  Being a small business is no impediment to export success but preparation is key.
  Because developing exports is an important strategic objective of Enterprise Ireland, it has partnered with the Local Enterprise Office network to launch a new webinar series called Export Compass.
  This online series is free and is open to all companies. As well as expert advice it features small business owners willing to share the benefit of their experience in terms of tips for success and pitfalls to avoid.
  There are five webinars in the series, three more webinars will take place on February 25, and on March 11 and 25.
  Each covers practical advice on specific issues, including assessing your reasons for exporting - or not, choosing the right market and identifying customers within it.
  The Export Compass webinar series outlines tools and techniques to help win export customers in a digital world.
  It also provides information about the funding and finance options available as you prepare and execute your export plan.
