Andersen Consult

What Andersen Consult does

Andersen Consult ApS is a privately held Danish consulting firm founded in 2002 by Lars Siggaard Andersen, headquartered in Aalborg with a regional office in Copenhagen. The firm specializes in emerging-market project development and export facilitation for Danish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with operating presence across Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia), South Asia, and Sub-Saharan and North Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Morocco, Ghana, Egypt). The core offering combines facilitated business delegations, curated entrepreneur networks, and individualized project-development consulting, supported by long-standing partnerships with Danish government agencies including Danida, IFU, the Trade Council, and Danish embassies in target markets, as well as chambers of commerce and Asia House Denmark.

The firm's product portfolio centers on the AndersenB2B.com digital platform — launched in 2015 as a B2B networking and matchmaking layer between Danish SMEs and partners in emerging markets — supplemented by three persistent entrepreneur networks: the East Asia Frontier Club (EAFC, established 2004), the Africa Frontier Market Group (2012), and the Danish-Asian SME Network (DASN, 2021, co-founded with Asia House Denmark and Danish Export Association). Membership tiers (Premium/Platinum) provide recurring revenue, while the Toolbox offers templated business-planning resources for common internationalization requirements.

The business model rests on three revenue streams: professional services fees for individual consultancy and project development engagements; recurring annual membership subscriptions to the AndersenB2B network; and participation fees (DKK 4,000–11,500 per participant) for organized business delegations, some of which are subsidized through Danida programs covering up to 75% of delegation costs and up to DKK 5 million for long-term partnership projects. Distribution is field-sales-led by a small team of 3–4 permanent consultants plus part-time staff, supported by partner referrals, event-driven demand generation, and digital channels including LinkedIn and the AndersenB2B platform.

Broad incumbents

• Business Finland: Finnish national public agency providing export and internationalization services to Finnish SMEs, including market analysis, partner search, and delegation programs. It is a Nordic analog running an almost identical mandate to Andersen Consult but with national-scale resources and government backing, making it a broad incumbent in the same consulting niche.
• Business Sweden: Swedish government-owned agency helping Swedish companies internationalize through advisory, partner matchmaking, and overseas offices. It is comparable in mandate (SME internationalization consulting) and delivery model (delegations, partner search) to Andersen Consult, but at national scale and across a much wider product portfolio.
• Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO): Dutch public agency supporting Dutch SMEs with internationalization and emerging-market entry, including market scouting, partner search, and advisory programs. It functions in the same emerging-market SME consulting space as Andersen Consult but with significantly broader scope and government backing across multiple instruments.
• Innovation Norway: Norwegian state instrument providing advisory services, innovation grants, and internationalization support to Norwegian SMEs, including emerging market programs. It is a Nordic peer public agency operating in the same SME export/partner-search consulting space as Andersen Consult.
• Danish Trade Council / The Trade Council Denmark: Public Danish government agency providing export advisory, market entry services, and internationalization support to Danish companies. It is the most direct public-sector counterpart to Andersen Consult, with overlapping territory in SME internationalization and government-funded delegation programs, but it operates as part of a broader portfolio of trade services rather than as a niche private facilitator.

Others

• Nordic Development Fund (NDF): Multi-lateral Nordic institution providing development finance for climate and infrastructure projects in developing countries, listed among Andersen Consult's partners. It is more upstream (capital and policy) than Andersen Consult (on-the-ground SME advisory), but it shapes the same emerging-market Danish-coverage opportunity.
• IFU (Investment Fund for Developing Countries): A core Andersen Consult partner that provides risk capital and project financing to Danish companies in developing countries. While primarily a financier rather than a competing consultant, it sits in the same value chain of Danish SME emerging-market entry and shapes the addressable opportunity Andersen Consult serves.

Direct peers

• EurA Consult: European consulting firm that supports SMEs and large enterprises in internationalization, innovation, and emerging-market projects, frequently in cooperation with publicly financed programs. It pursues a mandate and delivery model (EU/EISME-style subsidized SME export consulting) that closely mirrors Andersen Consult's Danida-anchored approach.
• Danish Export Association (Dansk Eksportforening): Member-based association promoting Danish export activities and providing trade development programs and international networking. It co-develops the DASN network with Andersen Consult, and they jointly support Danish SMEs entering Asian markets, making them direct functional peers rather than purely partners.
• Asia House Denmark: Strategic partner of Andersen Consult that promotes Danish–Asian business relations through events, seminars, and delegations. It is a close co-developer and partially overlapping competitor in facilitating Danish SMEs' market entry into Asia, with shared commercial delegations and joint thought-leadership activities.
