Welcome to the Virtual Office of RB International Trade Services (RBITS) -
founded by Rosaliene Bacchus to attend to the growing needs of small-business
importers and exporters in an era of globalization.

For business owners unable to keep up with the increasing demands of suppliers and
buyers as well as those who seek to expand their business, RBITS provides you with a
cost-effective solution to operating in the global market using virtual assistance. This
simply means that services are provided off-site via e-mail, fax, telephone, and a secure
business management platform most appropriate for your business needs.

With the technological advances in communications and business management software,
you can have access to qualified, experienced professionals located throughout the USA
and around the world.

Working with online collaborators has been a reality for large corporations in recent times.
In their Report,
Outsourcing comes of age: The rise of collaborative partnering,
released in January 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers found that many top global
executives consider collaboration with suppliers and service providers of growing
importance “to mitigate complexity, reduce transaction costs, and gain competitive
advantages.” (Introduction, page 2.)

According to the Report (page 6), the top reasons firms outsource are to:
  • Lower costs (76% of respondents)
  • Gain access to talent (70%)
  • Farm out activities that others can do better (63%)
  • Increase business model flexibility (56%)
Other reasons of importance are:
  • Improving customer relationships (42%)
  • Developing new products or services/market segment expansion (37% each)
  • Geographic expansion (33%)

As a small-business importer or exporter you can apply the experience and success of
large manufacturers and corporations to develop your own business model.

How can you apply outsourcing to your small business?
By "farming out" activities to a Virtual Assistant, you gain access to the expertise you
need. You also lower your operational costs since your Virtual Assistant is a business
owner who works offsite and provides you with services
only when you need it.

How do you know that RBITS will give your business the attention it needs?
With over fourteen years of experience in international trade, Rosaliene understands the
special needs of importers and exporters: the importance of accurate information, meeting
shipping deadlines, attending to the demands of buyers and suppliers in record time, and
having information available when needed.

How do you know that RBITS can be trusted with your company and client data?
Integrity is of paramount importance to Rosaliene and her team of collaborators.

and experience of working in the global marketplace. By taking care of those essential
administrative and/or operational activities that consume your time, RBITS frees you to
concentrate on growing your business: develop a new product or service, expand your
market at home and abroad or simply stay competitive.
  • See Services Offered for details.
  • Through a collaborative Partners network, RBITS gives you access to other qualified

    operations and keep you abreast of changes in import-export regulations that may
