Save money on international business transactions

For any business looking to expand its international audience or maintain its existing global client list, the expenses incurred in international business transactions can be quite substantial.

International business can amount to a great deal of travel, whether it’s by plane, train, or car. With the added scrutiny that high-ranking officials within the public sector largely feel when it comes to spending, now is perhaps a timely opportunity to reduce those costs.

Corporate travel agents who specialize in business travel needs may be an ideal choice. These companies can offer discounted rates to their business customers, as well as offer tips and advice regarding meeting and conference rooms, saving you and your business time and money.

For many, the prospect of flying around the world to build and develop customer relationships is not a feasible financial or logistical option. In such cases, making contact by phone is a cheaper alternative, however, it can still require a large chunk of company funds. To reduce your international phone bill, it is advisable to shop around for a good deal at cheap international calls.

Many services are offered for business customers, with prices starting as low as 1 penny per minute for calls to multiple countries. In most cases, you can keep your existing number and provider. By simply calling the access numbers (individual numbers for each country and provided by the service provider), you can activate the discounted call rates.
