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.

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.
