alone outside of the country.  Keeling Consulting can be your "boots on the street".  We can help determine the market size and apprise you of the market conditions and market trends.   Keeling Consulting can also create a needs analysis for products and services in specific sectors, as well as  providing competitive analysis - who is in the market - who are they working with - what is the word on the street.  And in the end, if you decide that this is the market to be in, we can write the business plan required by the government in order for your company to be considered for an Australian Business Number (ABN).
