Transforming a Singaporean Biotechnology Company: Explosive Growth through Countertrade Solutions

Here's What We Do Better

CLIENT BACKGROUND
Our client is a biotechnology company based in Singapore, specializing in the development and production of cutting-edge medical treatments and pharmaceuticals. Despite their innovative product offerings, the company was facing challenges with low sales revenue, cash flow, and profit.
CLIENT CHALLENGE
The company was struggling to penetrate international markets due to trade barriers, high production costs, and limited distribution channels. They needed to find innovative ways to overcome these obstacles and achieve rapid growth.
SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION 
As a countertrade expert and consultant, we implemented multiple countertrade mechanisms tailored to the client’s specific needs. These mechanisms included:
  1. Counter-Purchase Agreements
  2. Direct and Indirect Offsets
  3. Joint Ventures
  4. Industrial Compensation (Buyback and Off-take)
  5. Import Entitlement Programs
Implementation
We assisted the client in establishing counterpurchase agreements with buyers in target markets, allowing them to purchase goods from these buyers in exchange for sales of their biotechnology products. We also facilitated direct and indirect offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, leading to cost reductions and investment in the client’s local economy.
We helped the client form joint ventures with strategic partners in target markets, allowing them to tap into local expertise and resources, and share risks and profits. We negotiated industrial compensation agreements with key buyers, including buyback and off-take arrangements, to secure long-term sales and establish new revenue streams.
Finally, we guided the client in leveraging import entitlement programs, enabling them to acquire foreign currency at a lower exchange rate for purchasing goods and services from foreign suppliers.
