I think the Centre is an invaluable source of experience, especially for new entrants to avoid common mistakes and more generally to get ‘inspired’ from other SMEs, even those operating in totally different sectors. I particularly enjoy reading the case studies for this reason. The EU SME Centre is highly complementary of the chambers of commerce, which provide different services.

We quickly found out that cross-border e-commerce is not as easy as it sounds. Denmark’s regular post services had little experience with this type of logistics and also figuring out the procedures for taxes involved with cross border e-commerce deserve a fair bit of attention before getting into business. Despite much self-study, NI HAO CPH’s incubator in Denmark owes most of its current knowledge on e-commerce in China to the EU SME Centre’s business development team services and advices.

Having a professional looking space to hold meetings in central Beijing is great, and the legal advice and information guides have proved to be really useful at this key point in setting up here.
