Fluent in Foreign Business™ and Franchising Agency of Kazakhstan to Cooperate on Franchising in Central Asia

New York, NY, July 01, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Fluent in Foreign Business (www.fluentinforeign.com), a New York City based organization that helps companies grow, finance and protect their business internationally, has announced that it signed a strategic partnership memorandum with the Franchising and Licensing Agency of Kazakhstan.

The memorandum calls for the Agency and Fluent in Foreign to cooperate on bringing international franchises to Kazakhstan. It also calls for the Agency to conduct training programs developed by the Fluent In Foreign Academy (www.academy.fluentinforeign.com). These programs are designed to help local franchisees attract international businesses to Kazakhstan and franchises seeking to expand into the Kazakh markets, learn about bridging cross-cultural gaps, available financing and business development techniques. Programs also cover such topics as FCPA compliance, political risk insurance and other risk-mitigation techniques. A featured product in the program is the Cultural Navigator® suite, which has been developed by the TMC/Berlitz company and is available on the Academy as part of the strategic distribution arrangement reached earlier this year. For the next 60 days, The Agency and Fluent In Foreign are offering Free assessment testing and proprietary Kazakhstan country profile with Fi3F Index™($100 Value) to all who sign up and register for the cross-cultural workshop

“We are very excited to team up with Fluent In Foreign to assist our Agency in developing franchising in Kazakhstan,” said Saule Duysembaeva, Agency’s President. “Franchising is an emerging area in our country and we see terrific potential for both existing and young American brands to develop throughout Kazakhstan. We believe that by bridging cross-cultural gaps and helping structure the business side of the transactions our Agency can greatly speed up adoption of franchising and facilitate entry of quality brands into Kazakhstan,” added Duysembayeva.

“Kazakhstan is one the most successful FSU countries that emerged from the Post Soviet Union transformation. The country possess significant oil and uranium deposits and is benefitting from rapidly growing middle class,” said Alexander Gordin, Managing director of the Fluent In Foreign Business™ Given the country’s 16 million population and thirst for quality international brands, many franchise concepts are poised to succeed in Kazakhstan. Yet concepts such as children’s education, online commerce/social networking, fitness and others that do not require extensive supply infrastructure have a head start due to easier adoption and shorter implementation cycles,” added Gordin

Franchising and Licensing Agency expects to introduce three to five cutting-edge American franchising concepts to Kazakhstan by September 1st of this year. The Agency will also conduct a series of franchising roundtables throughout the country.
