Illustrative data, not real company information01 Typical needs
Needs like these, we can help you find
A few common examples are below. If your situation is different, that's fine: tell us first.
Agency or distribution
“I sell automation equipment in Malaysia and want to represent a Chinese collaborative-robot brand.”
We look for: brands with an overseas agency policy and Southeast Asia still open, and confirm demo units, training and after-sales support.
Suppliers and factories
“We are a private-label brand in Singapore and need an electronics factory that can do small-batch customisation.”
We look for: factories that accept small orders, have made similar products and have export and certification experience, and confirm they are factories, not traders.
Technology and project partnerships
“We are a systems integrator in Korea looking for a machine-vision provider that can localise and customise.”
We look for: technology companies with real deployments that are willing to customise and localise, and clarify how cooperation would work.
Investment and industrial cooperation
“We are an investment firm and want to look at embodied-AI projects in the Greater Bay Area.”
We look for: companies in the right field that are raising funds or seeking partners, and summarise team, product and stage.
02 Why us
Searching online yourself vs. letting us search
| What matters | Searching online yourself | Letting us search |
|---|---|---|
| Is the company real? | Platform data is hard to verify; some traders present themselves as factories | We verify business registration and operating status, and confirm factory or trader |
| Can you get clear terms? | Emails across time zones and languages; slow, inconsistent replies | We call each company in Chinese to confirm intent, MOQ and price range |
| How long does it take? | Screen dozens yourself and wait for each reply | Usually 7–10 working days after you confirm the quote |
| Risk | You have to check risk signals yourself | The report states business-registration, legal and operating risk signals |
| What you end up with | A pile of contacts and scattered quotes | A matching report in ranked order, with next-step advice |

Quoted by number of companies and difficulty
There is no fixed price. After our call, we first assess how many companies to find and how hard they are to find, then send you a written quote.
First: how many companies
Calculated by the number of candidate companies you need. To start small, begin with 5; to compare more, we find more.
Second: how hard it is to find
- Standard: Common product, many suppliers, clear specifications
- Harder: Niche category, or hard requirements on certification, MOQ or region
- Specialised: Emerging technologies or specific company types, needing several rounds to confirm intent
The quote states how many companies and when they will be delivered
Work starts only after you confirm the quote
If we find fewer companies than agreed, the difference is refunded
Later meetings and visits are quoted separately; whether to go ahead is up to you

Frequently asked questions
Can this be done without coming to China?
Yes. This service is fully online: the call, delivery and walkthrough all happen by video and email, so you don't need to leave your country.
Can you guarantee a suitable company?
Whether a deal happens depends on you and the company. What we guarantee: every company in the report has been verified and asked about its intent; if we find fewer than agreed, the difference is refunded.
Will the list favour companies you work with?
No. The list is ranked only by your criteria and the companies' actual situation; if a company has a business relationship with us, the report says so.
Will my request be kept confidential?
Yes. When contacting candidates we share only the necessary information about your need, and we sign a confidentiality agreement with you before starting.
How soon will I get the report?
Usually 7–10 working days after you confirm the quote. For harder projects, the delivery time is stated in the quote.
How do I pay?
Payment is made after the quote is confirmed and the contract is signed. Bank transfer, PayPal and credit card are the intended options; the method is confirmed with your quote.
