Taiwan - Using an Agent to Sell U.S. Products and ServicesTaiwan - Using an Agent to Sell
Most foreign firms gain their initial foothold in the Taiwan market by appointing a local agent. The prospect of an agent relationship appeals to many Taiwan firms, which are well-known for their trade prowess. If the size of the market warrants, companies may consider setting up a branch office or subsidiary in Taiwan. Taiwan welcomes foreign investment, and despite bureaucratic approvals procedures, establishing an office in Taiwan is relatively easy.
