Validated China mar­ket entry. No cure, no pay

We will start your business in China

The expensive mistake in China is not choosing the wrong entry model. It is committing to one before you know whether the case is there

Do buyers exist at your price? Will a channel carry you on terms you can live with? These are questions with in-market answers - and you can get them for a fraction of the cost of a full market entry.

Start with validation

The steps that determine outcome

A real opportunity

China is a major commercial opportunity for SMEs. Opportunity is real and well-documented. But an opportunity does not guarantee a sale.

Fail fast

Whether your product works in China is a different question - and the answers do not transfer from other markets. Many companies face this question only after they have committed serious capital - when the cost of being wrong is highest.
Check your readiness

Step by step

Shaeps' staged entry model works differently: set up the minimum presence needed to test the case in-market. Confirm what works before you invest major resources in the market.
