A coordinated set of services covering every step of your China engagement — refined over 25+ years across hundreds of foreign and domestic enterprises. Engage any service on its own, or stitch them together as an end-to-end programme under a single point of contact at our Bund office.
The groundwork that turns a business plan into a credible, validated presence in China — research, strategy, exhibitions, and real-world product testing.
Industry sizing, competitive landscape, distributor mapping, and channel benchmarking — the diligence that informs a credible China business case.
We refine your entry strategy to align with your business plan — choosing the right structure, partner, and sequencing for the Chinese market.
Exhibitions are a common — and proven — first step into the Chinese market, where you can converse directly with industry experts and grow your network. Using our network and experience, we facilitate the whole process, help you win orders on-site, and secure long-term development after the show closes.
Preparation
On the floor
Follow-through
Startups often struggle to gain the credibility needed to penetrate the Chinese market. Our pilot-testing service secures pilot-run placements that showcase product performance under real-world conditions. We handle everything end-to-end — from matchmaking and introductions with trusted manufacturers, through logistics for product testing, to comprehensive, standards-compliant test reports.
Through decades of relationship-building, E-HENG has become the authorized supplier to many Chinese manufacturers and laboratories — and entered nearly every university lab and major automobile factory's supplier system in China.
ChineseAgent, together with E-HENG, has built a vast network of end users across China. Through cooperation with key partners — Thermo Fisher Scientific, PerkinElmer, ZEISS, Agilent Technologies, Shimadzu, Sartorius, Hamilton, MB Dynamics, HEAD acoustics, PCB Piezotronics, MTS Systems, Canon Electron and more — we have entered almost all university laboratories and the supplier systems of all large automobile factories in China.
We facilitate partner search through our team of experts, agents, and consultants — supporting you fully from initial contact through to the signing of the final agreement with your partners or distributors. We can also select and introduce top sales experts to quickly build an efficient marketing and technical end-user support team.
Containing the world's most accurate and comprehensive database of research scientists, SciLeads enables sales and marketing teams to identify, engage, and qualify their ideal prospects — making lead generation and market research simpler, more streamlined, and more efficient. Their 360° view of the ideal customer is trusted by some of the biggest names in the industry.
We help establish an effective, efficient, and flexible management system covering financial, storage, delivery, and after-sales service. Our knowledgeable staff conduct and manage direct or online sales, and we also supervise the sales processes of wholesalers and distributors — including VAT management.
We design a distributor-management system based on your goals for the Chinese market, then apply your marketing plan with the highest standards and strict adherence to your wishes and government regulations. Our open management system helps you analyse industry trends and reallocate resources across markets.
A Chinese website ensures continuous development where language can be a barrier. With all product documents in Chinese, end-users understand your company better. Because of network restrictions, we recommend hosting within China so domestic users load your homepage faster with an easier interface — and we connect you with professional development partners to build it.
For enterprises dissatisfied with their current distribution channels, we audit, restructure, and operate a better one — protecting brand and revenue continuity.
From customs clearance and end-to-end supply chain to people, payroll, capital, and intellectual property — the operational backbone that keeps your China business running.
Located in Shanghai — China's largest logistics centre — we provide end-to-end supply-chain management that connects your products to customers on time while maximising logistical efficiency. Wherever your goods are, our management centre coordinates the full journey.
We recruit, evaluate, and manage the most qualified candidates to represent your interests in China. If you aim to build your own sales team but are unsure how to find the right people, our thorough screening — written tests, interviews, background checks, and medical examinations — secures a reliable, honest, and stable workforce.
Individual taxes and social-insurance funds can be challenging. We sign employment, consulting and contract agreements with workers, and manage declarations and contributions to social security and insurance funds. We also offer comprehensive payroll management — pay calculation, distribution, individual income-tax declarations, contributions, and payroll reporting.
Securing the right capital at the right time is critical for any start-up — and professional backing strengthens credibility with customers and partners. With our dedicated team, we connect start-ups to local and international investors. Combining our global network with outcome-driven success fees, our success is tied directly to yours — and we can act as a strategic, long-term investment partner, not just a source of cash.
Once you have agreements with partners and distributors, we manage your wider company needs — industry research, organisation of distribution models, market research, pricing-strategy consulting, and allocation of market share. We also arrange face-to-face meetings and any other contact needed to facilitate the partnership.
We provide office facilities, meeting rooms and showrooms for rent — greatly reducing your working cost in China while promoting your corporate image. Our agents handle product-information enquiries, customer complaints, system support, transaction monitoring, and financial / non-financial transactions, following up with suppliers and initiating internal transfers, deposit booking, and FX booking.
When a startup enters the Chinese market, navigating the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) requirements can be daunting. ChineseAgent partners with leading local patent firms to coordinate every step of your China patent filing — from a comprehensive patent-landscape analysis and prior-art identification to crafting robust, CNIPA-compliant claims. Our team manages all translation and document preparation, submits your application electronically, and liaises directly with examiners on your behalf — so you can focus on product development while we handle the administrative complexity.
Most engagements follow this rhythm — though stages can be re-sequenced or run in parallel depending on your timeline.
