In recent years, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have faced challenges due to restructuring in the global industrial chain, resulting in an increasingly unpredictable market. Externally, SMEs are confronted with risks such as trade protectionism in various countries, geopolitical conflicts, currency exchange rate fluctuations, and rising tariffs imposed by the United States. Internally, they experience issues such as the loss and transfer of labor and talent, changes in trading partners, and operational uncertainties. Many SMEs frequently report difficulties in acquiring new business, allocating suitable manpower, managing high operating expenses, and collecting accounts receivable. Some are even hesitant to pursue new business opportunities due to concerns about insufficient manpower to meet increased demands. This workshop focuses on business risk management, cost control, and the current market environment. Through an analysis of global accounts receivable recovery trends and IQOR RMS’s exclusive global database on bad enterprises, the workshop aims to help businesses of all sizes mitigate the risks of overdue accounts receivable. Additionally, it will explore various operational strategies employed by successful companies in today’s challenging market.

Mainland China has long been the HKSAR’s largest business partner, offering vast domestic demand and strong purchasing power. The growing market in the Greater Bay Area provides a convenient entry point for Hong Kong businesses to expand their sales, making mainland China an invaluable market resource. Many Hong Kong businesses have already established operations in various industries within mainland China, benefiting from a thriving business environment. However, whether dealing with domestic sales or exports, Hong Kong businesses face customer risks due to different trade partners and lower transparency in mainland China’s credit system. While tools like credit insurance can help manage these risks, Hong Kong businesses must understand the latest company laws and account management methods in mainland China. This knowledge ensures smooth business operations and better protection of receivables, helping to avoid bad debts.

Hong Kong companies are facing significant uncertainties amid the Sino-US trade battle and the slow recovery from the pandemic. They are under scrutiny on cross border trade and encountering high tariffs imposed by western countries such as the European Union and the United States. Additionally, stiff competition from Southeast Asian countries has been intensified. Nevertheless, Mainland China's diversified development and expanding industrial supply chains present great business opportunities for Hong Kong enterprises. Furthermore, Mainland China being Hong Kong’s largest trading partner and the world’s biggest consumer market, it creates ample untapped potential. To address these challenges and opportunities, this seminar will provide an overview of the latest updates to Company Law of the People's Republic of China and share an update of the global Collectability Index, offering insights and intelligence for businesses when trading with China.

Hong Kong enterprises are currently experiencing a transformation in their economic structure. As the city sees a substantial outflow of its workforce and an influx of numerous talents and enterprises, the global trade landscape is undergoing a shift. In face of both opportunities and risks surrounding the market shift, Hong Kong enterprises are deemed necessary to keep up with the changing post-pandemic economic recovery and market trends. Amid the transition, the key operational concern is how to select partners properly and manage accounts receivable. This seminar will utilize iQor RMS's global collectability index and its exclusive big data analysis to provide insights on enterprise risk management and current market conditions. It aims to provide businesses of all sizes with valuable techniques to prevent the risk of overdue accounts receivable and explore effective strategies for addressing international trade debt issues.

You may find yourselves exhausted or having spent a significant amount of legal fees to deal with bad and doubtful debts, but in vain. Many companies are still encountering cash flow challenges at present, although the HKSAR government seeks to promote economic revitalization after the pandemic. In the phase of transformation and rebuilding of the global economy, Hong Kong companies seeking new business opportunities must ensure that their business partners and clients could maintain a healthy financial condition, so as to enable an efficient management of accounts receivables. In this seminar, speakers from iQOR RMS - one of the world's leading debt recovery providers, together with the International Professional Mediation Association – a professional mediation consulting organization, will share the international debt recovery experience and the latest big data on the collectability index for the first three quarters of 2023. They will shed light on how commercial mediation can diplomatically resolve debt disputes. Participants will learn how to strengthen the corporation's recovery capabilities and prevent losses from bad debts.

No matter what field you are working in, a corporation will always be involved in both buying and selling activities in different business processes. Any of the roles may encounter trade risks. Therefore, it is important to know how to prevent and manage these risks.  In this seminar, speakers from IQOR RMS -one of the world's leading debt recovery providers and Nova Credit -a global business information supplier, will share their insights on the current global business environment. They will also advise some approaches which can be used to analyze the background and latest situation of the counterparty. Furthermore, speakers will explain how to use big data to assess trade risks and prevent bad debt risks, as well as manage every transaction effectively.

The anti-epidemic measures are being further relaxed, the Central Government and the HKSAR Government advocate the business community to look for business opportunities around the world for economic recovery. ​In this seminar, speaker will share the IQOR RMS's global recovery experience and its exclusive big data analysis from the perspective of the latest global economy in the world (including China, Britain, the United States, Japan, ASEAN, and the European Union), help participants to define the financial status of their target partners; hence, to monitor and reduce the bad debt risk effectively.

The anti-epidemic measures and tight border policies adopted in Hong Kong since the outbreak of Covid-19 might have posed pressure on the local economy. In addition, a series of measures introduced by the Hong Kong government in order to alleviate the difficulties of enterprises, such as the Employment Support Scheme (ESS) and the temporary protection measures in the form of a rental enforcement moratorium were ended in July. Many businesses were expected to suffer issues such as receivables recovery, financial difficulties with rental and salary payment and leading to business closures. To recover account receivables and outstanding invoice payment, it is often necessary to consider taking legal action as a solution. Considering the complexity of the legal recovery process, litigation cost and time, together with the impact relating to the company goodwill, a sound legal collection plan is necessary.In this seminar, the speaker will share his knowledge to help creditors to better understand their rights and choices in legal recovery process, and develop a sound recovery plan and solution.

​A few companies in Mainland China might have been unable to operate normally, or even turned into bankruptcy due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Yet, crises can turn into new opportunities - we believe that new investment opportunities will inevitably emerge after the pandemic. In this seminar, the speakers will explore the issues of business operation in China, they will tell participants how to choose China business partners, how to remit profit from China, and talk about the related tax issues.
