您进军新加坡的战略伙伴
Your strategic partner for Singapore expansion
The playbook that built your brand in China — one dominant platform, KOL seeding, speed above all — meets a different market here. Singapore is multilingual, fragmented and trust-driven. We know both sides, because we work both sides.
Why this corridor, now
The CSFTA advantage
The China–Singapore Free Trade Agreement's Further Upgrade Protocol entered into force on 31 December 2024 — better market access and clearer rules for Chinese businesses operating through Singapore.
The money is moving
Chinese direct investment into ASEAN reached US$34.4 billion in 2024, up 36.8% year on year — a record — and Singapore took the largest share of it.
The gateway logic
Six million people is a small market. An entry ticket to ASEAN's eleven markets and 684 million consumers is not. Treat Singapore as the regional base and the numbers work.
What we handle for Chinese SMEs
From ACRA paperwork to first customers.
Entity & compliance
Incorporation, the resident-director requirement, banking, and the licences your sector needs — sequenced so nothing stalls your launch.
Brand localisation
Names, claims and creative checked against a bilingual market before you print anything. A name that sings in Chinese can fall flat — or worse — in Singapore.
Channel rebuild
小红书 and WeChat built your brand at home; here the buyer checks LinkedIn and Google first. We rebuild the acquisition path for how Singapore actually buys.
Cultural navigation
Reading Singaporean politeness correctly, finding the real decision-maker, and pricing for a market that pays for clearly argued value.
