Niger - Local Professional ServicesNiger - Local Professional Services
The specific type of representation that a U.S. firm establishes in Niger must be tailored to fit the individual requirements of the product and its potential market. U.S. firms may employ the services of an agent, appoint a distributor or dealer, and/or establish a direct sales branch or subsidiary. Preferably, the agent or the distributor should be a local business/firm, fluent in French and knowledgeable about Niger's business practices. If the product requires some servicing, the U.S. exporter should make available a reasonable inventory of spare parts to his agent or distributor. U.S. companies also should provide brochures and marketing literature in French.
