A hands-on team on the ground

What you are most likely lacking, is a roadmap of your opportunities in China, and a hands-on team on the ground.

Should you sell online in China? Or through a local distributor? Or perhaps what you need is to tap into the local network to find the right buyer(s).

Get guidance and direct assistance from a local team that explores and pitches on your behalf so your products and services can get in front of a massive market in China.

All without the hassle of setting up a team or opening an entity in China just yet.

Avoidable pitfalls in China with local team china - Rent-A-Team

Avoidable pitfalls in China

Cultural & language barriers

Diversity is beautiful yet complex.  Something that works in your country might be odd for people in China.  Aside from that, Mandarin, with its many dialects, is a tough language to grasp.

With our local team consisting of members from China and from the west, you can rest assured that you’ll be communicating in the way both you and the Chinese locals understand.

Guan xi:
A currency often
valued more
than the yuan

You can’t buy it.  Can’t see it.  Yet – it opens many doors.  It is essential for the success of businesses in China, yet it remains little known and unattainable to most foreign businesses.

We’re talking about strong interpersonal ties that steer every business interaction in China, also known in China as Guan Xi 关系 (“gwan-shee”).

Business Guan Xi consists of several individual dimensions, such as Gan Qing 感情 (emotional attachment), Ren Qing 人情 (reciprocal favour exchange), and Xin Ren 信任 (trust).

We have a dedicated team member that establishes and nurtures this essential Guan Xi on your behalf.  You get a clear path to options available only to locals.

Myriad of information – what is
truly relevant?

Perhaps you’ve tried to sell in China already, but without the success you were aiming for.  There’s a lot of information on China online, especially regarding selling on China’s e-commerce platforms. It is incredibly hard to decipher what’s relevant to you.

With Rent-A-Team, aside from guidance and strategy, you get a local hands-on team in China that executes.  You don’t have to try it alone anymore and spend valuable resources on trial-and-error.

We do it for you, with you.
