Open a dedicated officeWhatsApp

Past a certain volume there are only two routes: open a buying office in China, or rent one.

  • Opening means an entity, salaries, a lease, and a year before anything works.
  • The dedicated office gives you the same capacity from the first month: a team assigned to your products, travelling as often as needed and reporting every week.
What you receive
  • A named team, assigned to your products, that you contact directly.
  • A written weekly report: orders, production, prices, incidents, decisions.
  • Factory visits and inspections without limit, with photographic and video reports.
  • Your products followed with no cap on the number of lines.
  • Our presence beside you at trade fairs, to filter stands and negotiate on the spot.
Included
  • A team assigned to your house, introduced by name.
  • An unlimited number of products followed, factory visits and inspections, in China.
  • Trade fair attendance beside you, with stands shortlisted before you arrive.
  • Price and terms negotiation with your factories, continuously.
  • The written weekly report, and a dedicated contact you can reach.
Not included
  • What the factories charge for goods, and carriage, rebilled at cost.
  • Travel outside China and trade fair entry fees, rebilled at cost.
  • Regulatory and technical studies, which remain separate services.
What you send us
  • The scope of your buying: product families, annual volumes, seasonality.
  • A list of your current suppliers and the state of your open orders.
  • The name of your single contact, so the team never receives conflicting instructions.

When it applies

  • You buy all year across several product families and simple follow-up no longer covers it.
  • You are considering a buying office in China and want to measure the real need first.
  • You attend trade fairs and lose days filtering stands nobody shortlisted for you.

Who carries it out

A team assigned to your house: our Chinese-speaking team in Guangzhou on the ground, a dedicated Sorva contact as your single point of contact. Everything reported in English.

Frequently asked

01How does this differ from monthly management?
Monthly management runs a buying programme with two inspections included each month. The dedicated office removes the limits: unlimited products, visits and inspections, trade fair attendance, and a report every week.
02Unlimited, with no cap at all?
No cap on numbers, within the buying scope agreed at handover. Travel outside China and trade fair entry fees are rebilled at cost; the team’s time is included.
03Do we need an entity in China?
No. Sorva invoices from France, with its Guangzhou subsidiary for the ground work. You open nothing, you hire nobody, and you carry no Chinese employment contract.
04And for something larger still?
For a bespoke programme, our /tarifs page sets out Sorva’s other framework: an initial pack, a monthly fee and a commission on purchases. The dedicated office stays at a fixed price.

Large programmes stay bespoke

A continuous buying programme, a large volume or an unusual arrangement will not fit into a box. The pricing page carries the initial pack, the monthly retainer and the success fee.
