Straight talk, no jargon
We skip the corporate buzzwords. You get clear reports on where your goods are stuck and why.
Real boots on the ground
We don't just email; we visit the factories and warehouses in Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok ourselves.
Zero hidden commissions
Unlike brokers, we don't take kickbacks from factories. Our only fee is the one we agree on Day 1.
Practical ways we help you expand
We focus on the logistics and legal barriers that keep medium-sized businesses from growing in Asia.
Logistics & Supply Chain Audit
We look at your current shipping routes from Europe to Asia. Our team identifies where you are overpaying for freight and where your goods are getting stuck in customs. Most clients find they can save at least 11% on their quarterly shipping costs after our first review. We don't just give you a report; we talk to the carriers for you. This service usually takes 3 weeks to complete.
Local Law & Compliance Review
Entering a new market means new rules. We analyze local legislation in Vietnam and Thailand to ensure your products meet all standards. We check labeling requirements, tax filings, and import permits. This stops you from getting hit with unexpected fines later on. We have helped 32 firms navigate these laws in the last year alone. Our goal is to make sure your business stays on the right side of local authorities.
Key Partner Selection
Finding a factory or distributor in Asia is easy, but finding one that keeps their word is hard. We use our local network to vet potential partners. We check their bank records, visit their offices, and talk to their existing clients. You get a shortlist of three partners who are actually ready to work. This prevents the common mistake of signing with the first person who emails you back. We handle the initial introductions too.
Market Entry Roadmap
A simple, 12-page plan on how to launch your business in Asia. We map out the first 90 days, including who to hire, where to store stock, and which banks to use. This isn't a 200-page corporate book that sits on a shelf. It is a practical list of tasks with dates and costs. We focus on the most profitable route for mid-sized firms. You will know exactly what your budget needs to be before you spend a penny.
BY THE NUMBERS
Actual results for UK manufacturers
