What commercial decision do you need to make?
Start with a defined assignment. Continue only when the evidence supports it.
For Indian companies testing Chile, the first step is usually a market test with qualified buyers or distributors. Verification comes before you pay, produce or ship. Delegations are one-off. Chile Desk is the monthly mandate, with a three-month minimum: outreach, meetings, a local phone, and contracts and collections handled by the team’s lawyers.
