US middle-market firms reluctant to expand abroad, says survey

Nearly three-quarters (73%) of US middle-market firms that currently sell and operate solely in North America do not intend to expand beyond the region in the next three years, a survey has revealed today.

Only 7% of these “domestic” firms are currently engaged in overseas expansion, according to a report entitled 'US middle market firms and the global marketplace: Should I stay or should I go?'.
