Acquiring a company anywhere, executing the transaction, transitioning management and integrating operations is challenging anywhere in the world.

In China, it is made more challenging due to many issues including:

  • China’s developing and different legal/approval system
  • China’s less sophisticated industrial base
  • Inconsistent and less transparent financial reporting
  • Language and cultural differences…
China Centric’s executives have engaged in executing and operating acquisitions and JV’s in China for the last two decades.

China Centric applies this experience in negotiating, executing and then operating acquired businesses to clients’ requirements in six types of project tasks:

Custom Market Research

  • Profiling target market attributes, identifying participants and key industry or market  trends in China as a foundation to informed acquisition decisions

Pre-LOI Commercial Negotiations

  • In-country, common-language and culturally-sensitive negotiation with existing ownership to assure linkage of interests, objectives and expectations prior to a transaction to maximize the potential for a successful outcome

Operational Due Diligence

  • Complementing financial and legal due diligence, an in-depth profile and assessment of all operating functions and personnel in a SWOT format to identify risks and weaknesses
In-country Transactional Bandwidth
  • Acquisitions often require in-country entity establishment to buy assets, recruiting new management and a wide range of acquisition preparation and operational set-up activities that can only be effectively accomplished from an in-country base of execution
  • China Centric provides experienced in-country capabilities to expedite the necessary local actions to get deals done
Post-closing Integration Projects
  • When due diligence identifies weaknesses in the acquired company that need to be resolved, China Centric applies our broad experience and project capabilities to fill the gaps with custom problem-focused initiatives to strengthen operational or management capabilities.
