Services
Choose the help you need—not more than you need.
Practical, client-paid support for your first month, housing, schooling, permits and full relocation in Shanghai. Start small, or coordinate the whole move through one point of contact.
The smallest useful next step
A guide may be enough. When it isn’t, bring us in.
Many questions can be answered by a clear guide and a little time. Start there when you can make the decision or complete the task safely on your own.
Hands-on support becomes useful when the steps depend on local language, in-person coordination, several parties or decisions that are expensive to reverse.
- Use a guide when you mainly need an explanation or checklist.
- Use a service when you need local execution, coordination or someone beside you.
- If the smaller option is enough, we will say so.

Scope and pricing
Know the scope before you commit.
Some services have a fixed scope. A full move depends on your family, timing and the number of systems that need to work together.
Use the pricing page to compare current starting points, then tell us what is happening if the right fit is still unclear.
