Do I even need a Chinese company?

Not always. If you only buy from or sell to China from abroad, you usually need no entity. You need a Chinese company when you must invoice customers in China in RMB with a fapiao, hire staff locally, hold a sector licence, or run a physical presence. Read Do you actually need a Chinese company? before you commit.

I will own and run it from abroad. Does that cause problems?

It has consequences worth settling before you register, for the company and for you personally: where the company is managed can affect where it is taxed, and your own days and role can affect your tax residency. See Tax-residency traps for remote founders .

Can a foreign investor register a company in China without visiting?

Most of it. The home-country documents are notarised and apostilled , translated and checked before anything is lodged, and the registration itself can be run on a power of attorney. The bank account and tax registration appointments include real-name steps for the legal representative. We confirm which of those steps need the legal representative in person before you commit.

What we do

Structure selection

Vehicle, shareholding, registered capital and the business scope that covers everything you will invoice for. Getting the scope wrong means amending the registration later.

Document preparation

The company constitution, the resolutions, the appointment documents and the address materials, assembled, translated and checked before anything is lodged.

Process management

Name approval, registration, chops, and the sequence of filings, run to a schedule.

Bank & authority liaison

Corporate bank account and tax registration appointments prepared and attended, including the real-name steps for the legal representative that catch people out.
