The essence of business with China is the purchase and resale of various things.

You can initially order a product from a supplier after it receives an order from consumers.

In order for your store to flourish and more customers to appear, you need to carefully monitor the quality of the purchased goods and, if a defect is detected, return it to the seller or exchange it.

The inability to “touch the product” and visually evaluate its appearance.

Often what they send is very different from the photos on the website.

Waiting for delivery to Russia.

Average delivery time is one week to three months.

Despite the fact that now, in the era of the Internet, everyone can place an order from China on their own without overpaying, people still prefer to purchase goods through intermediaries.

Hello, dear readers! It's time to summarize all the information about Business with China into one complete guide. There are a lot of articles on the site, and today I have put everything together so that you can get one complete picture in your head about doing business with China in the resale of goods and you know where to start!

1. What do we mean by business with China and how does it work;
2. Where to start a business with China in the resale of goods and what is needed for this;
3. Where to buy goods, how to do it and how to sell.

As usual, I write everything from personal experience. So, a complete guide to doing business with China!

What is business with China and what is its essence?

When I talk about business with China, I mean the resale of goods from China. Those. bought goods in China, sold them in Russia. This will be discussed further. Resale only!

I won't touch on manufacturing in China because it is a very labor-intensive process. And if you have money for it, then it is better to spend it on consulting specialists in this field. Therefore, do not ask me questions regarding production in China if you do not have at least several million rubles for this. Nobody in China will make you 10 pieces of something. Production is measured in thousands. I'm talking about conveyor (factory) production, not underground production.

Why business with China is still considered profitable

It has always been profitable and will continue to be profitable for a long time. Just look around in your apartment and you will understand that most electronics and household appliances are made in China, clothes are sewn in China, etc. Everything is brought from there!

Fact No. 1. Russia will not learn to produce stylish clothes, good electronics, etc. for a long time. I love my country, but nothing can be done about it, I have no faith that everything will change quickly in Russia. I would be only too glad, but alas, for now we have what we have.

Fact No. 2. Although many people can already order goods from China on the same Aliexpress, there will always be those who find it easier to buy from you in Russia and receive their purchase now or in a few days than to wait a month, or even more, for the order to arrive from Aliexpress . If it were otherwise, the stores in Mega and other shopping centers would have been empty for a long time.

Fact No. 3. China is the world's largest counterfeiter of famous brands. Many brands have production in China, and within a month after the release of any brand new product, exact copies (counterfeits) appear on the Chinese markets at a price several times lower. Nobody can compete with China in this, which means we will always buy the goods we need there.

There are many more things that could be listed, but I think that 3 facts are enough.

Is it possible to start a business in China without investments or only with investments?

Business with China without investments is not possible! No way. At a minimum, you will need investments for goods, advertising, a website, etc.

You will say that there is dropshipping with China. I agree! But no one has canceled investments in the website and advertising (at least).

Possible with investments. But only initially you need to calculate the amount of investment to implement your idea.

Who can do business with China

Now I will give several criteria that are mandatory, in my opinion:

1. You must have an interest in this. If you are interested in Buy and Sell activities, then this is for you.
2. You must have free time. The more, the faster you will receive the results of your labors.
3. You should have at least a superficial understanding of how online sales work and know the types of advertising.
4. You must have at least a modern computer or laptop.
5. You must be a confident PC and Internet user.
6. You must be able to see immediately what is profitable and what is not.
7. You should not have any questions about what markup to make on the product, etc. This is easy to check by comparing prices in China with your competitors in Russia and making a calculation for the 1st grade level of the school (Sale price - price in China = markup). In any commerce, no matter whether it is China or not, you must be able to count, especially money.
8. You must be able to find products that are in demand.
9. You should not have the last of your money, but free money, which you don’t mind losing if something happens.
10. You must be prepared to learn a lot of new information.

And you don’t need to believe all sorts of pseudo-gurus on the Internet that you can start a business with China without investment, spending 20 minutes a day on it and working from your phone. All this is a temptation to buy information courses. There is only 1 course that really teaches and in which there is a real breakdown of sales of goods from China. But you can read about it below if you are interested.

Where to start a business with China in the resale of goods

Below there will be step-by-step instructions, but... a lot has already been written on my website, I will provide links to some points so that you can read more.

Step 1. Idea for business with China - what to sell

First you need to find an idea:

1. What do you want to sell;
2. Why this particular product;
3. How will you sell it;
4. Who is your potential client;
5. How much can you earn from this;
6. Where in the end is it better for you to purchase goods?

I will talk about many things in more detail below. But after your analysis, the idea should look like this.

