For foreign entrepreneurs, China as a country can be a little intimidating if not an overwhelming experience- at least for a novice business person. But for founder and former CEO at LNP China, a company that helps small companies set up and operate in the country, it doesn't always have to feel that way.

Having lived and worked here for many years, Andy Clayton, a British business expert, therefore, understands the local business environment well and underscores the importance of doing your homework if you want to set up a company here. In this edition of the programme, he talks to Nillah Nyakoa about what it takes for small businesses to thrive in the middle kingdom.
