WorldriseCall

Learn the trade. Reach the suppliers. Build the business.

Trading internationally takes a teacher, a travel agent, a web team and a stack of software. Most people assemble those one at a time, badly, and lose money learning which ones they needed. Worldrise is all four, built for Bangladeshi businesses starting out or scaling up.

The next Canton Fair

Twice a year, Guangzhou holds the largest trade fair on earth, and it runs as three separate fairs in three separate weeks. Which week you attend decides whether your suppliers are in the building at all.

We arrange the invitation letter, the business visa, the flights, a hotel near the complex and a buyer pass for the right phase — and we work backwards from the dates below, which is why we ask people to start early.

Next fair: 141st Canton Fair

How a first import actually goes

In that order. Skipping a step is what turns a trip into an expensive holiday.

Steps one to three are what the two-day intensive covers, worked through on real shipping documents.

See the syllabus

    Learn the trade

    A two-day intensive covering sourcing, costing, LCs, customs — then branding, marketing, sales and negotiation.

  2. 02

    Pick your phase

    The fair splits into three. Going in the wrong week means your suppliers are not in the hall.

  3. 03

    File the visa early

    Invitation letter, bank papers and trade licence, lodged well before the rush.

  4. 04

    Fly and buy

    Flights, hotel and buyer pass arranged together, with someone on the ground who has done it before.

  5. 05

    Ship it home

    Freight forwarding, inspection and customs clearance once you have placed the order.
