Advising and Consulting Services
in Mexico
When entering new international markets, Fortune 500 companies nearly always associate themselves with top consultants. This is done in order to avoid unnecessary legal, cultural, fiscal and logistical roadblocks. Not surprisingly, doing business in Mexico requires the same type of consulting. That’s why Mexico Business Associates offers a wide range of consulting services on doing business in Mexico for foreign firms and individuals.
When attempting to embark upon a commerce endeavor in Latin America’s second largest economy, making an initial decision in top level consulting typically proves to be a wise investment. By doing so you can avoid fiscal hardships like legal fees, fines, lost revenues, re-location, the firing and/or re-hiring of employees, and lawsuits that can arise when doing business in Mexico without proper knowledge of the nation’s markets, business practices and overall business environment.
Doing business in Mexico is quite different than what many Westerners are accustomed to in their home countries. It doesn’t matter whether you want to sell to Mexico, source your product and import from Mexico, open a small franchise, invest in tourism, or anything else, if you think that things are done the same way as at home you will be in for a rude awakening.
In addition to business advising and consulting services, we offer in-person training seminars for companies and their employees who are about to embark upon business endeavors in Mexico. Whether you plan to be in Mexico for a week or several months, a 1-2 hour phone consultation or a 1-2 day seminar could be right for you.
These seminars are designed to address Mexican business practices with intercultural advice and consulting, and they could save you and your employees considerable amounts of money and headaches in the future. We plan our seminars to cover each client’s specific needs, company goals and business endeavors in Mexico. Furthermore, we take into consideration the specific industry, market, and region(s) in Mexico where they plan to do business.
Consulting Services for Mexico’s Unique Business Practices
If you are a foreign business person seriously interested in Mexican business ventures, you may want to start by reading our book. Additionally, if you are going to conduct business in Mexico you will need solid consulting services from those who understand Mexico’s overall business culture as well as the nation’s abundance of laws and customs in regards to a myriad of topics, including:
- Importing and Exporting
- Human Capital
- Taxes and Accounting
- Labor and Employment
- Logistics
- Customs
- Mexican Management Styles
- Time and Communication Concepts
- Purchasing and Sales
- Distribution
- Supply Chains
- Expenses and Overhead
It’s important to know that none of the aforementioned business practices or concepts function in Mexico the way they do in a nation like the United States.
Consulting on Cultural Differences for American Companies with Latino Employees
In addition to consulting with companies doing business in Mexico, we have also successfully consulted with American companies who have had challenges in managing their Mexican employees because of cultural differences. In most cases, we are quickly able to identify that the root causes of American management differences with Latino employees are mostly cultural in nature. Latino mindsets in regards to almost all aspects of life are different than those in the mostly Anglo-Saxon-minded West.
We are able to work with business owners and managers — and Latino employees when necessary — to identify cultural differences on issues such as work, family, time, money, communication and hierarchy. We are highly successful in creating mutual understanding of cultural differences in work and business. Once this understanding is recognized and embraced, working relations between management and Hispanic labor nearly always improve.
