Enter Russia with clarity.
Market intelligence and market-entry strategy for international companies.
We help international companies understand the Russian market, identify viable opportunities and build practical entry strategies without the cost of a full local team.
Most international companies don't know
- Is the market attractive?
- Who are the right partners?
- Which channels actually work?
- What are the operational risks?
- Do we need a local team?
We turn uncertainty into an actionable market-entry plan.
Four ways to work together
Each one stands on its own. Open a block to see what you get.
- Market size, structure and main channels for your category
- Who sells what, where, and at which shelf prices
- Whether your product is already in Russia through grey imports
- A clear recommendation: go deeper, wait, or skip
- The right entry model: distributor, retail chains, marketplaces or a mix
- Price walk from factory price to shelf, with every margin in between
- Certification, labelling and trademark steps for your category
- Key risks and a 90-day action plan
- Long list of partners who actually work your category
- Outreach and first conversations in Russian on your behalf
- Background checks: ownership, courts, finances, brands they carry
- Side-by-side comparison of terms, support until first agreement
- Ongoing partner management and follow-up in Russian
- Monthly sell-in, sell-out and stock reporting for your HQ
- Price monitoring across marketplaces and retail chains
- Support in annual terms negotiations
