Establishing presence overseas may offer greater potential rewards than exporting goods from Malta. A presence also allows for a better understanding of the prevailing culture and market conditions.  Advantages may include the reduction of production and selling costs, example by sourcing local materials and eliminating middle men.

The resources needed to physically enter a new market are significant and as with any new venture the risks associated with such a decision need to be considered.

A presence abroad may take the form of an agency, branch, subsidiary or joint venture.  This will depend on the level of presence (and control) required as well as an entities appetite for risk.
