China Advisory Services

Industry: Education Services

A UK-based provider of international education services with limited experience in China required snapshot research to establish market entry requirements from a regulatory perspective. The challenge for this provider was to find out how difficult it would be to obtain a license for establishing a school for foreign students in Shanghai.

Our approach:

• Understand the client's situation.
• Telephone and face to face discussions with city, provincial and state level government representatives to establish likelihood that Chinese government would lift restrictions on foreign entrants in this market
• Summary of findings and recommendation for the client

Result:

• Fast decision making for the client, allowed by accurate market picture backed up by thorough and widespread approaches to key government officials by a neutral source.
