chinaonramp-mike
Add by ID. Useful for partner-firm intros and quick clarifications.
What to include in your first message
- Where you're based and which entity you operate from now (US LLC, EU GmbH, HK Ltd, etc.).
- Why you're moving into China this year — selling, hiring, invoicing, or all three.
- What you've already tried (or read on competitor agency pages — Mike knows them).
- Anything that already feels stuck.
When NOT to email
- You want a free 2-hour audit but won't pay if Mike recommends action.
- You want to debate whether China is worth entering at all (find a strategy consultant instead).
- You're solely after the lowest possible price and don't care who executes (find a Fiverr listing).
Frequently asked questions
Will I get an SDR or sales rep?
No. Every inquiry routes to Mike directly. If the question is partner-firm-specific (e.g. legal opinion on a Shanghai-District AIC quirk) Mike loops the relevant partner into the thread with attribution.
Do you take calls in Chinese?
Mike works in English. Partner firms cover Mandarin, Cantonese, and the major China-business legal English. Calls with partners use a Tencent Meeting or Zoom bridge.
What if my question is too small to be worth your time?
Mike replies to every well-formed inquiry. If it's a 5-minute question answered by an existing guide, you get the link. Free.
Who actually does the work?
A named partner firm in Shanghai, Shenzhen, or Beijing executes the filing. Mike brokers the engagement, holds the timeline, and intervenes if the partner stalls. You can see partner names on each service page.
How long does this typically take?
It depends on the filing and the city. Each service page publishes a realistic end-to-end timeline with both best-case and worst-case ranges. We never quote 'fastest possible' to win an engagement.
What if my filing is rejected?
Rejection is common on first submission. The brokerage fee covers one resubmission cycle. If a rejection is the partner firm's error, the partner re-files at no extra charge.
Do you charge a retainer?
No. Every service has a quoted per-filing or per-month price. You pay only for what you commission.
