One accountable lead
A named ENSAMICO contact owns communication, priorities and the connection between your team and the people doing the work.
HOW WE WORK
A clear operating model for cross-border business work.
ENSAMICO uses one clear operating model across Source China, China Business Development and China Desk. A named lead, written responsibilities, traceable evidence and decision-ready updates keep every assignment focused on what needs to happen next.
WHAT SUPPORT SHOULD MAKE VISIBLE
- A named accountable lead
- Written scope and responsibilities
- Evidence separated from assumptions
- The right expertise for the task
01 / 04
Trust comes from a visible operating process.
ENSAMICO applies the same operating discipline across its three connected service lines. Source China supports supplier and buying decisions. China Business Development turns market objectives into relevant company research, outreach and commercial conversations. China Desk gives defined local work a clear owner in Shanghai. English and Chinese coordination keeps the brief and follow-up connected across borders.
The exact workflow depends on the assignment, but the client should always be able to see who owns communication, what is included, which evidence supports a conclusion and what the next decision requires. Findings, reasonable observations and unresolved questions remain clearly distinguished.

FAQ
Working with ENSAMICO
Clear answers about scope, responsibilities and expectations.
Can we begin with a small assignment?
Yes. A focused first step may be a defined research task, supplier check, meeting mandate, sourcing brief or another limited scope. The proposal states what the first stage is designed to establish and which questions may require a later stage.
Who will work on our assignment?
A named ENSAMICO lead owns client communication. The delivery team depends on the scope and may include relevant ENSAMICO team members or agreed external specialists. Roles and important third-party involvement should be visible before the related work begins.
How are fees and third-party costs handled?
The proposed fee basis, inclusions, exclusions and known third-party costs are documented before substantive work begins. If the assignment needs to change, the commercial impact should be agreed before the additional work proceeds.
How do you handle confidential information?
Confidentiality requirements can be discussed and documented for the assignment, including an appropriate agreement where required. Do not send unrestricted sensitive personal, regulated or highly confidential material through the initial enquiry form; agree a suitable exchange method first.
Which outcomes remain outside ENSAMICO's control?
ENSAMICO improves structure, local coordination and the evidence available to a decision. Final supplier performance, market demand, candidate acceptance, regulatory decisions and future third-party conduct remain outside the assignment's control.
