What we help you set up
One team for the whole process, so you do not have to coordinate a lawyer, accountant, translator and bank relationship manager separately.
WFOE Registration
A 100% foreign-owned company for trading, consulting, manufacturing or services — with the right business scope and registered address.
Joint Venture
Equity or cooperative joint venture with a Chinese partner, including shareholder agreements, capital structure and regulatory filings.
Representative Office
A liaison office for market research, supplier coordination and brand presence — without direct revenue-generating activity.
Bank Account Opening
Corporate CNY and foreign-currency accounts, document preparation and coordination with the bank’s onboarding team.
Tax & Accounting
Monthly bookkeeping, VAT and corporate income tax filings, payroll support and annual audit coordination.
Work Visa & Residence
Foreign employee work permits, residence permits and dependant visas for your China-based team.
A clear four-step process
Most company registrations take three to six weeks after the documents are ready. We tell you what is realistic for your city and industry before you commit.
Consultation
We clarify your business model, city, ownership structure and whether a WFOE, JV or RO fits best.
Documents
Passport copies, address, company name options, business scope and capital plan are prepared for Chinese filings.
Registration
Name approval, business licence, company seals, tax registration and foreign exchange registration.
Go live
Bank account, invoicing setup and a compliance calendar for monthly and annual filings.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to register a company in China?
Usually three to six weeks after all documents are ready, depending on the city, industry and whether special permits are required. Bank account opening can add two to four weeks.
Do I need to travel to China?
Company registration can generally be handled remotely with notarised or apostilled documents. Some banks still require the legal representative or authorised signatory to visit in person; we confirm this before you book travel.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Chinese company?
Yes, in most industries a WFOE can be 100% foreign-owned. A small number of sectors remain restricted or prohibited under the negative list, so we check your specific business scope first.
How much does registration cost?
Costs vary by city, registered address, capital and whether special licences are needed. We provide a written estimate covering government fees and our service fee after the consultation.
Do I need a Chinese partner?
Not for a WFOE. A joint venture is optional and may make sense where a local partner brings licences, land, distribution or government relationships.
