The Advantage
With Initbridge there is a true partnership. We are in it together with you. We work hard to directly align with the goals and objectives of your company and make sure we help facilitate that outcome.
We are a streamlined, outside-the-box solution based company that utilizes our own market, contacts, know-how and business experience to better assist a company in whatever capacity they need. We bridge the gaps your company might have to reach these new marketplaces.
With our minority ownership in your company, the main control remains in your hands. Your success is our success and visa-versa. We take on the responsibility for your company’s entry in a new market with little initial capital and risk to you.
Initbridge is your partner for the whole process in whatever capacity you may need. With our payment in equity form we have aligned our goals with yours – we don’t make money unless you make money. Bottom line.
Initbridge
vs
Traditional Consultants
1. Low Initial Cost
We do not charge hourly rates for our services.
2. We Stay
We not only setup, but also run the new market entity.
3. Integration
Being a co-owner means that we sit on the same side of the table with goals aligned.
4. Complete Knowledge Transfer
We provide full transparency and use a team approach to address challenges, thus sharing detailed knowledge while working together.
5. Co-own
We only get paid if the company is successful.
Traditional Consultants
1. Higher Initial Cost
Consultants normally charge per hour, not per achieved result.
2. They Leave
By definition, consultants are temporary contributors.
3. Detached Relation
Consultants will work through you to solve any problem at a conceptual level, but they rarely do the actual legwork.
4. Costly Knowledge Transfer
Transfering knowledge cost more, as consultants often charge per hour. The financial motivation also creates an incentive to sell more services.
5. No Ownership
Consultants get paid regardless, leading to misaligned interests.

vs
Agents
1. Focus on Your Product
With management responsibility we are dedicated to the success of your product.
2. Local Management
Direct and frequent contact with sales force enables immediate communication of market needs.
3. Goals Aligned
We participate in the bottom line, we're not on commission.
Agents
1. One Product of Many
Agents often have a range of products competing for their attention.
2. Remote Management
Poor communication with sales force, resulting in filtered, and limited, feedback from market.
3. Divergent Interests
Agents are only interested in current sales, regardless of your company's bottom line.
