Sound familiar?

You know there’s a bigger market out there. You just don’t know how to reach it.

You’ve thought about exporting. Maybe you’ve even had an enquiry from overseas. But every time you try to move forward, you hit a wall of regulations, logistics questions and ‘I don’t know who to talk to.’ Meanwhile, other businesses in your sector are building international revenue streams — and the window to get there first is closing.

  • You know your product or service could sell internationally — but you don’t know where to start
  • Every time you research export requirements, you find more questions than answers
  • You’ve considered it, even started, but customs, logistics and compliance feel like a maze
  • You don’t have the international contacts, and cold outreach to foreign markets feels like shouting into nothing

“I know I should be in more markets. I just don’t know the process, the regulations, or who to work with over there.”

— what we hear from almost every founder who joins this stream

What’s possible

Imagine having a clear route into your target market, the right partners already in place, and international revenue flowing.

Your first export order has shipped. Your distribution partner is handling in-market logistics. Your pricing is right for the local market. And you’re not navigating any of it alone — you have a community of founders who’ve done it, and experts who know exactly what to do.

The shift you’re paying for

“From a business that only sells locally — to one that’s recognised, trusted and generating revenue in the markets that matter most to your growth.”

Be honest with yourself

This pass is built for you.
And it’s not for everyone.

You’re in the right place if…

  • You have a product or service that could sell in other markets — and you’re ready to find out how
  • You’re willing to learn the process: regulations, logistics, partnerships — all of it
  • You want introductions to real contacts in your target markets, not just Google searches
  • You’re ready to invest time in international growth, not just think about it
  • You want to build a global business — not just make an occasional overseas sale

This isn’t for you if…

  • You want someone to do your international expansion for you while you do nothing
  • You’re not willing to adapt your product, pricing or approach for different markets
  • You think exporting is just posting your product to another country
  • You want quick wins — international expansion takes 6–18 months of consistent work
  • You’re not ready to deal with the complexity of operating across multiple jurisdictions

Real outcomes

What happens when you actually do the work.

From LEC members. Their words, not ours.

Result: First export order shipped in 4 months

“I’d been thinking about exporting for two years. The Global Trade stream gave me the structure, the contacts and the confidence to actually do it. My first container left for Ghana four months after I joined.”

Food & Beverage
LEC Elevate Member · London Pod
Result: Partnership signed in UAE market

“The introductions alone paid for the entire year’s membership. I met my Dubai distributor through LEC. That deal is now my fastest-growing revenue stream.”

Fashion & Lifestyle
LEC Club Member · Dubai Pod
Result: Entered three new markets in twelve months

“The Global Trade pass gave me the framework I needed. Before LEC, international expansion felt like guesswork. Inside the stream, I had a process, a community of people who’d done it, and experts who gave me straight answers.”

Still thinking?

The real objections, answered.

Every hesitation you have right now — we’ve heard it. Here’s the straight answer.

“Export seems really complicated. Is this for early-stage businesses?”
Export has a reputation for complexity — but most of that complexity is navigable with the right guidance. This stream is specifically designed to demystify the process, starting from wherever you are. Some members are exploring their first market; others are scaling existing international operations. Both get value.
“I don’t have the capital for international expansion right now.”
The stream covers the full range of export finance options — from government-backed export guarantees to trade finance instruments. Many members discover funding options they didn’t know existed. We also help you understand the true cost of market entry before you commit, so there are no expensive surprises.
“My product might not work in another market.”
Market validation is the first thing we cover. You’ll learn how to assess whether a market is right for your product before investing anything — saving you the cost of finding out the hard way. Many members discover their most natural export markets are different from the ones they assumed.
“I don’t have international contacts.”
That’s what the LEC network is for. The Pod model — with hubs in Accra, London, NYC and Dubai — exists precisely to give you warm introductions in markets you’re entering. This isn’t a networking directory. These are real relationships, facilitated by people who know both sides.
Zero risk

If it’s not right for you, we’ll make it right.

Join, show up, do the work in the first 30 days and genuinely feel it wasn’t worth your investment — contact the team and we’ll sort it.

LEC Satisfaction Commitment — 30 days, no hoops, no arguments.
