Our offer
The China Better Business Bureau, was founded to protect those persons or corporate entities wishing to do business in China, focused on advancing marketplace trust in China, the "workshop of the world", and one of the fastest growing economies on the planet. Corporate Due Diligence – One-stop-shop full service research and corporate examination of companies you are considering doing business with. Corporate due diligence is crucial to any business deal, and, thankfully, due diligence research has come a long way over the years. What used to be a cumbersome, time-consuming process has been standardized and systematized with generally accepted auditing frameworks and tools, such as the all-important auditing "checklists." But when it comes to performing due diligence in China, with its opaque regulatory system and byzantine accounting standards, all bets are off. Our China-specific due diligence strategies, tools and techniques go beyond what is typically part of the process. China Better Business Bureau works at identifying businesses who engage in fraudulent, illegal or other activities that violate state or federal laws or regulations of the People’s Republic of China. China Better Business Bureau will provide information to investigators that will assist in both the identification and prosecution of individuals engaged in such activities. To request more information on this service or for information on specific businesses, contact our Investigative services here.
