Business-Iran has its main office in Tehran and a subsidiary in Dusseldorf-Germany. The last two decades we continued to be in business with Iran, worked on projects and carried out transactions.

We believe that just by having good concepts and a strong marketing plan is not everything but being involved in the implementation on site is what makes a good deal successful. Therefore the expertise we offer is not only theoretical background but proven practice because we accompany our customers end-to-end.

This is why we stand out. Financing and closing the deal are two different things in Iran and very different in comparison to the western world. This may be the main reason why so many European and especially German companies struggle with doing Business with Iran.

Iran: Great opportunities for the German „Mittelstand“ and mid-sized european companies

Having about 80 million inhabitants Iran is comparable to the size of Germany from a population point of view. One main difference is the backwards trend of the economy. This trend is directly tied to decades of sanctions which isolated the country from an economic perspective. However, the deal with Iran might lead to lifting or even full removal of the sanctions, at the same time uncovering the true potential, which is currently not accessible to most western companies.

This potential becomes visible by comparing the GDP of Germany with Iran. While the Iranian GDP is about 6,500 US $, the German GDP is about 45,000 US $. One must be aware: The economical deficits of the country as well as its potential are immense! The main resources are: A very young and well educated population looking out for commercial consumption as well as enormous natural resources (one of the biggest oil and gas in place as well as further natural soil resources).

Traditionally european countries are the biggest trade partners of the country, providing Europeans a very positive image. They are perceived as quality oriented, structured and well organized. This perception shapes the picture Iranians have from western products as well. The local demand especially for European products is estimated to be about 34% of all imports into the country – a theoretical market value of 25 billion US $.
