FEASIBILITY STUDY  /  STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT
Feasibility Study:  Market (size & trend), Channel (distribution, end customers), Competition (price, product), Suppliers (material, machines, labor), Government (regulations).
Strategic Assessment: We compile the above information and provide actionable steps to create a defendable position.

DIFFERENTIATION: We develop an actionable plan based on a clearly defined positioning and differentiation statement.

START UP ASSISTANCE
We work together with clients to start up manufacturing operations or commercial activities in China. We advice on the best incorporation model and find the most suitable location. We also follow through with government licensing and administration matters, as well as recruiting of key employees or business partners.

DIFFERENTIATION: Our Site Evaluation requires strategically prioritizing Sales (Customers/Service Network) vs. Suppliers (Cost/Capability). Tactics then include the evaluation of rental, logistics, white and blue collar costs, licensing and recruiting.

BUSINESS INCUBATOR OFFICE (BIO)
We recruit and administratively manage employees that are dedicated to your business and managed by your team overseas until you have the scale in China to open your own office.

DIFFERENTIATION:  We don’t just rent a desk. Our BIO is different than other office support programs as we actively engage in the operations of the clients business and management of their personnel to ensure that their business is growing and on a trajectory to stand on its own in 1 to 3 years.

After decades of growth,  the current Chinese economic situation has resulted in the majority of foreign businesses reevaluating their Chinese operations. In a number of cases, underperforming foreign businesses are choosing to exit the Chinese market altogether.

Chinese business exits are complex, costly and time consuming. Severance costs, employee lawsuits, government approvals, uncovering of potential FCPA violations, and discontinuation of business with the Chinese entity of a key customer in your home country, can all make the exit process daunting.

For those set on exiting, Lancaster can offer a lower cost, faster and less ambiguous alternative to closing down. This involves the sale of the foreign owned Chinese business to Lancaster, and / or one of our partner firms.
