Who it is for
Manufacturers with stable domestic sales entering the Philippines for the first time — no local staff and no basis for channel or access decisions.
What usually goes wrong
The first entry usually fails on route, not product: Chinese channel logic applied unchanged, access ignored, traders engaged without end coverage, and price-led entry that cannot sustain service.
What is included
Philippine market research and access route assessment
Channel and distributor development (shortlist, contact, term comparison)
Product access and compliance (registration, certification, labelling, tariff route)
Small trial order and retail placement validation
