Question 1

What is the difference between MENHU and an agency?

Accepted Answer

MENHU is a direct channel, not an agency. We hold equity stake in the operational chain — Singapore anchor through BOLV, Shanghai tech and manufacturing hub, Podgorica execution. Skin in the game, not just brokerage.

Question 2

What languages do you work in?

Accepted Answer

English, Mandarin through the BOLV network, and Serbian for Adria operations. All formal documentation in English; Mandarin for partner-side conversations and Chinese regulatory work.

Question 3

How long is a typical mandate?

Accepted Answer

Three to nine months for full JV structuring — from sourcing brief and partner identification (4-8 weeks) through negotiation and operational launch. Pure sourcing engagements close faster, 4-12 weeks.

Question 4

Which sectors do you avoid?

Accepted Answer

Crypto, gambling, weapons, and any sector that does not survive both China and EU regulatory scrutiny. We focus on real-economy verticals — manufacturing, energy, real estate, agribusiness, logistics, financial services.

Question 5

Can you handle cross-border M&A?

Accepted Answer

Yes — through the BOLV network for Asian-side capital and the Schule kuća for the Adria legal and financial structuring. Typical deal sizes range from 2M EUR to 25M EUR. Beyond that, we co-lead with senior partner banks.
