What is the NextStep Directory?
The NextStep Directory is a business service listings website for Shanghai. The companies are organized by category, with each company providing its contact information, a company introduction and the answers to a category specific questionnaire that we have created. Through these questionnaires, the users are given a preview of the services that each company offers.
The NextStep Directory has been built to assist in the daily operations of businesses. Whether for a small start-up, or a multinational firm, the NextStep Directory will make doing business easier.

Just in case you haven't heard about NextStep before landing on this page, take a look at how active we have been in the Shanghai business community over the past year (www.nextstepshanghai.com), creating an offline network of 5000+ entrepreneurs, managers, lawyers, accountants, and consultants.
Why should I use the NextStep Directory?
Whether you are a business owner, manager, employee, or casual user, the directory offers relevant and easily digestable information to help you fulfill your business needs.
An ordinary directory offers some simple company contact information, but we take it one step further by offering an industry specific questionnaire and enabling our registered users to comment and rate on the services of individual companies. The comment and rate features allow you to make an informed decision about which company you choose.
For companies, a NextStep Directory listing provides you immediate exposure to a targeted user-base. Allow your satisfied customers to be a part of your sales team; good comments and positive ratings will set you apart from your competition. The directory also enables you to see what others are doing in your industry from the convenience of one industry.
How do I contribute to the NextStep Directory?
The NextStep Directory team has laid the framework. Now it is time for the Shanghai business community to help the directory grow organically. Individual registration can be completed in less than two minutes, and seconds later you are empowered to let your voice be heard.
Company registration is done with a few clicks of the mouse, and after a NextStep Directory administrator approval the listing is live for the whole world to see. Encourage your clients to use the site to tell the world just how good you really are. Users are more likely to seek the services of companies that have been given approval by others.
