What We Handle

Nine services that usually appear together on a commercial trip. Use all of them, or only the ones that are difficult.

Business itineraries

Multi-city schedules built around your meetings, fair dates and factory appointments - with travel time that actually works.

Supplier liaison

Introductions and follow-up with the factories, trading companies and service providers you want to meet, in Chinese and in your name.

Factory and site visits

Workshop visits, capacity checks and process walk-throughs, arranged with production managers rather than sales staff alone.

Sourcing and sampling

Market sweeps, sample collection and reorders - including the follow-up that decides whether a sample becomes a shipment.

Interpreting and coordination

Business-level interpreters for meetings and technical visits, briefed on your product and your position before they walk in.

Negotiation support

Structured support on price, MOQ, lead time and terms: what to raise, in what order, and what to leave for the second meeting.

Meetings and conferences

Venue selection, room set-up, attendee logistics and interpretation for conferences, board meetings and incentive sessions.

Performance and cultural programmes

Traditional performances, cultural showcases and evening programmes for clients, delegations and incentive groups.

Banquets and hosting

Private rooms, menu design, dietary requirements, seating order and gifting - the parts of a dinner that carry commercial weight.

How an Engagement Runs

  1. 01

    Brief and objective

    We start from the commercial goal rather than the itinerary: who you need to meet, what you need to inspect, and what the trip has to decide.

  2. 02

    Route and appointments

    Cities, dates and travel time are planned around confirmed appointments; invitations and meeting schedules are requested in writing.

  3. 03

    Bilingual groundwork

    Interpreters are briefed, documents are prepared, and the technical vocabulary of your product is settled before the first meeting.

  4. 04

    On the ground

    One coordinator with you through the days that matter - transport, meeting logistics, interpretation and the changes that happen in a Chinese business day.

  5. 05

    Follow-through

    Contact summaries, next steps and the questions your host did not answer in the room, sent to you in writing after the trip.

Where We Work

Programmes are built around where your suppliers and your meetings actually are, not around tourism routes.

Guangdong and the Bay Area

Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan - the Canton Fair and the manufacturing belt that surrounds it. Electronics, appliances, hardware, furniture.

Zhejiang and Yiwu

The world's largest small-commodity market, plus the textile and light-industry clusters of the coastal provinces.

Hunan and central China

Equipment, advanced manufacturing and digital industry, increasingly paired with trade delegations and media business missions.

Yunnan and the southwest

Agriculture, coffee, flowers and cross-border trade with Southeast Asia.

Shanghai and the Yangtze Delta

Headquarters meetings, finance, design, exhibitions at the National Exhibition and Convention Center.

Nationwide coverage

Through our licensed operator we arrange ground services across China - programmes are not limited to the cities listed above.

Programmes You Can Start From

Four existing business programmes - each can be adjusted in length, city and industry focus.

Practical Essentials

The details that decide whether a business trip runs smoothly. We would rather settle them before you fly than improvise them on arrival.

Business (M) visa and invitations

Most business travel runs on the M visa or the current visa-free arrangements. Where a formal invitation is required, it is issued through our licensed operator - we prepare the travel documentation side and tell you honestly what we can and cannot influence.

Invoices and fapiao

If you need a Chinese invoice for services, say so before the trip starts: the type of fapiao, the title it is issued to and the tax details have to be decided in advance, not at the end.

Payments on the ground

Set up a domestic payment wallet before you fly, and keep a contingency for suppliers who invoice by transfer only. We flag which of your appointments expect which payment method.

Samples and customs

Samples you carry out of China and equipment you bring in both have rules. We confirm what is sensible to hand-carry and what should be shipped.

Confidentiality

Interpreters and coordinators working on your programme sign confidentiality undertakings, and we keep your supplier shortlists and pricing off any public channel.

Interpretation scope

We agree the purpose of every interpreter - negotiation, technical inspection or hospitality - and match seniority to it. A junior interpreter in a price meeting is a false economy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you organise the whole business trip, or only parts of it?

Both. Some clients hand over the entire programme - flights, hotels, transfers, appointments, interpreters and hospitality. Others use us only where the difficulty is: factory visits, interpretation, or the days around a trade fair.

Can you introduce us to suppliers in a specific industry?

Yes, within the sectors we work in and through our local network. We ask for your specification first, then come back with a shortlist and what is known about each candidate - not a directory dump.

Do you provide interpretation for technical negotiations?

Yes. Interpreters are briefed on your product, your terminology and your negotiating position, and we tell you in advance where a general interpreter is enough and where you need someone with the industry vocabulary.

Can you arrange factory audits or quality inspections?

We arrange visits, introductions and coordination with the people who run production. Where a formal third-party audit or certification is needed, we help you appoint a qualified inspection body rather than performing the audit ourselves.

We are bringing a delegation. Can you handle a group?

Yes - delegations are one of the programmes we run most often: meeting schedules, interpretation, transport for the group, banquet and cultural arrangements, and one coordinator holding the file.

Does a business trip need to be arranged far in advance?

Appointments and interpreters benefit from two to four weeks; trade fair weeks need more. Visa processing time is the other constraint, so start with dates and the invitation requirement.

Tell Us What the Trip Has to Achieve

Send your dates, the city or cities, the suppliers or industries you need to reach, and how many people are travelling. We come back with a programme, a costed proposal and an honest view of what can be done in the time.
