These guides are available in three formats: a full-colour, glossy print brochure; a fully interactive and updateable multimedia website; and free downloadable smartphone and tablet apps. Each guide offers detailed content, including market overviews, business opportunities, and expert guidance on entering specific markets. They also feature listings and website links for British and foreign government support services, along with profiles of essential private sector service providers.

 

To maximise accessibility, the guides are distributed free of charge through the Doing Business Group, the Department for Business & Trade’s (DBT) and local and international chambers of commerce, global networks, which include over 200 distribution outlets. They are also showcased at global exhibitions, roadshows, conferences, and trade missions.
