What Chinese Business Club Inc. does

Chinese Business Club Inc. (法华商业俱乐部) is a Paris-based corporate membership organization founded in 2012 by Harold Parisot to facilitate bilateral business development between French and Chinese enterprises. The club operates as a curated networking organization serving French entrepreneurs, startups, TPEs, PMEs and ETIs as well as Chinese companies, investors, diplomats and policymakers seeking introductions, market entry support and partner discovery across the two markets. Its address is 29 rue Bassano, 75008 Paris, and its reported scale is approximately 1-10 employees.

The core product is an annual corporate membership providing access to roughly fifteen in-person events per year in Paris — primarily formal monthly business luncheons featuring high-profile guests (French unicorn founders, CAC40 executives, political figures and Chinese diplomats) plus networking cocktails. Adjacent offerings include video content of events, a multilingual blog covering China market entry, export procedures, business visa (M visa) guidance and guanxi relationship-building, and WeChat/YouTube channels. Strategic partnerships with MEDEF, the China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC), the France-China Friendship Group of the French Senate, ESSEC Business School and the French Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong provide institutional reach into both French business-policy circles and Chinese trade authorities.

The business model is recurring subscription revenue from annual corporate membership fees sold on a quote-based, contact-inbound basis — no public pricing exists. The named member roster includes 140+ companies spanning luxury (LVMH, Clarins, Richemont, Moët Hennessy), hospitality (Accor, Shangri-La Hotel Paris), technology (Huawei, BlaBlaCar), aerospace (Dassault Aviation), media (Havas) and other sectors, with a stated 90% annual renewal rate. The organization claims recognition as "Élu meilleur club d'affaires de France" (Voted best business club in France). No funding rounds, M&A activity, mobile apps, API or disclosed financial data were identified.
