Everyone of us is talking about business development in China, but how to build our own brand and promote it thoroughly is a big problem. This time we will share a BUD successful story about a traditional dried seafood shop in Hong Kong. Mr Chan is the third generation of a dried seafood shop in Sheung Wan, he has his own factory and retail points. Not only a renowned brand, but also an abundant business network the shop has got. After years of good experience, he observed the bottleneck of the business development. Obviously, extension to mainland China seems to be a natural choice.

Success in Hong Kong to China
However, it is not easy for a native Hong Kong citizen to adopt the life in China. Different commercial environment, regulation and lifestyle make Mr Chan confused at the very beginning. Certainly, the business in Hong Kong is the root of growth, but it is also inappropriate to copy everything in Hong Kong to the new business in China. So Mr Chan found a business consultant specialized in mainland to help series of action, brand localization, location seeking, business establishment and all means marketing. The consultant provided a business plan dedicated to the industry. And the good news is the BUD Fund Type (i) grant helps the cashflow a lot.
Local talent and resource
Once the consultant gave the final report, Mr Chan decided to go ahead for the business in mainland China. All of us, as a businessman, knows that talent is everything. Fortunately, the BUD Fund can sponsor staffing and other common BUD items such as brand design, online marketing and automating machines etc. The Hong Kong company can have a local business with local talent and resource.
