Thinking about expanding from China to United Kingdom?
Selling software from China into the United Kingdom requires overcoming trust concerns and ensuring full compliance with UK data-privacy standards. You must translate UIs and documentation into polished British English and demonstrate UK GDPR compliance under the Data Protection Act, appoint a privacy officer, and obtain ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials certifications. Integration readiness with UK-standard platforms like Salesforce, Sage or Workday—and UK pilot case studies—are essential to build credibility.
Your export strategy should weigh direct subscription models against partnerships with UK VARs or managed-service providers—each demanding British English enablement kits and margin agreements in GBP. China-based support teams must adapt to GMT/BST business hours, handle inquiries in native-level English, and uphold SLA guarantees. Registering for UK VAT and managing net-30 invoicing cycles alongside purchase-order workflows adds administrative overhead. Without a UK-based technical liaison or customer success manager, Chinese software vendors often face cultural, regulatory and operational challenges that slow their British expansion.
