All over the globe, businesses of every shape and size rely on Chinese suppliers.

They do this for a good reason: anything that bears the ‘Made in China’ tag arrives, finished on your doorstep, cheaper than you could ever dream of producing on your own.

Chinese suppliers are also incredibly hard-working and flexible. They often meet the most demanding delivery timelines, accepting both high and low-volume orders.

However, successfully tapping these opportunities and finding the right Chinese manufacturer can be daunting for newcomers.

‘We help entrepreneurs through every stage of this process,’ says Stanbic Bank Head of Trade & Africa-China Banking, Akofang Kebonye. 

He says that Stanbic Bank has built a database of over 10,000 reputable factories in China, dramatically reducing the search costs associated with finding the right manufacturing partner for your business.  

‘We help our clients to build long-term relationships with suppliers who will adhere to the terms of agreement, delivering the quality of goods you expect. No surprises,’ he explains.

‘The beauty of doing business in China is that price negotiation is almost always on the table. We can assist in this area. When there is room for better terms, it means a healthier profit margin for you.’

‘Shipping, logistics and customs clearance can be an unexpected source of stress and expense. With ACTS, you can focus on running your business, knowing that all your paperwork is in order.’

‘There is no need to travel to China,’ he smiles. ‘We got this.’
