Implementing Concept from Different Country

[felixwinkler]

Let's say you live in Germany and heard of a company in the US that doesn't exist here yet but has or could have a massive demand here as well. Would you actually go about starting to implement it here?

If you were interested enough and thought it could take-off then why not?

Happens all the time. Distributors license products they see in other countries or start their own version.

eg All European countries will have manufacturers of 'Smoothies' yet they are not European drinks.

The guys who started Innocent Smoothies (UK Company) and made hundreds of millions got the idea when one of them was on holiday in California and thought 'This is a good idea.'

They sold so many hundreds of thousands a week Coca Cola bought them.

However if you go to some States, you see people wearing Cowboy boots and you might think these are great and decide to distribute them .

Well that wont exactly work well will it?

So the answer is yes with caveats.

Sounds like a golden opportunity to me

Definitely, I'm in a similar position.

Just be aware, if you make enough ripples in the water, they may see an opportunity and jump in your ocean (just depends how big they are).

So plan ahead with that in mind.
