Get a tailored export progress report

New to exporting and don't know where to start? Or already exporting but want to explore a new market, export a new product or service, or take a more strategic and proactive approach? No matter what stage you're at, use our assessment tool to assess your progress and get tailored information and guidance.

Helping you succeed with your exporting plans

Our export assessment tool helps you approach exporting in a strategic and planned way.

It will assess where you are in the exporting journey – from the early stages of understanding exporting, to doing your research, building a strategy, and delivering your product or service to overseas markets.

Your progress report will guide you through the next steps for your stage, highlight any key tasks you've missed from previous stages, and point you towards support that can help you progress.

The export assessment tool is aimed at Scottish businesses or businesses that have a significant presence in Scotland. Most of the support we highlight in the report will only be available to businesses in Scotland.

How it works

  • Tell us about your company

    The assessment takes around 5 to 10 minutes. We’ll ask you about your experience of exporting and the steps you’ve already taken.

  • Get your tailored report

    Your PDF report will only show you information and guidance that's relevant to you, based on how you responded to the assessment. 

  • Put your next steps into action

    Download your report, share it with colleagues, and start putting your next steps into action.

Who is it for?

The export tool is suitable for you if you're a Scottish business (or a business that has a significant presence in Scotland) that is either: 

  • New to exporting  
  • Already exporting but planning to target new markets or export a new product or service
  • Already exporting but looking to make improvements and take a more strategic approach 

Companies outside Scotland may find that most of the support highlighted in the report is only available to Scottish businesses.

What will the report cover?

Your PDF report will be tailored to your business based on the answers you give during the assessment. It will cover:

What stage of the exporting journey you’re at, plus your progress against each stage

A summary of the tasks you've already completed, to help you see your progress

What your next steps are, with information about the tasks you've still to complete

Support that could help you – including training programmes, webinars, online information, relevant funding, research reports, and more

You can take the assessment again at any time to re-assess where your business is and get the latest, up-to-date information and support.

Your report will include support provided by ourselves, by our partner agencies (Highlands and Islands Enterpriseopens in a new window and South of Scotland Enterpriseopens in a new window), and by the wider public sector. We may also highlight where private sector support and services may be useful to you.
