Choosing the Right Partner

Selecting the right partner is the first and most crucial decision for any Western company looking to switch manufacturing capacity into China. Business Bridge to China is ideally placed to help with this decision.

Given the massive scale of the Chinese economy and the rate at which it is currently growing, there is certainly no shortage of Chinese companies that are enthusiastic about finding a good outlet for their products in the West.

However, finding 'the right one' is far from easy - and whether they realise it or not, most companies will need expert help if they are to avoid undue risk.

The vastness of the country means that the good potential partners are not always easy to locate - and decisions regarding people who appear trustworthy and reliable can easily become clouded by differences in culture and language.

Stories abound of those companies that have attempted this selection process on a 'go it alone' basis. Many have spent large sums of money in pursuit of their dream partner - only to find that in the fullness of time, they have had their fingers badly burned.

Based on more than 20 years experience of trading with businesses throughout China, by combining the skills of its staff in the UK and China, Business Bridge to China aims to make the process of establishing links with suitable/reliable Chinese partners as quick and as painless as possible for its client companies.

If appropriate to the needs of its clients, Business Bridge to China staff can then handle the negotiation of new joint venture and/or supply agreements, supervise production and shipment, and advise on the creation of new supply chain controls.
