The International Partner Search (IPS) helps you find potential agents, distributors, manufacturers, representatives, joint venture partners, licensees, franchisees, or strategic partners without even leaving the U.S. We will contact a large group of potential Uzbekistani partners using the marketing materials you provide, and then identify the companies that are interested and capable of becoming a viable representative for you in Uzbekistan. The IPS report on these companies includes:

• 
  contact information and basic business profile on as many as five potential Uzbekistani companies and representatives;
  
• 
  each company’s opinion on the market for your product and/or service;
  
• 
  the U.S. Commercial Service staff’s opinion on the contact’s level of interest and overall suitability;
  
• 
  competition from local or third-country firms.

In these cases, the report will include information on the marketability of the client’s product or service, such as regulatory, trade, competitor and/or other factors that may prohibit or limit sales prospects in the relevant market.
