Should every small business owner have big ambitions? Certainly almost anyone who enters into the world of the entrepreneur or starts up their own, whether based at home, the high street or the web, has dreams of becoming a future success. After all, every large high street store, every national or international chain and every top name on the web started out as a small, fairly obscure business once. However, how can any small businesses manage to succeed in a world that seems dominated by big brands, big names and colossal empires?It can certainly frighten off many people who see the world of business like the ocean, with sharks round every coral reef, and danger lurking in the dark depths. Add to this the current economical climate with many seemingly secure names crumbling, and even entire nations finding themselves crippled, and many would be business owners may well consider that now is not the time to start up a new venture, or aim to develop an existing one. However, this is a terribly defeatist attitude, and brings to the table so many assumptions and myths that those who believe them to be true may well never make it in business, whatever the climate and conditions, and whatever the competition. Let’s look at the truth, and see why these assertions are untrue, and why not only is the ocean not full of sharks, but the current economical climate makes it perfect for the small business entrepreneur to jump in and try the water for themselves. To stretch out our metaphor just a little longer, so many people suggest that small businesses are almost doomed to failure because of the great sharks out there which dominate the waters of business. If this were true in the world of the sea, then there would be no fish and chips, no marine life, nothing except sharks. But if you swam the entire ocean you may very well never even come across one. The ocean is a big place, and the truth is that whilst sharks may be at the top of the chain, the ocean is still vast, the potential massive, and clearly there are ways to survive. The trick is, like the many fish that enjoy the waters, to stay alert, to keep your eyes open, to be able to adapt if necessary, and to manoeuvre more quickly and effectively. How does this translate to the world of business then? Quite simply, small business owners have an advantage which the larger retail industries don’t have. Size may be good in some instances, but it can also be a handicap, and can reduce flexibility, manoeuvrability and adaptability. Small businesses can change, adapt and take advantage of current trends, new developments and niche markets in ways which the bigger businesses can’t. An entrepreneur might see a possible niche market opening up as a result of search engine trends, a news story or forthcoming weather warnings, and instantly flood the market with content, links, pay per click adverts and search engine optimized content to take advantage of the possible market interest. Larger stores don’t always seem to have their online ear to the ground as it were in the same way, and can often find that reacting to changing markets may involve several boardroom meetings and management discussions before the action starts to happen. Small businesses which can make full use of this adaptability and flexibility, reacting to developing opportunities as and when they happen can mean that they appear higher up the search engine results than many of the international corporations. However, what about the current economical situation? Surely the bigger businesses have a bigger buffer against such strains and pressures, making them dominate the market where smaller businesses may easily crumble?Certainly, the world of finance isn’t being especially kind to many industries at the moment, but perhaps the aspect which has surprised most people is just how many of the leading brands, bigger companies and established businesses have begun to crumble. Many have gone into administration or left the playing field altogether, whilst others have sought rescue packages from the government. What of the pressures facing the small business then? Surely this isn’t any less significant?Just as certain is the fact that the same pressures will be facing small business owners, but there are significant differences. The flexibility and adaptability comes into play again, with smaller businesses able to identify problems as well as opportunities that much quicker, steering out of the way of danger and moving into niche markets or promotion fields which may prove to be safer or more successful. Often the larger businesses only manage to stay competitive because of the huge financial risks and gambles which they take. That’s why many of the chief executives earn such vast sums of money – they are the ones whose heads roll if the decisions they make turn bad. Starting up or developing a small business today means being perceptive enough to understand what markets work well at a time like this, and which don’t, what promotion strategies work well, and which don’t. Thinking from the point of view of the consumer can be easier for small business owners, and it is this which allows them to be more in touch with the emerging needs, markets and opportunities becoming available, leaving the international behemoths to plough forever onwards in an almost immovable path towards whatever lies ahead.

Although international trade compliance has been around since the passage of the Export Control Act in 1940, it has increasingly become a hot issue since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Security concerns over commodity and technology exports are greater than ever, and now, so are concerns over products and materials imported into the U. S. In addition, documentation requirements, whether electronic or hard copy, have become more stringent. Regardless of your company’s commodity or technology, the compliance bar has been raised significantly and the penalties for non-compliance have risen accordingly. Each of the federal agencies tasked with enforcement of international trade compliance have increased resources to better screen, investigate and prosecute illegal or non-compliant activities. Agency facts clearly support these efforts. Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) In FY2007 the DDTC reported a 50% rise in support to criminal investigations and a 50% jump in criminal indictments/convictions as well as a 60% increase in voluntary disclosures. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) The BIS reported a rise in administrative violation cases from 69 in FY2005 to 104 in FY2006 and a doubling of administrative penalties from $6. 8 million to $13. 1 million in the same period. Office of Foreign Asset Controls (OFAC) OFAC also reported a 17% increase in civil penalties from the first half of 2007 to the first 6 months of 2008. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) CBP reported a 40% increase in fines and penalties from the FY2004 to FY2007. If the latest statistics aren’t enough to convince you that now is the time to get compliant, consider the fact that the penalties for violations have increased significantly in an effort to improve compliance with federal regulations. On October 16, 2007, President Bush signed into law the International Emergency Economic Powers (IEEPA) Enhancement Act. The Act provides for civil penalties amounting to the greater of $250,000, or twice the value of the transaction on which the violation is based, imposed for each violation of IEEPA. Willful violators can expect criminal penalties including fines up to $1,000,000 and up to 20 years in prison. The IEEPA penalties apply to violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) as well as sanctions programs enforced by OFAC. Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Mario Mancuso said that “the new law provides significant additional support for our cases, which we intend to apply in an equitable, deliberative and rigorous way. Most important, we think the enhancements will better align incentives to improve overall compliance with our regulations. ” Census and other agencies have also climbed on the increased penalty bandwagon. New Federal Trade Regulations (FTR) effective September 30th, 2008, mandate tougher penalties for everyone involved in the export process. Penalties may be imposed per violation of the FTR from $1,100 to $10,000 both civil and criminal for the delayed filing, failure to file, false filing of export information and/or using the Automated Export System (AES) to further any illegal activity. These beefed up regulatory requirements will not likely end here. Under Secretary Mancuso is urging Congress to follow Senator Chris Dodd’s lead to pass the Export Enforcement Act (EEA) which reauthorizes the EAA (which lapsed in 2001) and includes several other important measures that would enhance U. S. national security through controls on ‘dual use’ goods. He stated that “Congress should move quickly to provide our law enforcement agents with the full range of statutory authorities they need to more effectively combat illegal trade in these goods”. Is your international trade compliance program keeping up with the latest changes in the regulatory and enforcement environment? Companies lacking a good compliance program will not likely fly under the radar for long due to increased enforcement efforts, improved data mining and cargo screening techniques. Achieving these objectives is the job of every member of the international trade community. Establishing and maintaining international trade compliance is not a cost of doing business. Aside from being the ‘right thing to do’, it can save you money, keep away negative publicity, and improve your international transaction efficiency. Will you comply?. . . Right now!
