NiHaoOuZho – Promoting Ethics and
Business Values in China
Ethics in business - buying the right
company
NiHaoOuZho are at the
forefront of promoting strong ethics and business values when
forging commercial links between China and Europe. Over 20
years’ experience of working at the sharp end of business in
both China and Europe has given us the expertise to help your
company in this area. Business ethics are not quite the same
in Europe and China, and even different EU member states have
different ethics – your business needs to be aware of
this.
As a further help, we keep
this site regularly updated with the latest international
business news and information, so that you can make
well-informed business decisions with our help.
Forging ethical links between China and
Europe
First of all, we provide
regularly updated information on the following
subjects:
- The best office and
enterprise locations that offer value for money in terms of
land prices, land availability, opening up of new areas,
available grants and tax breaks, and specific economic
development and redevelopment zones in Europe..
- Labour costs and social
security regulations in Europe including information about
employment, the labour force, education funding, recruitment
funding, etc.
Furthermore, we will
inform you on three essential services for businesses wishing
to acquire a company in Europe. When it comes to signing the
purchase contract, you will know what you are buying, thanks
to the strong code of ethics we adhere to in our business
services.
- Financial due
diligence: we assess whether the financial figures of the
company are accurate and whether the corporate valuation has
been determined correctly.
- Commercial due
diligence: we check whether the estimated market position
and potential of the company you would like to buy is
realistic.
- Management screening
and follow-up: we find out whether the existing management
team is competent and whether their business ethics and
performance are likely be reliable in the future.
In addition, we provide a
comprehensive inventory of the various grants and subsidies
offered to businesses to promote ethical investment in the EU
market. Several investment grant and subsidy structures are
already in place, for example the Structural Funds,
the European Investment Bank, the European
Investment Fund, joint ventures with countries both
outside and inside the EU, and many other business
initiatives.
Last but not least, we
publish information on the different ways of buying into an EU
company. There are three major ways a Chinese business can
become involved in the management of an EU company; and all of
these types of corporate participation can be instigated
immediately or over time. The three commercial alternatives
for buying into a company are:
- Full takeover (100%
share in company)
- Joint venture (around a
50/50 share)
- Minority participation
(20% share or lower)
