The company

Sourcing products and services internationally or finding reliable local experts efficiently easily is often a frustrating and time consuming process. There is no reliable register of rated partners in the developed world, let alone emerging markets.

Search engines offer no quality evaluation and our business model, research backed by the UK's Department of Trade and Industry (now Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform or BERR), found that there was a clear lack of safe access to reliable business contacts through conventional routes. There is no way of sourcing good partners from ineffectual ones and social networks do not present a solution due to the focus being on the individual, his/her career and achievements and as a result, the brand can be secondary and in some cases compromised (see company networking dilemma). It is companies that 'do business', supported by executives and Business Across Borders offers a platform and network for companies to source and generate business opportunities worldwide.

Lists of local partners are available and duplicated by the various consulates, chambers of commerce and support agencies all preoccupied with nationality and passport. Business Across Borders' view is world business today has little to do with nationality or passport.

The company's head office is in Ireland, software development and technical support in USA and UK.
