  • China Market Research

  • China Investment Feasibility Studies

China Investment Strategy Research, Development and Deployment

Western companies investing in China often place business structure and/or location above a coherent plan for developing their interests in China. Subsequently, companies find any plans they may have for the future or sudden opportunities thwarted by constraints placed on them by tactics without context. SRA works with companies to help companies think and plan beyond expedients in China. SRA identifies client competitors, joint venture partners, M&A targets, supply lines, logistics capabilities, staffing levels, talent requirements and government administrative thresholds so clients can choose locations in China that promote their interests - not stop them short. 

 

 

       

China Market Research

Market Research in China requires at least three verifiable sources for information to be considered "fact" in this nascent economy. Certainly, there is information gained through internet research, which any company with the time and resources can do; and then there are local Chinese government sources for information; and then local China-industry contacts. Silk Road Advisors excels at getting at the local sources of information that Western companies through their own auspices may have neither the time, expertise nor know-how on their own to achieve. Market reports from Silk Road Advisors are current, fact-driven, and developed with an eye to local detail, concluded with a sense of how the dynamism of the entire China market will affect an industry's future and a company's investment.

 

China Investment Feasibility Studies

Silk Road Advisors reduces the cost and time involved in choosing an appropriate business structure through which companies enter China. What business model is right for your company as it considers its China market-entry strategy: a Joint Venture (JV), Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), or a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE)? Is an Offshore Holding Company the right financial structure for your business?

 

JVs, M&A, WOFEs all have their advantages and disadvantages depending on the industry, product line, mix of import vs. export quotas, international- and China-competition.

 

Silk Road Advisors staff analyze a company's requirements within the context of the international marketplace and the dynamic China market to understand and communicate to companies the feasibility of their investment projects in China.

 

China Joint Venture and M&A Identification, Strategy and Support

Silk Road Advisors  senior staff identify and qualify China JV and M&A targets for industrial and private equity investments. SRA also supports negotiations between Western companies and potential joint venture partners in China.
