International Expansion Consulting

You enter new markets.
With methodology, not instinct.

We help B2B companies with a validated product grow in Europe, Latin America and China. With a clear strategy, commercial structure and direct execution — not with presentations or reports that get filed away.

The problem

Expanding without structure is expensive

Most B2B companies that attempt to internationalise make the same mistakes. Not due to lack of product — but due to lack of method.

01

They enter the wrong market

Without validating real demand, applying the local market ICP directly to geographies with different dynamics.

02

No channel or commercial structure

They hire a local salesperson with no process or tools, or rely on a distributor with no real incentive to sell.

03

Pipeline that stalls

Meetings that don't convert, inconsistent follow-up, no CRM configured for the target market and no clear communication sequences.

04

No data to decide

Months of activity with no clear metrics. They cannot tell whether the problem is pricing, messaging, channel or simply the wrong market.

How we work

Strategy connected
to execution

We don't hand over a strategy and walk away. We work directly with your team on implementation: we define the market, generate the pipeline and support the first deals to close.

Our method — the International Revenue Engine — articulates five engines: Strategy, Demand Generation, Sales Engine, Delivery Operations and Expansion Hub. Each engine is an operational component, not a section of a presentation.

See the full method
01
Strategy & Market Intelligence

ICP per market, demand validation, competitive analysis and geography prioritisation.

02
Demand Generation

B2B outbound, LinkedIn, cold email and active prospecting systems in the target market.

03
Sales Engine

CRM, follow-up sequences, qualification and closing. A replicable process, not dependent on a single person.

Delivery Operations

Coordination with local partners, distributors or suppliers. Logistics and fulfilment.

05
Expansion Hub

Organisational structure, local team and digital systems to scale what already works.

What we do

Who this is for

We work with B2B companies
that already have something that works

We don't work with ideas. We work with companies that have a validated product or service in their local market and want to grow internationally with method.

We do work with

  • Manufacturing companies with their own product
  • B2B service companies with a locally proven model
  • Distributors looking to enter new markets
  • Companies that already export but without a predictable system
  • Companies wanting to structure their international process before hiring a team

We don't work with

  • Companies without a validated product or service in a local market
  • Very early-stage startups without a proven business model
  • Purely speculative projects or market research without intent to execute
  • Companies looking only for a presentation with no commitment to execution

You don't need to have everything defined to start. If you have a validated product and genuine appetite for new markets, we can diagnose the situation in 30 minutes.

Why us

What sets us apart
from a generic consultancy

We execute, we don't just advise

We work with your team on real implementation: we generate the pipeline, configure the CRM, structure the sales process and support the first deals to close. The deliverable is a result, not a document.

Direct market experience, not theory

The CB Ventures team has genuine operational experience in the markets it works in: we don't transfer academic frameworks, we transfer methodology proven on real projects.

Scaled for mid-size companies, not large corporations

Our projects are designed for companies with agile structures. No process overload, no bureaucracy, no enterprise consulting costs you cannot absorb.

Transparency from day one

Before we start you have full clarity on scope, methodology, cost and what to expect at each stage. No fine print, no surprises.

The process

How a project begins

01

Diagnostic call — 30 min

We understand your starting point: target market, product, team and ambitions. No prior questionnaires, no commitments. Just an honest conversation to see if there is a fit.

If there is compatibility, you receive a proposal with clear scope, specific methodology and defined cost. No generic terms or standard proposals that don't fit your situation.

03

Execution with weekly check-ins

We begin at the entry point most appropriate for your situation. Measurable activity every week, metrics review and strategy adjustment when the data calls for it.

Examples of real situations where we have applied the methodology.

Industrial manufacturer · Spain → Mexico

Entry to Mexico after two failed self-led attempts

A Spanish manufacturing company that had previously tried to enter the Mexican market without success. We worked on redefining the ICP for the local market, building the outbound pipeline and developing the distribution channel. The first qualified prospects appeared in weeks 6–8 of the project.

"We had tried to enter Mexico on our own two years earlier without success. With CB Ventures we had a clear methodology and measurable results from the first month."
B2B services · Latin America → Europe

Commercial structure for entry into the European market

A Latin American B2B services company that had spent budget on unstructured entry attempts. We implemented the correct ICP, messages adapted to the European market and the right outbound channel. The result was active pipeline within the first quarter.

"We tried to enter alone and spent budget with no results. CB Ventures gave us the structure we needed: right ICP, right messages, right channel."

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before starting

How long before results appear?

The first indicators — prospect responses, qualified meetings, active pipeline — typically appear between weeks 6 and 8. First contracts depend on the sector's sales cycle: between month 3 and 6 in sectors with shorter cycles.

Do we need our own sales team to work with you?

Not necessarily. We can work as an extension of your team or as support for an existing one. In some projects we act as the international business development team while the company builds its own structure.

Can you guarantee results?

We cannot guarantee specific contracts because there are variables outside our control. What we do guarantee is a structured process, measurable activity every week and full transparency. If after the first 8 weeks there are no positive signals, we review the strategy before continuing.

Do you work remotely?

Primarily remotely. Most strategy, demand generation and follow-up work is done remotely with collaborative tools. For projects requiring local presence, we coordinate with our network or travel when it is within the agreed scope.

Where do we start if we don't know exactly what we need?

With the diagnostic. It is the entry point designed for companies that want clarity before committing to a long process. In 2–3 weeks you have a complete picture of your situation and concrete recommendations on next steps.
