Chief Executive, The Thy Global Investment Ltd, Mr. Ismail Abdulazeez, is committed to the growth of small scale export companies. To actualize this, he has started a mentoring scheme for them. DANIEL ESSIET report.

He has been exporting agro commodities and charcoal successfully to Asia and Europe for over than five years. With ‘much’ experience in the trade, Mr. Ismail Abdulazeez is willing to help entrepreneurs access new markets by mentoring them.
New comers would be helped to take advantage of his expertise, deliver and adopt a strategy and take their businesses to the next level.
Abdulazeez started from zero. He established his firm The Thy Global Investment Ltd from his home in Sango in Ogun State. Today, he has a warehouse and some staff.
He has exported his products to countries where he had never met the buyers.
Though there are risks, AbdulAzeez said there are steps to follow, claiming they (steps) have led him to hit big deals.
For new comers, Azeez suggests a mentoring programme. Such would match newcomers with veteran exporters. New comers must pick one market at a time and master it before delving into a new area, he advised.
Despite establishing a foothold in the charcoal market, he is still looking forward to new opportunities to grow the business.
As the business grew, he repackaged his products, making them favourites in Southern Europe and other parts of the world. To him, exports bring unique challenges, but these could be overcome. There are regulations which are tough and time-consuming, he noted.
AbdulAzeez has contended with foreign exchange challenges and payment and negotiating the best rates for foreign exchange transactions.
He faced them with a positive attitude. He has identified a gap in the market for organic products. Since launching into it, his business has grown.
He said Europe is good for entrepreneurs. There’s been a good track record for entrepreneurs in Europe, especially those respective to the natural and organic concept.
AbdulAzeez said buyers were looking for quality exports and Nigerians must respond to earn the reputation for value.
Before exporting, he said he does market research and takes advantage of all help and free advice he can get.
As a mentor, he suggests some potential partners that can aid one’s foray into new markets.
Besides, he runs an online club to provide answers to would-be-exporters to meet their business needs in new markets, access practical information on export topics, and explore the latest international opportunities for their business. He hopes the mentoring programme will help start-ups and grow their businesses to flourish.
With his seminars, he believes new entrants will translate the lessons they learn into action, the skills appropriate to succeed in export business.
