lesson by lesson

8 modules with worked examples

Module 1 Read your local market 4 hUnderstand

Every plan starts with the place. Read Georgia and Israel as your customer does before you choose a sector.

Two different countries, two sets of rules. Pick the country first, then use that country’s list in every module.
Both have strong technology and start-up activity; many small firms sell abroad from day one.
Languages differ by customer: write the page in the local language plus English.
Public holidays and the working week differ; put the working days on every delivery promise.

Worked example. Market page for Georgia and Israel: size in one line, three languages or fewer, main payment methods, three public holidays that affect delivery, and one risk. Each line has a source you can open and a date.

Activity. Write a one-page market page with sources and dates. Ask two local people to correct it.

Standard to meet. Cite a source and a date for every line, have two local readers confirm the facts, and name one risk with a response.

Module 2 Check the fit of this sector 4 hAnalyse

3D Printing sits in the cluster "Technology and digital services". Judge its fit for Georgia and Israel before spending money.

Local angle: Both countries have a technology culture: security, privacy, cloud and testing services sell to small firms.
Score demand, skills you hold, start-up cost, rules and partner access from 1 to 5.
A rules score below 3 makes this a later project.
Not on the regulated list, but check any activity licence.

Worked example. Fit table for 3D Printing in Georgia and Israel: list three local customer groups, one local competitor type (no names), one rule that could stop you and one partner type. Score each criterion with a reason.

Activity. Write a fit table for 3D Printing with scores and reasons. Ask one local reader to challenge two scores.

Standard to meet. Score five criteria with reasons, name one rule risk, and state the regulated status.

Module 3 Register and license 4 hApply

Rules differ by place. Check current rules with a licensed local adviser before you act for real.

Name the country first. Each has its own registration route: an individual-entrepreneur or small-business type in one, a dealer type or a company in the other.
Compare the types by tax, liability and filing work before you choose; write the table.
Licences vary by activity (food, health, money, education centres); list yours before the first order.
Keep a local address and a named contact in the country where you trade.

Worked example. Licence list for a small 3D Printing business: registration type, tax registration, address, any activity licence, insurance. Next to each, write who issues it, what it costs in GEL (from their public page), how long it takes, and the date you checked.

Activity. Build a licence table for your chosen sector with issuer, cost, time and the date checked. Do not apply; this is a plan.

Standard to meet. Complete the table with a public source for every row, put the steps in a logical order, and write one question for an adviser.

Module 4 Protect data and customers 3 hApply

Trust is the real product. Protect customer data and keep your promises in writing.

Both countries have a personal-data law; read the one for the country where the customer lives.
Say in plain words what you collect and why; give a way to see and correct it.
Keep marketing consent records; customers must be able to say no.
Moving data between the two countries or to a third place may need a safeguard; check with a local expert.

Worked example. Privacy notice in five lines: who we are; what we collect; why; who sees it; how to ask for a copy, correction or removal. Plus a data map listing each tool and where it stores data.

Activity. Write the five-line notice and a data map for your plan. Ask a peer to find any gap.

Standard to meet. Write the notice in plain words, list every tool in the data map, and write and date the refund and complaint steps.

Module 5 Find and serve customers 4 hCreate

Go where your customers already are, in the language they use. Language: Georgian, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and English depending on the country and customer.

Channels: messaging apps and social media are strong in both; add a local marketplace.
Language: one page in the local language, one in English; never mix currencies on one price.
Payments: bank transfer and local payment methods; show the currency code next to every price.
Trust: registration number, address, delivery days and a refund note on every page.

Worked example. Test plan: show the offer to 20 real people through two channels over two weeks; count enquiries, replies and first orders. Example result: 20 shown, 6 enquiries, 2 orders: a 10% order rate. Change one thing (price or wording) and test again.

Activity. Test two channels with 20 people. Record results in a table and write the next change.

Standard to meet. Test has a start and end date; results are counted, not guessed; one change is chosen and justified.

Module 6 Price, tax and money 4 hEvaluate

Know your numbers in GEL. Tax rule in one line: Local sales tax and income tax differ in each country; a small-business regime may apply in one and a dealer type in the other.

Write GEL next to every number.
Contribution per unit = price minus the cost of each unit.
Break-even units = fixed monthly cost divided by contribution per unit; round up.
Add tax and duty explicitly; never bury them in a price.
Check against a worse case: if sales are 25% lower, do you still cover costs?

Worked example. For a small 3D Printing business (all amounts are estimates): price GEL 120 per unit, cost GEL 70 per unit, fixed cost GEL 3,000 per month. Contribution = 120 - 70 = 50. Break-even = 3,000 / 50 = 60.0, so 60 boxes per month. If sales fall 25% from 120, you sell 90 and the margin is 1,500.

Activity. Build your own sheet in GEL: price, unit cost, fixed cost, contribution, break-even and a 25% worse case. Put the tax and duty rules in a separate line with a source.

Standard to meet. Complete all six lines of the sheet in GEL, have a peer check the arithmetic, and show the worse case.

Module 7 People and partners 3 hApply

Plans become real through people. Hire, partner and write every promise down.

Employment rules, notice and social contributions differ; read the one for the country of the worker.
Written terms and signed copies for every helper, even part-time.
Freelancers are common: write scope, price, language and date in one page.
Partner with a local college, chamber or training body to find helpers and to practise.

Worked example. Role card for a first helper: tasks, hours, pay in GEL, trial period, review date, and one measure of success. Signed by both sides.

Activity. Write one role card and one partner letter (what each side gives). Role-play a first meeting for 10 minutes.

Standard to meet. Write a role card with pay in local currency, hours and a review date, balance the partner letter, and keep signed copies of both.

Module 8 Launch plan and review 4 hCreate

Finish with a one-page launch plan and a plan to review it every month.

Dates: first test, first order, first review.
One measure per week: enquiries, orders or revenue; pick one.
A monthly review: what we planned, what happened, what we change.
Keep a risk list with a response for each; include a rules change.
Local caution: the final country choice will be confirmed before opening.

Worked example. Launch page for Georgia and Israel: Week 1 licence table done; Week 2 test with 20 people; Week 3 numbers sheet checked; Week 4 launch decision with a go or no-go rule written in advance.

Activity. Write the launch page and present it to two people for 10 minutes. Record their questions and your answers.

Standard to meet. Plan has dates, one weekly measure, a go or no-go rule and a risk list; presenter answers three questions with evidence.
