Your Representative in China

Three ways to work with us

China visit programme

Quoted per trip.

We shortlist and check the factories, book the meetings, plan the route and hotels, and go into every meeting with you as your Chinese-speaking side. Each visit is written up afterwards.

For premier clients, a member of our team travels from London with you for the whole trip. On a smaller budget, a member of our team in China meets you there.

Project representation

Quoted per project.

One job with a clear end: qualifying a new supplier, managing a first order through to shipment, renegotiating terms, or getting your moulds back.

Monthly retainer

From £1,500 a month, three-month minimum.

For companies that already buy from China and need someone there every month: supplier calls in Mandarin, visits, quality and delivery follow-up, and a monthly written report.

What we do for you

Talk to suppliers in their language: calls, WeChat and meetings in Mandarin, with everything summarised for you in English.
Be there: factory visits, production checks and sample collection, with photos and written reports.
Keep orders on track: production schedules, independent inspections, shipping documents and payment milestones.
Protect your position: specifications, moulds and tooling records, and payment only to the company you contract with.
Solve problems early: delays, quality issues and price increases raised and negotiated before they become disputes.

Clear terms

We work as your independent contractor under a written scope, in English. We do not sign or commit you to anything in China unless you authorise a specific task in writing. We are paid only by you and take no commissions or fees from suppliers.

Common questions

Do I need a representative office in China?

Many UK companies don't. A representative office is a registered entity with staff and ongoing costs. If you need someone to manage suppliers and visit factories, a contracted representative usually costs far less and can start straight away.

Can you come to China with me?

Yes. For premier clients a member of our team travels from London with you; otherwise a member of our team in China meets you there and joins every meeting.

How do you report to us?

In writing, in English: a summary after every call or visit and, on a retainer, a monthly report with open issues and next steps.

Do you take money from our suppliers?

No. We are paid only by you and confirm this in writing in every engagement.
