The research methodology began with a literature review then there was a focus on data analysis and description. The research questions are “what are the characteristics of multinational companies for business internationalization?” And “what implications, reasons and goals are there?” Some of the results illustrated that multinational companies are very important for business internationalization since they are one of the main internationalization strategy but they may face some restrictions, losses or possible difficulties in negotiations abroad. Taxes and the unpredictable risks may make them an object to sudden losses. In conclusion, Internationalization has been so far a relevant step for companies and businesses to leave the difficulties of domestic narrow markets and similarities. Some business operations of multinational companies such as outsourcing, licensing, exports or FDIs should focus more on the contracting process and locations.