Example:

1. I will sell bags;
2. Because it has no dimension, but has constant demand;
3. Since the assortment is large, it will be an online store + a group on VKontakte + an Instagram account;
4. I will initially focus on the female audience, because... they change them more often, in the future I will add a men’s range;
   Or I’ll start selling men’s bags first, because I understand this product and know that their prices are often higher, which means a higher markup + I’m a man myself and understand the male audience better.
5. After looking at 100 sites selling men's bags and sites where you can buy them in China, I saw that you can mark up 100% on the product, which will allow you to double the money invested in the product from the sale. By investing 20,000 rubles. I will receive 40,000 rubles. Let’s subtract money for advertising, etc. from this. still makes a good profit. + there is a run-up for discounts.
6. Since I don’t have money for wholesale, and I need to test it on a smaller amount first, I’ll stop at the Taobao website. If I live in Moscow, then it still makes sense to go to the Sadovod market.

Example 2:

1. I will be selling the Scholl Heel File;
2. Because this product is actively advertised even on TV and there is a great demand for it;
3. Since there is only one product, I will sell through the Landing Page (one-page website) + VKontakte group + Instagram account. I will use contextual advertising to drive traffic to a one-page site.
4. Women and girls from 20 to 45 years old with average and above average income (since with a low income they are better off buying pumice).
5. Having looked at 100 competitors’ websites, the average price for this file is 2000 rubles, but in China I can buy it for 600 rubles. Good twist. If you consider that there are thousands of requests on the Internet, you can make good money.
6. Since I have one product, I will consider purchasing on the 1688 or Taobao website. If I live in Moscow, then it still makes sense to go to the Sadovod market.

And the more detailed your diagram and your analysis, the more accurate the results will be. I advise you to choose more than 10 niches, analyze and test each one, and then engage in those that are most interesting and profitable for you.

What is profitable to sell from China?

The answer is simple - anything! Everything you can sell and what EXACTLY will be profitable for you to sell.

You should initially approach this from the profit side: “This product costs 1000 rubles in Russia, but I found it in China for 200 rubles. It’s profitable, buy for 200, sell for 1,000.” And not vice versa!

I can’t tell you what exactly to sell you. Because Everyone has a different vision of the market and not everyone can sell everything. Selecting a product is an individual process for everyone. I know people who earn hundreds of thousands a month from women's bracelets. But I wouldn’t be able to sell women’s bracelets the way they sell, which means I wouldn’t be able to earn the same amount of money. I hope you understand what I mean?!

To find ideas for business with China, the following articles will help you:

Step 2. Where and how to buy goods in China wholesale and retail

The basis of those sites where you can purchase goods:

1. Taobao
2. Aliexpress
3. Alibaba

The first 2 are retail, the second 2 are wholesale. I work with Taobao for retail and 1688 for wholesale! But very often I look for suppliers on Alibaba (I don’t buy there, but I look for suppliers and correspond with them!!!)

But you can also buy in Russia (Moscow) at.

To work with these sites and, in principle, to find suppliers, the following articles will help you:

For purchases on all sites except Aliexpress you will need an intermediary, because purchasing on your own is very problematic and sometimes risky! The intermediary buys your goods without risk for a percentage and sends them to you in one order. Issues with customs also fall on the shoulders of the intermediary, so you simply receive your goods in your city. It's convenient and simple!

You can find your own intermediary, or you can use mine. I wrote about him in the article: .

Step 3. Test the niche

When you have collected a list of ideas, analyzed the demand, and found a product, then it’s time to start testing the niche. I wrote about this in detail in an article about.

In short, the process consists of quickly creating a website (can be copied from competitors), setting up test advertising with a minimum budget and receiving applications for the purchase of your products. If there are a lot of requests, then it is worth purchasing goods and starting active sales. If not, then we test another idea. We continue this way until the tests show positive results.

By testing BEFORE purchasing products, you save a lot of money!

Step 4. How to sell and ship goods from China to customers

There are many ways to sell:

1. Social networks (Vkontakte - groups, Instagram - account);
2. Online store
3. Notice boards (Avito)
4. Single-page sites (Landing Page)
5. Offline store (outlet)

I can’t tell you anything about offline sales, because... did not open brick-and-mortar stores. I only worked on the Internet.

Here is a selection of articles on sales tools:

Here are articles on sending products to customers and accepting payment:

Step 5. What we have as a result

Let's go through the first 4 steps and in the end we get:

1. You have chosen a product, decided on a niche;
2. You know where to buy goods;
3. You have tested the products and you still have those that gave the best results after the test;
4. You know how you will advertise and sell products;
5. All that remains is to purchase goods and increase advertising and sales volumes.

Business training with China

I am self-taught, I have not studied with anyone and now I am not teaching anyone. But I didn’t come to the product business as a newbie in the Internet business; I knew how to make websites myself, set up advertising, etc. Accordingly, I studied only the product part, but still spent a lot of time, effort and money on self-study and tests, which were not always successful.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of time getting your head around, you can learn from someone.

