Opportunity BasketFinancing Cost Audit & Restructuring Service (Debt Optimization Bureau)
A specialized consulting service that conducts on-site financial audits of Chinese SMEs' existing debt across all lenders (banks, shadow finance, trade credit), maps their true all-in financing costs (interest + fees + collateral requirements + hidden charges), and negotiates refinancing or restructuring deals with lenders on behalf of clients. The service physically collects loan documents, calculates effective interest rates, identifies arbitrage opportunities (e.g., replacing 18% shadow debt with 8% bank credit), and handles the paperwork and negotiations with financial institutions.

Value Proposition
Cuts through opacity by doing the detective work SMEs can't afford to do internally. Typically identifies 15–30% cost savings by consolidating high-rate debt, negotiating better terms, or restructuring collateral. Unlike banks (who push their own products) or generic consultants (who lack lending relationships), this service has skin in the game: it takes a percentage of savings realized, so it's incentivized to find real opportunities, not just sell advisory hours.
Target Audience

Chinese SMEs struggle to understand and optimize their financing costs and debt structuresSmall and medium-sized Chinese enterprises lack clarity on their financing expenses, interest rates, and overall debt obligations, making it difficult to make informed borrowing decisions and optimize their capital structure. Current banking solutions provide fragmented information across multiple institutions, leaving business owners unable to compare options or identify cost-saving opportunities. This opacity forces companies to either overpay for financing or avoid necessary capital investments.
