For the cover read about - For our Issue of “The Most Influential Business Leader to Watch in 2024,” Nichole Daher, we present Founder and CEO of SOS Franchising, leading her way to revolutionize Autism Treatment for good. However, before we get to her trailblazing story, we need to understand what ABA therapy is. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a leading approach for supporting autistic individuals. This science-based method focuses on developing observable improvements in behavior. Through positive reinforcement and errorless teaching, ABA therapy reduces problem behaviors, teaches essential skills like communication and independence, and promotes a love of learning. A Mother Building a Bridge of Hope ABA therapy helps individuals move beyond their symptoms and thrive as functional adults within their communities. This is where Nichole steps in as someone who just started her journey of being a stepmother of an autistic child. New to the situation, she attended parent training classes at her stepdaughter’s ABA therapy clinic. As the child progressed in leaps and bounds, everything seemed well until she turned 7, and the ABA clinic terminated services. At this point, Nichole discovered the flaws in the system, like the vast majority of ABA clinics only accepted children up to age 7. Additionally, they did not offer ancillary services that children with Autism also need in conjunction with ABA. Nichole found this to be a concerning trend, as it was nearly impossible to find complete treatment for autistic kids. In the spotlight of global animal nutrition, , Hamlet Protein under the leadership of , shines as a CEO Erik Visser beacon of innovation and sustainability.

10. Advancing Animal Nutrition for a Sustainable Food System CEO Erik Visser Good nutrition isn’t just about keeping animals healthy—it directly affects food safety, farm productivity, and even human health. When animals get the right balance of nutrients, they grow stronger, fight off diseases better, and produce higher-quality meat, milk, and eggs. But when nutrition falls short, immunity weakens, diseases spread more easily, and the entire food chain is at risk. Outbreaks like African Swine Fever (ASF), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and Avian Influenza (AI) show how livestock health can directly impact farmers, consumers, and food supplies. Science-backed nutritional solutions can make all the difference—improving gut health, driving performance, and making farming more sustainable. With growing consumer demand for ethical and responsible food production, prioritizing better nutrition isn’t just an option—it’s the key to healthier animals, safer food, and a stronger, more resilient food system.

Choosing between direct exporting vs. indirect exporting can be tricky. Which one is the right fit for your business? Keep reading to find out. Which Is Right for Your Business? www.theenterpriseworld.com | 33
34. Disadvantages of Direct Exporting: High Initial Investment: Setting up operations overseas or managing logistics can be costly. Complex Regulations: Dealing with foreign trade laws and compliance rules can feel a bit difficult. Increased Risk: Managing exports directly exposes you to greater financial and operational risks. Time-Consuming: Handling every aspect of export management can drain resources and time. What Is Indirect Exporting? Indirect exporting involves partnering with intermediaries, such as export agents or trading companies, who handle the process on your behalf. You sell your products to these intermediaries, who then take care of shipping and customer relations in the foreign market. What Is Direct Exporting? Direct exporting means selling your products or services directly to foreign customers without involving any intermediaries. You handle everything from production to shipping and customer interaction. This method gives you full control over the entire process, allowing you to build a direct relationship with your international clients. Advantages of Direct Exporting: Greater Control: Since you manage every step, you have more control over pricing, branding, and customer interactions. Higher Profit Margins: Without intermediaries taking a cut, you keep more of the revenue. Brand Recognition: Building relationships directly with foreign customers can strengthen your brand presence abroad. Customer Insights: Direct interactions help you understand customer preferences and feedback firsthand. Disadvantages of Indirect Exporting: Reduced Control: You rely on the intermediary for pricing, marketing, and customer service. Lower Profit Margins: Intermediaries take a share of the revenue, reducing your overall profit. Brand Dilution: Your products may be marketed under the intermediary’s brand, weakening your own. Limited Market Knowledge: You may miss out on direct insights into customer preferences and market trends. Advantages of Indirect Exporting: Lower Risk: You avoid dealing with unfamiliar foreign regulations and customer management. Cost Efficiency: Partnering with intermediaries reduces your need for international infrastructure. Expert Assistance: Experienced export partners can streamline the process and boost efficiency. Focus on Production: Since the intermediary handles exporting, you can concentrate on core business activities. | April 2025 34

Factors Direct Exporting Indirect Exporting Control Profit Margins Risk Customer Interaction Market Knowledge Full control over the export process Limited control due to reliance on intermediaries Profit Margins Higher, as no intermediaries take a cut Lower, since intermediaries claim a share Higher, due to direct involvement Lower, as intermediaries absorb more risk Direct interaction with foreign customers No direct customer interaction Deeper insights due to direct feedback Limited knowledge as intermediaries handle sales Direct Exporting vs. Indirect Exporting: A Comparative Analysis Now that we have covered the basics, let’s break down the direct exporting vs. indirect exporting debate with a side-by-side comparison. When considering direct exporting vs. indirect exporting, think about your business’s capacity to manage risks, your willingness to build international relationships, and how much control you want over branding and customer service. Which Approach Is Right for You? Choosing between direct exporting vs. indirect exporting largely depends on your business’s goals and resources. If you have the expertise, infrastructure, and willingness to take on risks, direct exporting might be the way to go. On the other hand, if you prefer a low-risk approach with less hassle, indirect exporting could be a better fit. Some businesses even adopt a hybrid model, starting with indirect exporting to test the waters before gradually transitioning to direct exporting as they gain experience and confidence. This approach allows companies to minimize initial risks while slowly building the capabilities needed for direct exporting. www.theenterpriseworld.com | 35
36. Direct vs Indirect Exporting Final Thoughts “ “ Deciding between direct exporting vs. indirect exporting is a crucial step in your business’s global expansion journey. Weighing the pros and cons of each method can help you make an informed choice that aligns with your goals. Understanding your business’s strengths and limitations is important for maintaining control and maximizing profits, convenience, and reduced risk Expanding into international markets is a bit difficult, but choosing the right export strategy can make the process smoother and more profitable.

"Everything I need in one place": I like that I can view my pay details including what's taken out for taxes and my tax forms. I was able to get my W2 directly off of BambooHR which was helpful. I also really like being able to see who is off that day and upcoming company holidays I think it solves the problem of complicated input of hours and not knowing exactly how much of my paycheck will be deducted for taxes. Inputting my hours is super easy, and I like that it tells me my total hours for each week and each pay period. I also love that it tells me what percentage of my paycheck is deducted for taxes. I've never had that before, and it makes it easy to know exactly what will be on my paycheck.

The hiring features are a standout, streamlining the entire hiring process and ensuring a smoother experience for both recruiters and candidates. BambooHR has addressed several critical issues and streamlined essential HR processes. One notable benefit is its efficiency in time management and tracking, providing an accurate system for payroll processing. Before BambooHR, we had physical time cards. The hiring process has been transformed, with BambooHR offering features that enhance recruitment, making it a breeze to manage and onboard new team members. Overall, BambooHR has increased efficiency and streamlined the workflow for our team. "Great app, super user friendly and easy to navigate.”: What I like most about BambooHR is that I can easily clock in and out, schedule time off for review, and view other users' time off on the company calendar to know how to plan. The message/announcement aspect is great too so that important info can get easily communicated to the whole team. As a user I appreciate being able to view my exact accrued hours for time off, and being able to take those hours out as I request time off makes it super easy to know how many hours I have left to use. | April 2025 48
