ExpertLinks

ExpertLinks is a Japan–Greater China business platform that connects companies with active professionals in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore for on-demand consulting services. It offers spot consultations, asynchronous Q&A, on-the-ground research reports, monthly advisory engagements, and project-based support covering market entry, M&A, legal and regulatory matters, and supply chain management. The platform lists 522 registered experts and emphasizes strict NDAs and confidentiality across its coverage regions.

The platform is designed specifically for corporate clients, as it is a B2B service that does not accept inquiries from individuals. It serves industries such as manufacturing, trading companies, IT and technology, and finance or investment firms. Companies looking for market entry, withdrawal, restructuring, M&A due diligence, or local regulatory compliance can utilize its services.

The platform offers five distinct engagement models: spot interviews (1 hour minimum), asynchronous Q&A (answered within 24 hours), field research reports (2–4 weeks), monthly advisor engagements (1 month minimum), and project support (1–6 months). Each service has specific pricing, such as ¥8–15万 per hour for interviews or ¥25–50万 per month for advisors.

Clients can book services without a retainer contract, allowing them to access expertise on an as-needed basis. The process starts with a free initial consultation or diagnosis, followed by AI and manual matching of an expert within 48 hours. Online consultations can be scheduled as soon as the same day, with Zoom or Tencent Meeting used for the actual meeting.

According to the company's own website, ExpertLinks differentiates itself by focusing exclusively on Greater China specialists rather than mixing in generalists. It also highlights its trilingual curation in Japanese, Chinese, and English, ensuring cultural and linguistic understanding before matching clients with experts.

To initiate a request, clients must use the corporate inquiry form which requires company name, department, position, name, and a corporate email address. Free email addresses are discouraged, and the form asks for the desired response timeline, ranging from emergency (within 24 hours) to standard (3–5 business days).
