Cynthia started the Business Beyond Borders podcast to unlock the secrets of making your small business an international success.
Dearin & Associates is an international business consulting company that helps clients to access opportunities in fast-growing international markets.
We are passionate about helping our clients expand internationally, because we recognise that there’s never been a better time to “go global”. International trade is at an all-time high and goods, services and information can move around the globe more rapidly than ever before.
We know that companies that do business internationally have a bigger global impact, innovate more, make more money and are better places to work. We also believe that the world is a better place when people everywhere have access to the best products and services available.
Our special focus is to speed up and de-risk the international expansion process for micro-to-medium sized companies and to help them get their products and services to the world.

Episode 59 - Breaking International Barriers with Kathryn Read
In this episode of Business Beyond Borders, my guest is Kathryn Read, an international sales and marketing consultant with more than 20 years’ experience developing niche products in emerging markets.
Kathryn helps small and medium companies to break through international barriers and she joins me today from Austria.
Join us to find out:
• How Austria handled the pandemic
• The current relationship between Europe and the UK post Brexit
• The importance of research when working internationally
• How not to choose an international market
• How to build an international network when you can’t travel
The importance of research is highlighted here, and Kathryn explains what can go wrong when you make snap judgements when it comes to choosing a new international market.
When you make ad-hoc decisions in the world of international business it becomes very easy to lose focus which then leads to frustration, wasted resources and disappointment. All this can be avoided by doing the research and building a network of people that align with your vision.
I had a great time recording this, and if you are interested in taking your company global, I have no doubt that you will get a huge amount of value from tuning in.
Please enjoy!
