Eligibility Criteria

Chambers must be based within the M25 to be eligible to receive the financial package from UK Trade & Investment London. If you are outside the M25, we will approach your local international trade adviser for funding from your region on your behalf if funds are available. You need to:

  • normally have no established representation there. However, if exports account for less than 25% of your turnover, you may still be eligible. Eligibility will be assessed by your international trade adviser and will also take into account your readiness to export to
    China.

  • participate in the pre-organised programme
