We like to be honest with our clients here at CNMI, so the first thing we tell them is this: if you're thinking of expanding into China, think again.

We're certainly not looking to discourage our clients from entering China, but they must have a plan. Before you figure out how to start in China, you need to know why. It could be the most profitable decision your business has ever made, but there's no such thing as a free lunch. Great rewards come with great risks; and that's where we come in.

At CNMI, we help you minimize that risk. That means we're not going to charge you thousands of dollars for a month-long project to tell you what you want to hear. Minimizing our clients' risk starts with minimizing their resource commitment. For this purpose, we can provide you with a low-cost and efficient China Market Scan that provides you with the information you need to start making your business in China a reality and a success.


Online Research Proposal

More and more firms, especially in the SME sector, are looking towards China as a market that is rapidly becoming more accessible for them. There is nothing more frustrating than having identified an opportunity but being unable to act on it due to a knowledge deficit, and a perceived lack of resources needed to solve it. To reach out to all the budding China entrepreneurs, we provide market research services that can be arranged entirely online. This enables us to reduce costs by an incredibly large amount because it does away with many of the non-value added activities that may precede a more traditional research.

We have designed a pre-made information form that, when completed, provides us with the information we need to engage in an exploratory research of the Chinese market with regards to your industry or sector. This resulting report provides you with essential information on your product or service market / industry in China, channels of distribution, important rules & regulations, as well as a profile of who your potential customers / suppliers and competitors will be. The report will conclude with a long list of recommendations that state very clearly what we at CNMI think you should and should not do when expanding or starting your business in China.

So, if our researchers conclude that China has little to offer for your business: so be it. We are not selling China (as much as we like it here), but we're here to tell you how it works. Your loss will be the small investment of €250 that it currently costs to order our CNMI Market Scan online. Your gains, on the other hand, will be a collection of insights into the Chinese market that you can't put a price on.

Offline Research Proposal

Of course, chances are that our online proposal does not cover the exact information that you are looking for, for example because you are already experienced in the Chinese market, or because you are looking to commit to a larger and more in-depth research. Whatever the case may be, if it's market research in China that you are looking for, we have the capacity and capability to provide you with a one-stop solution.