I only recommend one person to you , who can really teach the commodity business on the Internet is Roman Kolesnikov. Here is information about his course. There are also free lessons!

This is the only person I know who is primarily engaged in business selling goods and only teaches in addition! Those. he is truly a practitioner, whose knowledge is growing every day, because he is still in this business. Over all this time, he has achieved good results and often shares them on the pages of my website!

He will teach you from scratch how to achieve success in selling Chinese goods, from searching for goods to setting up advertising, creating a website and working with clients. FROM AND TO.

But, I repeat once again, it’s up to you to study or not. Roman's course is just my recommendation for those who have decided to study and are wondering who to go to. If such a course had been available when I started, I would definitely have taken advantage of it.

I am often asked to give some advice to beginners. I also collected these:

1. Start with little money and gradually increase your turnover. Any undertaking carries the risk of being left with nothing. Therefore, try with minimal investment, and when everything starts to work out, invest more money.
2. If you are completely new to business with China, then I would advise you to learn from someone (I wrote above), because the market is developing very quickly and you may not be able to keep up with your competitors by learning on your own. But here everything is purely individual.
3. Analyze competitors, products and demand as deeply as possible. It’s not always enough to just point your finger and say: “I want to sell this...”. You may want it, but will they buy it? Therefore, first of all, evaluate the requests on the Internet (I gave the link above to assess the demand), look at prices on Chinese sites, prices from competitors, and then decide whether it’s worth trying or not.
4. If you are not interested, then better not start. Burn out quickly. This has long been proven in any business. Routine is everywhere and at first you will have to do most of the work.
5. Don’t believe those who say they will teach you to work 2 hours a day and earn big money, this is a scam. It has long been proven.
6. All products need to be touched. Therefore, order the product for yourself, touch it and then sell it. This way you will be more confident in the quality of the product and will be able to tell more about it.
7. At first, do everything yourself, and then delegate. Otherwise, you won't be able to grow quickly.
8. Don’t focus only on sales in your city, don’t make my mistakes. Sell ​​immediately throughout Russia.
9. Don't be afraid of competition, it exists in any business. And where there is no business, there is no business.
10. Be honest with customers, provide excellent service, fight for the quality of the product and come up with all sorts of promotions, discounts, gifts, etc. Make your client happy and then the client will make you happy.

Business with China and laws

Everyone must understand that any business activity must be registered and taxes must be paid on any income. Therefore, business with China is the same business and the same rules apply. Which means:

1. You need to register a business (IP or LLC);
2. Pay taxes;
3. Have documents for the goods.

But I’ll make a reservation right away. Everyone, without exception, starts earning money without registering or paying taxes. This is logical! And I would advise you to try it first, and when things get going and you receive a stable income, then register your business.

May the gentlemen forgive me. authorities, but personally, I don’t see the point in registering a business for those who have sold 3-10 products and can’t do any more. In this connection, the activity ceases. But when you have been working profitably for several months and know that you will continue to do this, then you need to register the business. If, when registering an individual entrepreneur, they had done the first year without taxes and contributions, then I would have changed my opinion, because... no one loses anything. But not yet.

We have been working as individual entrepreneurs for a long time and there is nothing scary about it, as many may think.

(makes the work much easier).

That's all. Nothing complicated!

Answers to frequently asked questions

— Is it possible to start a business with China without investment?

No. Only with investments, but possible with minimal ones.

— How much income should I start with as an individual entrepreneur?

As long as your conscience allows it. There are no such amounts. By law you need to open immediately from day one! If logically, then I described above. But there are no definite amounts, it all depends on you.

— Is it possible to purchase in China without an intermediary?

You will get a bunch of hemorrhoids, believe me! Everyone who doesn’t believe and tries, then asks me questions like: “Nikolai, what should I do, the goods were detained at customs” or “Nikolai, what should I do, all the goods came to me defective.” To avoid all this, there is an intermediary.

— Give me the contacts of your intermediary!?!

In the article about the intermediary (given above), I wrote where to go for an intermediary. Those who apply through the site (Ask a Question) all receive contacts of a person I have verified in China.

- Nikolay, advise me, of course it’s not free!

I do not provide consultations, paid or free. If you want to learn, I gave a link to Roman’s course above, he’s a pro!

- If I don’t understand anything about this, I don’t have a computer, only a phone, how can I start?

No way! Better look for something else for yourself. And in some cases it is better to look for a job. I'm not judging you, I just can't help you.

Do you think no one asks such questions? Catch:

As questions come in, I will add them here.

In conclusion, I would like to wish you good luck in all your endeavors! Do what you like, learn and become better! Read my website, or better yet, subscribe to new articles, there’s a lot of interesting stuff here!

Best regards, Schmidt Nikolay

Many people have heard that you can make money by reselling goods from China. However, not everyone knows how to start acting and find their niche. Selling goods from China as a business has been popular in Russia for several years and brings income to many citizens. You can start working in the field without starting capital.

