Hello Everyone,
I'm glad I came across this website as it has everything.
My U.S. company is deciding whether obtaining a HK/China business license and setting up a buying office is cost effective.
We're at the stage of researching the wholesale prices of brand name consumer electronics for both HK and Chinese wholesale distributors.This is crucial as we need to look at all the numbers involved so we know all the costs before any investment is made.
It doesnt make financial sense to register for a HK or China business license, etc just to obtain wholesale prices and then find out its not cost effective.
**Does anyone have any ideas or opinions on how to locate business owners with a valid business registration/license in Hong Kong and China in the area of selling electronics or something similar in order for them to obtain wholesale prices on our behalf? In exchange for the compensation, this business person will fill out a wholesale account form as needed by the wholesale distribution company and send the prospective distributor their business registration copy to simply obtain a wholesale price list. We have a HK fax number where the wholesale price, etc list will be sent once its obtained. Once we look at all the wholesale numbers and compare costs we then will proceed ahead. Were willing to fairly compensate for this exchange.
These business owners have to be trustworthy, professional and they need to have a valid business registration/license in Hong Kong & China.
**This is not a time intensive project and its easy money for a business person. There could be additional strategy opportunities for the right person. We will advise what to write on the forms.
We did consider working with an import/export agent but many times these companies are set up as a trading company and the wholesale distribution companies wont provide a wholesale list because they know the products will be exported out of the country.
Thank you and I look forward to your response.
