China Business Services

China is the largest country in the world by population and probably has the fastest growing economy. In 2002 China was admitted to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which is expected to improve openness and trade regulation. In order to do business with China, or prepare to do business with China, companies need not immediately establish an office in China, hire staff, possibly relocate staff, etc. Maple Tree offers services to foreign companies looking for representation in China to enable business exploration or transactions in China.

For many products we can also provide second and third levels of support including bug fixes, local customization and higher levels of support to end customers.
