A Trusted Strategic Partner for China Market Entry We engaged HI-COM to develop a comprehensive market-entry and promotion strategy for pollock roe in China, a product category that remains largely unknown in this market but has significant potential. HI-COM delivered a complete strategic framework based on rigorous market validation. We consider HI-COM a trusted strategic partner, not simply a service provider.

Is HI-COM a translation agency or a consulting firm?HI-COM is a China-based business consulting and localization firm, not a translation-only vendor. Translation and interpreting are part of a wider practice that also includes market entry strategy, market research, partner search and marketing — one connected team, not four separate vendors. What does a China market entry consultant actually do for my business?A China market entry consultant helps validate demand, find the right local partners, and build a go-to-market plan — covering market entry strategy, market research, and partner and distributor search, backed by marketing execution once you’re in-market. Do I need a certified translation or a regular translation for visa, legal or business documents in China?A certified translation includes a certification statement, seal or agency confirmation and is typically required for visas, immigration, employment, university applications, banking, court procedures, company registration and cross-border business administration. A regular translation doesn’t include that certification and is usually only suitable for internal or informational use. Requirements vary by destination country and receiving institution, so always confirm with the requesting authority. Can HI-COM handle both market entry consulting and translation for the same project?Yes — consulting, translation, interpreting and marketing sit under one connected practice, so a market-entry project can draw on document translation, interpreting for negotiations, and localized marketing content without coordinating separate vendors. How do I find a distributor or partner in China for my product?HI-COM’s Partner & Distribution Search identifies and vets potential distributors and partners based on your product, sector and target region, as part of the broader Consulting practice. What languages does HI-COM translate and interpret?40+ languages, with a primary focus on English, French, Russian and Chinese. How does HI-COM run marketing campaigns on WeChat, Douyin and Xiaohongshu?Through dedicated platform-specific services — WeChat, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, KOL/influencer marketing and livestreaming — combining content strategy with execution built around each platform’s own conventions.
