- decremental 4y agoMost US businesses don't have employees outside the US and you probably aren't catering to the ones that do.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoPersonally, I wouldn't deliberately signal "I'm too small time for you Fortune 500 outfits to bother with". But even if you don't mind doing so... Our company didn't have any outside-the-US employees - until we did. We hired one remote in Canada, and we hired some contractors in the Philippines and Portugal. So you're creating a situation where either you have to fix your ability to let people connect from outside the US right now (with all the security issues that may cause, which you also have to fix right now), or else you lose a customer each time something like that happens.

- brodock 4y agoif you have an ecommerce and you block acceas from countries where you dont do business, you are making every expat life miserable. just imagine for a moment people may want to send gifts for their loved ones.
- scrose 4y agoI’m sure everyone on this site can come up with reasons why some online businesses should support a worldwide audience. That does not mean every online business needs to set out to support the entire world when it makes no sense for them or 99.999%+ of their legitimate users.
