going global with a business?

Question

What would be the biggest factors in taking a business global besides monetary costs and the ethics?

Answer 1

Logistics, language and social ethinic barriers (US vs French vs China all do business differently and you have to know these social traits), can your supply base handle and keep up with an increase in demand, legalities in all countries you are going to sell to ( are you going to retain law firms in all countries for product/business lawsuits?), selling out of a brick and mortar store or just online - can you handle credit cards securely from all nations?.
