I agree with the comment above but '42 Rules for Sourcing and Manufacturing in China’ by Rosemary Coates should be a good first start for you.

Thanks!

OP, that’s a very wide and ambiguous question. People would need more details to point you in the right direction.
A few questions, or things to consider:
- Are you a native of the country where you plan to setup? (Helps with culture, negotiations and many other things)
- Do you plan to be onsite at the factory?
- Have you thought about what kind of “factory” you want to setup? What about raw materials, machinery, labor, transportation, storage, regulations, tax, compliance etc etc?
- Are there established competitors in this space in that location? If yes, what is your USP? If not, why not, and how will you succeed?

The list goes on...
