Export Boom for small businesses – Helsingborgs Dagblad

– It is so gratifying to see that small businesses dare to take the leap and invest in these new markets, says Carl-Johan Karlsson also believes that many of the smaller companies run by a “new” kind of entrepreneurs.

– Younger entrepreneurs are “born global”, they do not have the same respect for the slightly more unusual markets. Earlier might be dared to export to France or Germany. Now you will find their customers in maybe Thailand or North Africa or Brazil; you dare to take the step right out, says Carl-Johan Karlsson.

The greatest was increase among the smallest, so-called micro-enterprises with fewer than ten employees. In this category, the number of companies that export to emerging countries by 18 percent.

A total exported micro and small enterprises to emerging markets for SEK 21.8 billion in 2014. From a national perspective, it is only a fraction of the total Swedish exports. But Carl Johan Karlsson considers that small business ventures are important.

– It means a lot for Swedish exports of small businesses willing to invest in markets with high growth potential. They have good chances in the long term grow really big, says Carl-Johan Karlsson.
