A series of videos focusing on the key steps that exporters need to consider when looking to internationalise their business. This includes looking at finance, documentation, a marketing strategy, agents and distributors and intellectual property. The videos feature expert contributions from HMRC, Lloyds TSB, HSBC and the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).
This video is one of a 20 part series on China's regional cities. Each video shows the size and scale of the city, its overall attractiveness as a place to live and work, and introduces potential business opportunities.
Until now, UK business interest in China has been focused on a few large established cities on or near the coast. However, these markets are maturing, competition is intensifying and costs are increasing. As a consequence companies are considering alternative locations for business expansion and development. Regional cities are fast becoming the target for local and foreign investment. The rapid rate of urbanisation, expansion and economic growth of these cities offers considerable opportunities across a wide range of industrial sectors and business activities.
For more information on doing business in China, see also our seven part 'Breaking the Barriers ' series, which introduces some of the business challenges faced by UK companies in China.
