Maxwell Mukaria · Based in Shenzhen, China

Asia to the world. I am the connector.

I live and work in Shenzhen, with Hong Kong and the rest of Asia within reach. For businesses and people anywhere in the world who need something from Asia, I get them where they need to go, what they need, and who they need. Factories, products, machines, partners, markets. Checked in person. Priced in the open.

Start with a Verdict Sourcing from Asia The story Clients in the UK, Europe, the US, Australia, Canada, the Gulf and Africa.

Three things I do

The world's products, machines and components come out of Asia. For most people, Asia is a wall: language, distance, unverified suppliers, prices that move once you are committed, and nobody on the ground who answers to you. I am the point man on this side of the wall.

Where you need to go

The right place

The right trade fair, the right industrial city, the right factory floor, the right market. I plan and host factory visits, trade-fair weeks and market-entry trips across China, Hong Kong and Asia.

What you need

The right product, factory or machine

I find and verify it. Is the supplier real? Is the price fair against the wholesale floor? Does the quality hold? What does it cost landed, with everything in? Then I manage the order from deposit to delivery and inspect it before it ships.

Who you need

The right people

Factory owners, distributors, logistics partners, lawyers, customs brokers, banks and the people who get things decided. For Asian companies going out, the partners, distributors and regulators they need in Africa, the Gulf and beyond.

Who it is for

Businesses that need Asia

UK · Europe · US · Australia · Canada · the Gulf · Africa

Importers, product brands, manufacturers and investors with a real order or project in front of them, who want a reliable way into Asia instead of a guess.

Asian companies going out

China · Hong Kong · wider Asia

Manufacturers and brands who want to enter new markets and need someone who knows how business actually gets done there, starting with Africa and the Gulf.

How it starts: one question, one Verdict

A Verdict is me checking the factory, supplier, product or market in person and giving you a written answer: what I found, the landed-cost picture with duty confirmed by a licensed customs broker, the risks, and a clear go or no-go. It is a fixed price, agreed before the work begins, and the fee is credited if you go on to a managed order.

01 · Name the question

One decision, written down

Is this supplier real? What will this product cost landed? Who should I be talking to in this market? You bring the one decision in front of you.

02 · Get a grounded answer

Checked on the floor, not on a call

I walk the lines, meet the owner, open a finished unit, check the paperwork and the certificates, and run the landed number in the open.

03 · Keep the work moving

From deposit to the container doors

If you proceed, I negotiate, track production and inspect the goods before they ship. You get the photos and the signed packing list. For market entry, I open the doors and stay on the ground.

The four promises I make

Most Asian sourcing still runs on hope and a middleman's margin. This is how I work instead.

No hidden supplier commissions

You see the factory invoice. My fee is a separate, named line in your landed cost, never hidden inside the supplier's price.

Open-book landed costs

You know the full number before any money moves. No surprises at the port. No guessing at duty.

Duty confirmed by a licensed customs broker

Not an estimate. A licensed professional who can lodge your import declaration tells you what you owe, and that broker is never paid by me.

Only factories I have checked

I recommend only the makers I have visited and verified on the ground.

I live in Shenzhen so you have someone on the ground

I am a Kenyan entrepreneur and I work from Shenzhen, China, with Hong Kong and the rest of Asia within reach. I have spent years inside factories, trade fairs and supplier negotiations across China, and I learned the cost of a bad supplier with my own money, sourcing for my own businesses, before I ever checked one for a client. When you ask for a Verdict, I go to the plant myself, run the landed number with the full picture in front of me, and give you a straight go or no-go. You can watch a live video tour of the floor while I am on it.
