Purchasing from the right factories in China - Rent-A-Team

Avoidable pitfalls in China

Many start from Alibaba or Google.
There’s a better way

Many companies struggle to communicate with vendors from China because many of them don’t speak much English.  The prices you see published online are fabricated prices to entice you into enquiring.  And the quality oftentimes goes way below your expectations and standards… Leaving you frustrated and in delivery troubles.

You don’t have to go through this hassle.

Handpicked does the pre-vetting for you, ensuring that we are only ordering from legit businesses (SGS audited and verified suppliers) and have the right capabilities. On top of that, if you wish to run stress-free operations, we handle the entire tedious procurement process, from project management to overseeing timeline and quality delivery.

An unguided process is one filled
with unexpected hiccups

Sourcing and managing procurements from China on your own is absolutely possible… but not without unexpected hiccups as you might have already experienced.  Due to the lack of experience, local resources and know-how, it is a challenge to solve problems effectively as they arise, let alone anticipate and prevent them.

With our Purchasing Solutions, you’ll get an experienced team on the ground that:

  • takes time to understand your business and your requirements
  • communicates with you in the way you’re familiar with, and with Chinese suppliers in a way that they can fully comprehend
  • clears the path to the best price-quality ratio by using our established network, negotiation tactics, and local guanxi (social capital)
  • removes the roadblocks, constantly follows up and prevents foreseeable pitfalls

Is Rent-A-Team for me?Get my personalized assessment

Success of businesses in China - Rent-A-Team

Guan xi:
A currency often
valued more
than the yuan

You can’t buy it.  Can’t see it.  Yet – it opens many doors.  It is essential for the success of businesses in China, yet it remains little known and unattainable to most foreign businesses.

We’re talking about strong interpersonal ties that steer every business interaction in China, also known in China as Guan Xi 关系 (“gwan-shee”).

Business Guan Xi consists of several individual dimensions, such as Gan Qing 感情 (emotional attachment), Ren Qing 人情 (reciprocal favour exchange), and Xin Ren 信任 (trust).

We have a dedicated team member that establishes and nurtures this essential Guan Xi on your behalf.  You get a clear path to options available only to locals.
