Keep ownership of your business
Many permitted activities allow 100% foreign ownership, without a Chinese shareholder. We check your business scope against market-access rules before recommending a structure.

01 / WHY START IN CHINA?
Closer to the opportunity.
Build relationships on the ground
A local company gives you a base to develop customer, supplier and partner relationships. Choose your location around the people and market you want to serve.
Connect with supply chains
For sourcing, trading and product businesses, a presence in China can bring you closer to suppliers and production partners. Shenzhen offers an established technology and manufacturing ecosystem.
Plan business and life together
A qualifying company can support an eligible founder’s work permit application. Our setup-and-visa package brings these connected processes into one plan; approval remains a separate assessment.

Confirm any sector licences, authentication, translation, additional third-party costs and applicable service taxes in your quotation. Bank account opening and immigration decisions are subject to their own reviews.
Know your ongoing commitment.
Budget for your premises, accounting and tax filings alongside the setup fee. Your business may also need sector permits, payroll or other compliance work. We identify relevant requirements when reviewing your activity.

A straightforward application roadmap.
- Tell us your plan. Share your nationality, proposed activity, preferred city, shareholders and whether you intend to work in China. We review eligibility and confirm the package before accepting your case.
- Agree the company details. Confirm the proposed name, business scope, ownership, registered capital, management appointments and suitable registered address.
- Prepare and sign. We prepare the registration forms and Articles of Association. You review, sign and provide identity and supporting documents in the required format.
- Submit for registration. We lodge the application and coordinate responses to any requests for clarification or additional documents.
- Complete the setup essentials. Following approval, arrange the business licence and company seals, then proceed with bank account opening support and the applicable tax and accounting setup.
- Move into operation. Complete any activity-specific licences before trading. If your package includes visa support, follow the separate work permit, Z visa and residence permit process.
Indicative registration planning window: 10–20 business days after complete, acceptable documents and address confirmation. This is an estimate, not an approval deadline. Banking, document authentication, special licences and immigration can take additional time.
Understand the work visa process ↗PREPARE WITH CONFIDENCE
What we need from you.
We tailor the final checklist to your shareholder structure, city and activity. Start with the following information and documents.
Your company plan
- Preferred company names and a clear description of your business activities.
- Shareholder names, ownership percentages and registered capital plan.
- Details and identity documents for the legal representative and relevant management appointees.
- Proposed registered address and the required lease or premises evidence.
Your supporting documents
- Clear passport copies for individual foreign shareholders and relevant appointees.
- For a corporate shareholder: incorporation and qualification documents, authorised-signatory evidence and ownership information as requested.
- Signed application forms, Articles of Association and authorisations.
- Any required prior approvals, licences, translations and authenticated documents.
Authentication depends on the document
Eligible public documents from Apostille Convention countries may use an apostille instead of consular legalisation. Other documents can follow a different route. Check the exact requirements with us before paying for authentication or sending originals.
Choose realistic registered capital
For a newly established limited liability company, subscribed capital is generally payable within five years of establishment, subject to applicable exceptions and special rules. Choose a commitment that fits your business plan and funding capacity.
Banking and work visa applications require additional documents. Banks may require identity verification, beneficial ownership information, business evidence and attendance by relevant persons. A registration approval does not guarantee a bank account or work permission.
