Direct Investment

Direct Investment applies when the company chooses to open a branch by setting up its own premises or by acquiring a local company.

Direct investment has the following advantages for companies:

• Expand sales;

• Acquire resources;

• Minimize risks;

Direct investment abroad may take the following forms:

• Relocation of production: with the objective of obtaining labour and raw materials at lower prices;

• Commercial investment: aiming at greater control over the processes and reduction of the intermediaries in their relation with the external market;

• Business expansion: as a way to help penetrate certain markets. These branches do not only have commercial functions, but also product development, production engineering, production process, etc.
