Tell me where you want to go and what you need to find out. We will work through the locations, timing, local support, and travel scope together.

Some sourcing questions need a specialist. I can help coordinate introductions and project information for:

• Intellectual-property and commercial legal counsel.
• China and Hong Kong company-setup providers.
• Technical document translation.
• Local recruitment, workspace, and employment-administration providers.
• Brand-monitoring services.
• Supplier payment-administration and import-financing providers.

Specialist advice and services are delivered by the relevant providers under their own agreed terms. Availability depends on the project and provider.

Yes. You may need a second opinion, comparison quotes, a factory evaluation, help with a production problem, or a clearer plan with your existing supplier. Replacing the factory is not the starting assumption.

Tell me what you have found and what you have verified. Where a supplier was discovered is one part of the story. Its fit with your product, requirements, and business is what we need to understand.

That is something we can discuss. Share the location, purpose, and timing. My attendance, local support, itinerary, travel costs, and fees need to be agreed before a trip is booked.

We can scope a quotation comparison while you continue your current supplier relationship. Useful comparisons need a consistent brief, including specifications, quantities, materials, quality expectations, and relevant commercial terms.

Not for an initial discussion. Your stage determines the next step. An early concept may need assessment or design work before suppliers can provide useful production quotes.

Yes, for the agreed advisory and coordination work. Engineering, inspections, testing, legal advice, and other specialist activities are performed by the appropriate providers.

China is an important part of my sourcing experience and the partner capabilities described here. If your project points elsewhere, tell me what you need and I will assess whether I can help or make a useful introduction.