Business with China for resale without investment

Beginners can start making money from scratch, even if they have no starting capital. Business in Chinese goods is profitable due to the low prices for clothing, equipment, etc. in China.

It is important to consider that parcels from China costing up to 1 thousand euros do not require customs clearance. Thanks to this, you can handle significant supplies. If the price of the parcel is more than 1 thousand euros (about 65 thousand rubles), then you can negotiate with the supplier so that when sending it, he will lower the cost, then the goods will cross the border without problems. You can sell things from China through your own one-page websites, social networks, and retail outlets.

Working directly with China is much more profitable, especially for businessmen involved in household appliances, furniture, branded items, and fur coats. Manufacturers are more willing to make discounts and make concessions.

Trading with China for Beginners

In order not to be disappointed in this line of business at the initial stage of work, it is worth adopting several rules. Trading with China for beginners will begin to be profitable if:

1. Select a specific product group without trying to cover the entire market.

3. To attract customers, you should constantly launch promotions and discounts.
4. If an entrepreneur is limited in finances, it is worth choosing inexpensive goods: toys, accessories, etc.

Business with China, trade in China, business ideas from China. The most popular topic of recent times. . Already in three parts. And still relevant. But today we will not stop there and look at one practical example..

The ideal business is one that operates without you, requires no investment, but brings you daily income. Perfect, yes.

Is this possible in reality? Most likely no. Especially with China. If you see webinars, seminars, subscriptions, etc. that promise to teach you how to build sales on goods from China, with a 500% profit. Don't trust them. For one reason. If it were possible, this scheme would be used independently, without publicity. And if it is disclosed, it means it either does not work or works in violation of state laws.

But business with China is possible. Classic business - resale of goods. Moreover, the product can be anything - things, equipment, electronics, machines. Do you want a real train? We are sure that you can buy this in China without any problems. And sell it here.

How to organize a real resale business from China

The first and main condition is that you must know China, its specifics, the specifics of the market and production. In China there are large factories, and there are also cottage industries. Both can produce the same product, externally, but internally... If you decide to start a business with China, a serious business, come to China and see with your own eyes. The owners of Chinese factories will be happy to give you tours and sign a supply agreement with you.

Or you should have an assistant who will know all these subtleties. Whom you trust as yourself.

Of course, there are now a huge number of “helpers” and intermediaries who will be happy to find, negotiate, buy and send a shipment of any product you want. For a modest 3-10% of the purchase price. But, they will not refund your money if the product is of poor quality and you will bear all the complaints. That is, all the buyers are here, they will return the goods to you, and the “helpers” are there, and the seller will say that they don’t know you. And this, unfortunately, is a very common example. Therefore, we recommend that you search for manufacturers yourself and negotiate with them directly, or entrust this stage to a person who will share all material risks with you.

So, having agreed and purchased the goods, the Chinese will lovingly send the shipment to the border, and then you will again act on your own. If the shipment is really large, for example, a full sea container containing a couple of hundred thousand dollars worth of goods, think about doing transportation, customs clearance and other things yourself. If the volume is more modest, a couple of boxes, entrust it to cargo companies, of which there are a lot, specializing in the delivery of wholesale quantities from China (do not confuse them with “helpers”). Cargo companies provide a full range of services - purchase, delivery, customs clearance, support, documents, etc. Another big plus of serious cargo companies working with China is that you can actually return VAT with them (if you buy goods through them, that is, you find the goods, negotiate with the manufacturer, but the payment and acceptance will be carried out by representatives of the carrier). Direct Chinese manufacturers are deprived of this opportunity.

Here is a simple concept of business with China, which worked 10 years ago, works in 2015, will work in 2016, and in 10 years.

Let’s repeat the key points - find the product and manufacturer yourself, negotiate, buy and bring it to your place (on your own or with the help of cargo companies), sell the product several times more expensive than purchase prices. The most legal implementation scheme, if, of course, you pay all fees and taxes. Which we strongly recommend that you do.

How to find manufacturers

So, if you haven't gone to China, but want to find manufacturers. Remember one address on the Internet - Alibaba.

A specialized platform for foreigners to buy in bulk directly from Chinese manufacturers. The advantages of this site are that large factories are represented that specialize in working with foreigners, all site participants speak English, and they also often have a Russian-speaking representative. The downside of the site is that there are many intermediaries who pretend to be factories. Such scammers can be identified in several ways, the most effective is to ask for all the necessary documents - a business license, product certificates and others. You can also go to the selected factory if a large order is required.

You can also find manufacturers on other sites, but Alibaba is the largest, with a large assortment and a good reputation.

Thus, business with China is no different from our business, with one caveat: the cost of goods in China is low due to low cost of production. Therefore, trading in Chinese goods is a profitable business.
