“We at BMH have been using FinChi services for the last three years. We have found them most usefulparticularly in the back-office functions support which has allowed us to concentrate on what we had come toChina to do; which was to get our products out there in the market as quickly and efficiently as possible.Setting up a business in a country like China that is surging ahead but has a very different culture andlanguage, can be challenging for Finnish SMEs. Having access to office infrastructure and professional peoplewho understand both China’s business culture, Finnish business culture and speak the common language ofEnglish, gives the security and confidence that is needed when entering a new market.”
