Business Interpreting

Precise interpreting is what lets both sides of a meeting say what they mean. We interpret consecutively in business settings, and know the vocabulary that literal interpreting gets wrong.

In short: consecutive interpreting for business meetings, delegations, visits to your own operations, bank and government appointments, and signing meetings, with a short written note of any points agreed. From US$600 per day. Interpreters can be arranged for other languages: contact us for availability and a quote.

Where we interpret

Meetings and delegations

Board meetings, partner meetings and visiting delegations, in person in mainland China or by video.

Banks and government counters

Account appointments, registrations and filings where the conversation has to be exact.

Signing meetings

So that what is said at the signing matches what is on the page.

A note of points agreed

A short written note after the meeting of anything agreed, so both sides leave with the same understanding.

Common questions

What settings do you interpret in?
Business meetings, visiting delegations, visits to your own operations in China, bank and government appointments, and signing meetings.
Which languages can you cover?
We arrange interpreters for Chinese and other languages. Contact us with the language, the date and the setting, and we will confirm availability and send a quote.
Can you interpret by video?
Yes. Video meetings are interpreted in the same way, and are often the quickest way to keep a relationship moving between visits.
Do you translate documents too?
Yes, as a separate service. See Certified Translation for documents a bank, a registry or a counterpart needs to accept.

Consecutive interpreting for business meetings and appointments. The interpreter conveys what is said and does not commit or sign on your behalf.
