China; An Ally For The Budding Business?

Submitted by: Muneer Al-Busaidi

With all the recent unfavored public relations with regards to China you will be forgiven for thinking that this would lead to a decline in businesses seeking to venture out and globalize using the assistance of the government and its favorable economical climate. Quite the contrary is apparent however, despite the cries of various groups, many businesses from small to large including your average home based business are lining up to fill out the necessary forms in order to initiate the start of their business relationships with China.

Many would say that it is possible they are hoping to get an advantage over their competitors or possibly benefit from businesses shying away from the negative publicity and that would possibly pull out of the Chinese market in order to reestablish themselves in America or to explore other third world countries, where labor costs are found to be extremely low cost and governmental buerocracy can be somewhat circumvented using a bit of palm grease.

There are not many that doubt the economy of China will not only persevere through the recall related backlash but actually flourish! This is likely to create a new middle class hungry for products and services that many of the consumers in the United States take for granted but which until fairly recently were thought of a luxuries in China – more often than not, unattainable to the everyday citizen. This is especially true with the younger generation of consumers now hungering for those products offered by foreign companies. Companies that have decided to relocate manufacturing venues offshore have realized that they can save even more money on import tarrifs by selling off its products to locals which also turns them a good profit.

If you feel that as a company you are ready to take that step over the seas and into China, it is imperative to do your research prior to your move! Being a small company will have its advantages in terms of rapid decisions without the need for the approval of shareholders and voting processes. In addition to this, the lack of governmental regulations that befall American companies in order to protect the workers and environment can be an advantage. Nonetheless be aware that you be the subject of extreme scrutiny when considering the tax obligations your business would have. The IRS in America may be known for its tenacity when it comes to the tax process, however they have much to learn from their Chinese counterparts whom are extremely ruthless when it comes to collecting business taxes due to be paid to them.

Understanding all requirements such as tax codes and what is expected of you from the Chinese authorities would only serve to ease the way allowing you to avoid overpaying and fall into the pitfalls that less researched businesses have succumb to. Let us not forget adherence to regulations and laws put in place by those in power. This will explain the reason many overseas businesses coming into the country choose a Chinese counterpart that can handle this aspect of things effectively for them. Therefore despite the seemingly welcome environment for a business, not realizing the reality of seeking local assistance can slow down your seemingly well oiled machine and grind your ambitions to an unhealthy pace.
