About our Trade Leads
 
What Are They?  Trade leads include foreign companies who are interested in making direct purchases from Florida companies, acting as a manufacturer's representative or agent/distributor, and joint ventures.  In support of EFI's Africa Trade Expansion Program, we also provide leads from African companies looking to sell their products or services to Florida and the U.S.
Where Do They Come From?  The majority of these leads are generated by our International Offices in 14 overseas markets. 
 How Can I Follow Up On These Leads?  If you wish to follow up on any of these leads, you can contact the foreign company directly with the information provided on the detailed report.  We ask that you also copy the International Office or Florida staff-person that submitted the lead.  Their information is also included in the report.  Please be sure to mention that you received this information from Enterprise Florida.
       
Florida distributors should be aware that they may be required to have the right to distribute products in a particular country before doing business there.  Please contact the person who submitted the lead if you have any questions.
 What Else Does Enterprise Florida Do For Florida Exporters?  To learn more about Enterprise Florida’s programs and services for Florida exporters, please visit our website at www.eflorida.com/export.  You can also view our calendar of international trade events online at www.eflorida.com/calendar.
