Business Center of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic
Helping your business grow internationally
SK businesses export billions of euros worth of goods and services every month. Tapping into this lucrative source of revenue can bring a range of benefits. Exporting can help extend market, increase turnover, improve business' reputation and avoid an over dependence on SK trade. However, exporting is not without its risks.
Language and cultural differences, political instability and currency and payment problems can pose a significant risk to first time or inexperienced exporters.
