FAQ
Common questions about setting up and operating a business in China.
The right route depends on jurisdiction, activity, ownership, location, tax, banking, staff, trade and the recurring services the company needs.
Can a foreign investor own a company in Mainland China?
In many activities foreign ownership is permitted, but the business activity, restricted sectors, licensing and local requirements should be checked before the structure is chosen.
Should I use Mainland China, Hong Kong or Hainan?
It depends on where customers, staff, contracts, invoicing, banking, trade and operating substance will sit. The jurisdictions should be compared against the real operating model rather than treated as interchangeable.
Can you provide bookkeeping and tax support after registration?
Yes. We can coordinate monthly bookkeeping, tax filing, fapiao readiness, bank reconciliation and recurring finance administration for new or existing companies.
Can you help with a registered address?
Yes, subject to the city, jurisdiction, business activity and the availability of a suitable qualified address provider. We review the route before connecting the service.
Do you provide payroll and employee administration?
Yes. Payroll, employee onboarding and offboarding, individual tax workflow and statutory contribution administration can be coordinated as recurring services.
Can a company owner work in China automatically?
No. Company ownership or registration does not by itself complete the right-to-work process. A separate work permit and residence route may be required.
Can you guarantee a corporate bank account?
No. We coordinate bank preparation, documents and onboarding, but account approval and product access are decided by the bank.
Can you set up import and export operations?
We coordinate the company readiness, foreign trade and customs workflow, licensing route, logistics partners and specialist support needed for the intended trade model.
Do you support companies that were registered by another provider?
Yes. We can take on bookkeeping, payroll, address, compliance, company changes, trade support or deregistration without requiring the original formation to have been handled by us.
Can you close a company?
We coordinate deregistration and closure workstreams, including tax, employees, bank accounts, customs or permits where relevant, and final corporate deregistration.
Do you provide legal, tax or immigration advice directly?
We coordinate these matters with appropriately qualified local professionals. The scope and responsible provider are confirmed before work begins.
Do you have a fixed price list?
We quote after understanding the jurisdiction, activity, shareholders, location, document route and the one-off or recurring services required.
