Every market in scope is covered by people who live and work there, not analysts at a desk. One scope of work, one invoice, wherever the brief goes.
Briefing & Scoping
We listen. Every engagement starts with a thorough understanding of your objectives, target markets, commercial criteria and timescales.
In-Market Research & Intelligence
Our local partners gather primary intelligence (market data, competitor mapping, customer interviews, and regulatory insight) directly from your target markets.
Analysis & Recommendations
Our UK team synthesises the intelligence into clear, actionable findings. No jargon. No padding. Just the evidence you need to make informed decisions.
Ongoing Support
We stay with you. From initial findings through to market entry execution or acquisition approach, we provide continued support as your plans develop.

General
Process
Support
What does Copernicus do?
We help companies research, enter and grow in overseas markets, market research, acquisition identification, distributor and partner identification, company establishment and international business development, across 72 markets on five continents.
Will you work for our competitors?
No. We never act for a client’s direct competitors. Once we take on your brief, that market or sector is closed to competing instructions for the duration of our work together.
Where do you cover?
72 markets across five continents and still growing, delivered through dedicated in-country consultants who understand the language, culture and commercial practice on the ground.
How do we start a project?
With a free, 30-minute confidential call, no engagement letter required. If there’s a fit, we follow up with a fixed-fee or milestone-based proposal setting out scope, team and deliverables in writing.
Who will we work with?
UK principal leads every engagement and stays your single point of contact, supported by the right Copernicus consultant for your sector and target market.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope, a single-market brief can run to a few weeks, a multi-market programme longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline as part of the proposal, not before.
What happens once the project is delivered?
We remain available for follow-up questions and, where agreed, ongoing support from monitoring distributor performance to advising as a market develops. Support beyond the brief is scoped and agreed separately.
Who do we contact if something changes mid-project?
Your UK principal, the same person you started with. Any change in scope, timeline or priorities is picked up directly, not filtered through account layers.
Can we ask questions before committing?
Yes. The initial call is exactly for that, no obligation, no engagement letter, just a chance to check we’re the right fit before anything is agreed.
