The Playbook for Expanding Your Business to Mexico
The comprehensive solution for e-commerce market entry and operations.
Success Story: Lummia (Colombia)
By leveraging this methodology, they scaled to over $25,000 USD in monthly revenue within their first 6 months.
STEP 1: THE STRATEGIC FOUNDATION
The Problem:
Bureaucracy, high costs, and an 8+ month timeline to legally incorporate a business in Mexico.
The Solution: Virtual Landing
Operate with full legal and fiscal compliance without incorporating a new entity. Global Gateway serves as your administrative and legal partner, saving you 6-8 months and over $8,000 USD.
STEP 2: MARKET VALIDATION
The Problem:
Importing "blindly" without understanding true profitability or regulatory barriers.
The Solution: Feasibility Study
We analyze Tariff Barriers (import duties) and Non-Tariff Barriers (NOMs, COFEPRIS) to calculate your total landed cost and ensure profitability.
STEP 3: THE COMMERCIAL LAUNCH
The Problem:
Inability to issue Mexican invoices (facturas), preventing access to major Marketplaces (Amazon, Mercado Libre) and Retailers (Walmart, Liverpool).
The Solution: Total Channel Access
GGM provides the legal framework to contract, sell, and invoice across all channels (B2C, D2C, B2B). We reduce the retailer onboarding process from 9 months to 60-90 days.
STEP 4: LOGISTICAL OPERATIONS
The Problem:
Managing warehousing, order fulfillment, and the complex logistics of last-mile delivery and returns.
The Solution: 4PL Ecosystem
We connect you with best-in-class 3PL and 4PL providers (such as ProLogistics) to manage your fulfillment, bonded warehousing, and reverse logistics (returns), ensuring end-customer satisfaction.
STEP 5: CULTURAL CONNECTION & LOCALIZATION
The Problem:
Launching campaigns that fail to resonate with the Mexican consumer, resulting in low engagement and poor sales performance.
The Solution: Localization ("Tropicalización") & Marketing
We connect you with experts to localize your brand voice, understand the local business culture (formality, hierarchy), and execute effective social media strategies (WhatsApp, TikTok) with paid media.
