Company searches Surveillance and investigation |
When going into business
in a new market, it’s often essential to work with a local partner. But how can you be sure that your partner
is everything it claims to be? Can it
do everything it claims it can do to help you succeed in your new
market? Or will its managers run away
with your investment? |

|
When entering a new market
and going into business with an unfamiliar partner, there is always a risk
that the local partner may be dishonest or incompetent. Stories abound of foreign investors,
especially in China, going into business with “companies” that did not exist,
and finding out their mistake only after their local partners had disappeared
with their money. |

|
More commonly, potential
business partners exaggerate their strength and their abilities. Many foreign investors have gone into
business with local partners only to find that the partners don’t have the
licences they need to enter into their proposed deal; they don’t have the
resources to fulfil their obligations; they are in financial trouble; or the
people who claimed to be fronting the deal were not in a position to make
promises on behalf of the company. Foreign investors seeking
acquisition targets can make the same mistakes, wasting money on the purchase
of companies which cannot add anything to their operations. Investors can avoid these
mistakes by checking the background of their potential business partners
before making their investments. But
many investors fail to make even the most basic checks. |

Foreigners investing in Asia,
and especially in China, seem to think that it is difficult, expensive or
impossible to find any information on the company’s structure, ownership,
operations, reputation, or anything else.
However, Sinogie can provide you with the information you need. Our company searches can
also help you identify and take action against companies which are infringing
your intellectual property. |
