To mark this year’s European SME Week, the EU SME Centre is inviting you to a five-part webinar series dedicated to preparing your business for entry to the Chinese market. We have selected the most essential questions raised by you over the course of the past year and invited industry experts to discuss them online.
Part 2 of the series gives tips on how best to protect against common scams when doing business in China and what legal tools and information are available to spare your business painful surprises from contracting the wrong business partner. How can you find a suitable business partner? How can you be sure that they are reliable? You concluded a contract but only later found out that your business partner could not fulfil its obligations because it did not have a necessary licence or provided you with wrong information? Your partner does not reply to your mails? If you’ve ever faced any of these issues when doing business in China, join this webinar and learn:
- how to minimise the risk of falling for an unreliable business partner;
- how to identify irregularities in business partner behaviour;
- how to assess your business partner’s legal status, financial health and operational situation.
Attendance is free for EU SMEs and intermediaries such as chambers of commerce, embassies and trade promotion agencies. After registration you will receive an email containing technical information on how to join the webinar.
