This is part of a case series. Shuguang Europe was established in 2008 in the Netherlands. Initially set up to handle REACH registrations for its headquarters in China, it soon engaged in overseas sales, purchase of raw materials for its headquarters, and customer relationship management. With minimum understanding of Dutch laws and regulations and little help from professional service firms in the Netherlands, Shuguang Europe ran into trouble managing daily business until it switched accounting and logistics firms. After getting on the right track with daily operations, Shuguang Europe began to contemplate on a new business model.
