There are 20,000 members currently who have access to help and advice with such matters as placing difficult cases and getting answers to queries regarding networks or particular companies.
Cherry managing director Donna Hopton said: “In order to deliver that best advice, advisers working in an international environment servicing the needs of the expatriate community need to be completely on top of an ever increasing mountain of red tape.
"By utilising the benefits of our forum and business specific services, the legions of one man bands and bigger firms alike will be strengthened by being able to tap into the expertise of other practitioners."
She added that one of the problems that smaller firms working in the international arena face is a lack of marketing capability “but by coming together via cherry, we believe there will ultimately be sufficient funds available for strategies like TV and wider media advertising.”
The forum is free to join but there are also some paid services such as recruitment advertising, advertising for referrals from other advisers, and advertising for introducers.
