Our CNMI Market Scan online proposal is an exploratory research that highlights your chances and opportunities on the Chinese market. It contains at least the following information:

• Market / industry overview
  We analyze economic data and statistics to give you a macro perspective of your specific industry or targeted market in China. We tell you how it did in the past, how it is doing now, and how it is predicted to do in the future. Details included in this section are Chinese imports or exports reliance, number of enterprises, profit margins, and industry clustering, among others.
• Consumer / partner analysis
  We will narrow down our research and identify who your customers in China are most likely to be, and how they go about their business. Who do they currently purchase from? What will they be expecting from you? It provides you with the necessary information to focus your efforts when looking for customers in China. If you are looking for suppliers or partners, we will investigate which market segment is of prime interest to you, and why businesses would be interested (or not) in dealing with you.
• Competition analysis
  Chances of getting first-mover advantage in China are often long gone. But look at it this way: that means someone else already bore the brunt of all the risks associated. Now you need to find out what the competition is doing. Who are the big players in your market or industry? How are they doing? Is there anything you can learn from their previous experiences? More importantly, if you are to compete with them, what will you compete on? We will point out to you where the pressure will be, and whether you need to be worried - and who about.
• Channels of distribution
  How will you reach your customers if you have something to sell, and how will you be dealing with your partners and suppliers? Sometimes, using a middleman seems unavoidable - but it can be. We will advise you on the possible avenues that lie open to you in actively pursuing your business.
• Rules & regulations
  Advised by our legal partners, we can tell you what to expect when you start your business in China: tariffs, VAT, quotas, and taxes. We will tell you which is the case for your product or service specifically, and whether there are government subsidies or encouraged activities that you can benefit from.
• Entry mode advisory
  It's easy to be lured into a Joint Venture agreement, but it's not always wise. We offer advice on the best way to get your foot in the door - without hurting it!

Most importantly, we do not just describe the above information: depending on the information that you provide us with, we go out of our way to make it match so that our report is as relevant to you as can be. At the end of each chapter, we provide clear recommendations on what it is we think you should be considering.
