What types of companies and sourcing agents can hire in China?

A few days ago we came across a very interesting article by Renaud Anjoran, in which he describes with much hit upon the different choices you have an

employer or self-employed at the time of hiring the services of a professional company in China or to facilitate the importation of goods.

According to him, there are three types:

1.Commissionated agent.

SGC Agent is included in this group. The author recommends this option if you have someone trustworthy who has experience in the product line you are

looking for.

In this regard, we are proud to get many of our clients through word of mouth and recommendations made by our old friends to their friends. The advantage of being a sourcing agent is that you have a high level of involvement and can monitor closely the request of our customers.

2.The trading company

Anjoran says this option would be appropriate if you want to shop in small quantities and want to save all the paperwork and details of the production. The

advantage of these companies, according to the author, they can find small factories that are difficult to get for yourself.

3.Third parties service provider

Many of these companies and professionals are often called "project managers", "attorneys" or "managers of the production chain." Usually flexible and adapt

to the budget of each client. Some of them act as traders and shoppers too. The problem, according to the author, is "often not 100% transparent about the" sub-suppliers, "because the string is full of links and it is hard to miss.
