Scope local supportChina Business Visits & Local Support
Coming to China? We can run the ground work with you.
A useful business trip should leave you with decisions, not a stack of business cards. We can prepare the route, join the meetings, capture commercial details and keep the open items moving after you leave.
Plan your visitBefore arrival
Clarify objectives, research suppliers or companies, schedule meetings, review the itinerary and prepare questions / negotiation points.
On the ground
Factory or market visits, bilingual commercial communication, supplier meetings, note-taking, local transport / personnel coordination and negotiation support.
After the visit
Post-Visit Action Brief, supplier comparison, quotation / sample / revised-spec tracking, unresolved items and recommended next steps.
One point of contact
A local execution layer your team can actually use.
You should not need separate people for every small part of a China project. Star Tide can own the coordination layer and bring in local interpreters, drivers, supplier contacts and specialist providers as the project requires.
For regulated legal, tax, accounting, medical, certification or formal compliance work, qualified professional providers handle the specialist implementation. Star Tide coordinates the commercial context, preparation and handoff.
