Overview
Support in Guangzhou: factory visits and interpreting
Nothing replaces an on-site visit to build a lasting relationship with a supplier. But without knowing the city, the language and local customs, a business trip to China can easily disappoint.
Before you arrive, we plan a programme together: factories to visit, wholesale markets to explore, trade fairs such as the Canton Fair held in Guangzhou. We book the appointments and organise transport.
On site, a member of our team accompanies you and interprets between French and Chinese. After you leave, we follow up with the suppliers you met: quotes, samples, orders and shipping.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help with the visa?
We do not issue visas, but depending on the case we can help you gather the documents required for a business trip. Contact us to discuss it.
Which languages are used?
We interpret between French and Chinese; English is also possible. You follow every discussion and nothing is agreed without your consent.
Should I come during the Canton Fair?
It is a good opportunity to see many suppliers in little time, but not a must: factories and wholesale markets can be visited all year round.
Can I visit factories outside Guangzhou?
Yes, depending on your sector, some factories are in other cities. We factor this into the programme and travel.
