An Honest Tip First

Setting up a company in China is straightforward. Legally repatriating profits is the challenge.

You need Chinese lawyers to help you expand into the Chinese market safely and legally — not just a registration agent.

Visa
Apply for Chinese work visas for yourself and foreign employees — and family visas for your family members.

Business
Seize more opportunities and build trust in China's market. Enjoy entrepreneurship subsidies and tax rebates, receive USD, and buy social security for yourself and your staff.

More
Buy a car and house under the company name. Apply for the Foreign Permanent Resident ID Card.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about setting up in China

A WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise) suits most trading and service businesses: full control, can invoice and hire locally. A joint venture fits regulated sectors or when a Chinese partner brings market access. A representative office suits market research only — it cannot invoice. We recommend based on your business model, not a template.
With complete documents, registration itself typically takes 2–4 weeks; bank account opening and tax registration add a few more. The slowest part is usually document notarization and apostille in your home country — start that first.
For most industries, no — China uses a subscribed capital system. But the amount you declare affects credibility, visa quotas and bidding eligibility. We help you set a figure that is credible without over-committing you.
That is the real question. Profits leave China as dividends after audit and tax clearance, as service fees under real contracts, or as salaries. Each route has tax and documentation requirements that must be designed from day one — retrofitting is expensive. This is exactly where a law firm adds value over a registration agent.
Monthly bookkeeping and tax filings, annual audit and annual report, social insurance for staff, and license renewals. Non-compliance leads to blacklisting that blocks banking and visas. Our team provides ongoing counsel so the company stays clean.
