Know the market
Research, checks, and advice
You’re deciding something without the local facts
Is this Czech partner what they claim to be? What do competitors actually charge here? Does anyone in this market want what you sell?
From abroad, all of it is guesswork. The company registers are in Czech, the pricing pages are in Czech, and the people who could tell you are not going to answer an email in English from someone they’ve never heard of.
We find out and tell you what we found. Including when the answer is no.
What we do
Competitor and pricing analysis. What competitors in your category actually charge in this market, how they position themselves, and where the gaps are. Read in Czech, reported in English.
Market entry evaluation. Whether there is real demand for your product here, who buys it, and what it would take to reach them. Often the useful answer is that the market is too small to justify a company here or a local hire, and it’s cheaper to hear that from us than to find out yourself.
That answer isn’t the end of the conversation. Plenty of companies have Czech customers, Czech paperwork or a Czech partner without ever setting anything up here. You can serve this market without being in it, and that’s what the rest of our work is for: the institutional side, and talking to your Czech customers.
Consultations. How things work here. Regulations, business culture, why the bank is asking for that document, what a Czech client will expect in a contract. By the hour, whenever you have a question worth an answer.
Ongoing monitoring. For clients on a retainer, we watch what matters to you: regulatory changes, competitor moves, anything in your category worth knowing before it becomes a problem.
Partner and supplier checks. Before you sign with a Czech company, we check the commercial register, the insolvency register, and the debt records, then call a few people who have worked with them. You get a short written answer: solid, risky, or avoid, and why.
What it costs
Consultations start at €120 per hour, one hour minimum, then in 30-minute blocks.
Research projects and partner checks are quoted per project once we agree what you need. Small checks are small money.
The first call is free.
Where we stop
We’re not a market research agency.
What we do is desk research, public registers, and conversations, done by someone who knows which register to check and who to ask. That is the right tool for most decisions a small company faces. If you genuinely need quantitative consumer research, we’ll find a suitable agency and arrange it for you.
