Be present in the markets that matter.
TradeDelegate deploys experienced local representatives to conferences, customer meetings, and market-development opportunities — so your company can build a real commercial presence before hiring a permanent country team.
No office. No local entity. No full-time hire — yet.
You don't need an office to have a presence.
International expansion often begins long before a company is ready to hire a country manager, establish an office, or relocate executives. TradeDelegate bridges that gap with trained, market-based professionals equipped with your positioning, objectives, and target-account strategy.
Two ways to enter a market.
Traditional expansion asks you to commit before you know whether the market works. TradeDelegate reverses the order.
How TradeDelegate works
Six steps from "we need to be there" to a qualified pipeline back on your desk.
Tell us where you need to be
Select the market, event, industry, objectives, and duration.
We match your delegate
We identify a representative with relevant market, industry, commercial, and relationship-building experience.
We learn your business
Your TradeDelegate completes a structured briefing covering your product, customers, positioning, competitors, and qualification criteria.
We build your market plan
Depending on your engagement, we identify target companies, attendees, potential partners, meetings, and opportunities.
Your delegate goes to market
Your representative attends, meets, qualifies, presents, and connects important prospects directly with your leadership team by video.
Everything comes back to you
Receive contacts, notes, qualified opportunities, meeting summaries, market insights, and recommended next steps.
One platform. Four levels of market presence.
Choose the level of presence you need today — and change it as the market proves itself.

Frequently asked questions
What is Fractional Market Presence?
Fractional Market Presence gives a company access to experienced local commercial representation without requiring it to immediately hire a permanent team or establish a full local operation.
What is a TradeDelegate?
A TradeDelegate is a contracted professional assigned to represent your company's commercial interests for a defined engagement.
Is a TradeDelegate an employee of my company?
Generally, no. TradeDelegates operate under a defined contractual representation arrangement unless another structure is specifically established.
Can our CEO join meetings remotely?
Yes. Important prospects can be connected directly with your internal executives by video or phone during the meeting.
Do you guarantee sales?
No. We can guarantee agreed activity and deliverables where stated, but commercial outcomes depend on your product, market, pricing, competitors, and prospects.
Which countries do you cover?
Coverage depends on representative availability and industry requirements. Submit your target market and we'll confirm availability.
Do you provide immigration or visa services?
No. TradeDelegate is a commercial representation and market-presence service. We don't provide immigration legal advice or promise visa outcomes.
Will you sign contracts on our behalf?
Not unless specifically authorized under an appropriate written agreement. Standard representation does not automatically include authority to bind your company legally.
