China is known as the “World’s Factory” because of the low production costs in the country. Many business people and individuals have realized the benefits of outsourcing from China, but there are still many barriers to finding the proper sourcing channels. Here is a simplified way of finding the right agency for your outsourcing needs. Experience and Expertise When looking for a China sourcing agency, never focus on the years of operation, but also their level of knowledge regarding the critical processes. The agency should be aware of particularities that would arise in the transaction. Confirm whether their area of specialization serves your needs. The agent’s expertise matching your niche offers you a quick and precise sourcing process. Proficiency in Language Before you settle on a sourcing agent, you need to confirm whether they will understand you or not. If your preferred language is English, try to find an agent who understands both spoken and written English. If you prefer any other language besides the commonly used ones, try and find one who speaks
it. With multiple languages being spoken in China, an agent who can understand simplifies the negotiations process. Location of the Agency If you are particular about what you need, you can get a China sourcing agency where suppliers and manufacturers are located within the specific location. Settling for an agency in the same region as the product manufacturers, you save on time, travel, and transportation expenses. Luckily, manufacturing zones in China are grouped into clusters so you can quickly identify the location where your desired products are specifically processed. Licenses and certification Working with a licensed agency assures you of safety and that you are not doing anything illegal. Before doing business, confirm whether they are licensed and whether you are protected in case of unanticipated occasions. It is equally necessary to check the proof for previous transactions to see if reputable clients have worked with the company.
The credibility of the agency A credible China sourcing agency should have good work relations with existing suppliers and manufacturers, and they can suggest a good dealer for your required products. A reasonable sourcing agent should give accurate recommendations and has their information on google and similar platforms for sourcing agents. Social media presence can also signify a company's credibility, and if you are satisfied with the results, you can go ahead and contact them. Transparency in business A reliable China sourcing agency will not shy away from being transparent in all the transaction aspects. A good agent will not bribe suppliers or charge extra commission without consulting with your first. When dealing with a sourcing agent, be open about your values on transparency and the type of information you are willing to share. Once you have settled on pricing and logistics, the agent should commit to it. If sourcing goods from China is the best option for your business, there are many other things to consider besides finding the right agency. You also need to find quality products at reasonable prices and timely delivery to grow your business.
