CBBC has been delivering services to British business for 50 years. Over this time we have monitored closely developments in China and the challenges faced by British companies as they strive for success in China. Our depth of knowledge and long experience has resulted in a range of services tailored to the needs of British business in China.

CBBC recognises that every company's needs are individual and therefore our services are designed to offer flexibility whilst assisting you to achieve your objectives efficiently and at cost effective prices.

Our professional business advisory services offer companies impartial guidance on how best to enter the market. This could be through direct exports, or choosing an appropriate form of investment or seeking manufacturing under license arrangements whilst minimising the risk of IPR abuse. Our experienced team of advisers and researchers based in UK and China can offer no-nonsense guidance to set you on the right track, by providing research into potential investment locations, partner identification and competitor analysis.

Companies who want to have a permanent presence in China, but who are not ready for the commitment of a representative office, should talk to us about our incubator scheme - "Launchpad" - where you cover the costs of a local CBBC staff member for an agreed period of time to work on projects specific to developing your business in China. When you are ready to move into your own office, CBBC can guide you through the application process to register your company in China.

CBBC recognises that for companies to truly succeed in China, it is necessary to have support from the top. We offer China briefings for company boards as well as cultural briefings for individuals planning to visit the market. You might want to arrange a marketing seminar in China to promote your products and services to a focused Chinese audience - our offices in China can facilitate this too.

In addition to the advisory and consultancy services, CBBC also offers a wide range of practical support services. We can set up confirmed appointments with targeted companies in advance of company visits to China - our Business Meeting Package. We can also provide translations and appoint interpreters.

We are active sponsors of a range of UK Trade & Investment Sponsored Missions and Seminars, all of which are sector focused. CBBC is also the leading UK organisation providing China business seminars, workshops, networking lunches and meetings with senior visiting delegations from China. We also organise a major China conference every 18 months.

Our services have evolved over time in consultation with business - if our services do not seem to fit your needs, we encourage you to talk to us about bespoke requirements.
