Flying into China for business? Don’t waste a single day.
Built for busy business people who don’t want to waste time figuring out China. We prepare an airtight itinerary which includes wholesale markets matched to your niche, factories pre-vetted before you land, and a bilingual team beside you the whole way.
Most business people lose money in China before they ever land a real supplier.
You land jet-lagged. Day 1 disappears figuring out which market to even visit. A taxi driver becomes your “guide.” You walk into a fancy showroom thinking it's a factory, not knowing it's a trading company adding 30% or more. Or you lean on roadside agents who quietly mark up every quote.
You negotiate in English; the seller uses the language barrier as a weapon. You finally pay for goods. What arrives in Lagos doesn't match what you ordered, and your “factory contact” stops replying.
We've watched this exact story play out for 10 years. And the reason it keeps happening isn't that you're bad at business. It's that everybody in China sourcing is built to gatekeep: agents, middlemen, “consultants.” Their business is keeping you in the dark. Ours is the opposite. We built the Sourcing Mission so the network, the team, and the playbook are already on your side before your plane lands.
This is what the Mission looks like.

Here’s what a typical Mission looks like. Your final itinerary is built around your niche.
This is a sample. Your real itinerary depends on what you source. We work it out together on the intake call.
We know your niche.
10 years sourcing across categories. We know which market, which city, which factory cluster fits what you import.
Don’t see your niche? Book a call and we’ll talk it through.
We go where your niche lives.
Not every product is sourced from Guangzhou. Phone accessories live in Shenzhen. Furniture lives in Foshan. Electronics and tools spread across the Pearl River Delta. Wherever your niche is, we go there with you.
The Mission covers any city in the Pearl River Delta, at no extra cost.
Guangzhou
Textiles, beauty, packaging, household
Foshan
Furniture, ceramics, building materials
Shenzhen
Electronics, phone accessories, gadgets
Dongguan
Factories of every kind
Mission Plus add-on
Some niches, like small commodities, Christmas goods, and heavy textiles, pull us to Yiwu or Shaoxing. For those, we offer the Mission Plus add-on: an extra travel day, train tickets for you and your handler, and an extra night's accommodation handled.
We'll tell you upfront on your intake call whether your niche needs the upgrade. No surprises.
We run your full China supply chain.
Over the last decade we’ve procured products and handled manufacturing across every niche on this page, from textiles in Guangzhou to electronics in Shenzhen. The Mission is one entry point. After it, we can run procurement, OEM production, quality control, and shipping for you, end to end.
Procurement
Source any product, in any quantity, across every niche we’ve worked. Verified suppliers, fair pricing, no middleman markup.
Manufacturing & OEM
Custom production runs with our verified factory network. Specs, samples, packaging, and branding handled end to end.
Quality Control
Pre-shipment inspection at the factory before goods leave. What you ordered is what gets shipped.
Shipping & Customs
Sea or air freight, consolidation at our Guangzhou office, customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery to Lagos or beyond.
What the mission fee does not cover.
We believe in plain English. Here’s exactly what you’ll cover yourself.
- Your flight to China
- Your hotel and meals
- Visa application and fees
- Cost of product samples (paid directly to suppliers)
- Shipping costs for samples or first orders
- Cash for purchases at markets
We can recommend hotels, help with visa invitation letters, and handle sample shipping at additional cost. Just ask.
Ready when you are.
