Our approach

A sourcing strategy for a new K-Beauty brand

01

Define the product

We clarify what you are looking for, the product category, positioning, target market and key requirements.

02

Identify the manufacturer

We search for Korean companies that match the product and production requirements of your project.

03

Compare the options

We structure the available information so that different suppliers and solutions can be compared on relevant criteria.

04

Verify and test

When required, we verify selected suppliers and coordinate further steps such as sample sourcing.

The principle

Your task is to make the decision.

Our task is to collect and structure the information that allows you to make that decision based on facts rather than random search results.

Discuss the Project

Prices are starting rates and depend on the complexity of the task, number of suppliers, depth of research, number of categories and other project parameters. After receiving your request, we clarify the requirements and suggest the most appropriate format of cooperation.

How to start

From request to result

01

Submit a request

Describe what you are looking for, including the product, category or business task.

02

We clarify the requirements

We discuss your requirements, budget, timeline and preferred format of cooperation.

03

We agree on the project scope

We propose the appropriate service format and confirm the scope of the sourcing project.

04

We begin the research

Once the scope is approved, we start the agreed research and sourcing process.

You do not need to know the exact supplier.

If you only know the product, category, an example product or the result you want to achieve, that is enough to start discussing the task.
