Address & operations
Explore the questions below.
Updated 7 October 2026 · Mainland China · Requirements depend on your activity and location.
Registered address & office
Can I use a park-based registered address?
Yes, where the city, specific address and business activity allow it. A park-based or registered-address-only service is primarily for company registration and normally does not provide daily workspace.
Our indicative registered-address-only price is USD 200–400 per year. Some providers handle mail or parcels; others do not. We confirm this before you choose.
Banking, work and residence applications, and activities involving premises checks require a separate review of whether the arrangement supports those purposes.
Suitable for registration does not automatically mean suitable for every later business need.
When might I need an actual workspace?
An address used only for registration may not meet your wider needs. Plan actual premises when:
- You intend to apply for work and residence through the company: based on our handling experience, include actual workspace and the relevant lease and operating evidence in your planning.
- Your business has premises requirements: food businesses and human resources services, for example, may need suitable space, facilities and supporting documents. Exact conditions vary.
- Your operations need verification: export tax refund reviews and other checks may require premises and records consistent with the real business.
- You need space day to day: for employees, goods, customers or supplier meetings.
The space does not have to be large, but it should be genuinely usable and support your activity and application requirements.
Before choosing, confirm access hours, usage limits, documentation and arrangements for legitimate inspections. We assess the registered address and actual workplace separately.
Banking & payments
What should I prepare for a business bank account?
We help organise the company’s account-opening documents and coordinate with the bank. For you personally, the starting point is a valid passport, followed by the identity checks, signatures or attendance required by the selected bank.
The bank may also ask about your business, expected transactions or source of funds. We explain any additional information needed in advance.
You do not need to work out the full process yourself. We provide a clear list of what you need to supply and do.
Can the company receive overseas payments?
Yes. With a suitable foreign-currency account, your company can receive overseas customer payments in accordance with the bank’s requirements.
We help arrange accounts based on the currencies and transactions you expect. The bank may request contracts, invoices or other supporting records, so payments should match the company’s actual business.
Customer payments and shareholder capital contributions serve different purposes and may need different account arrangements.
People & administration
Do I need to hire Chinese employees?
For ordinary trading or consulting activities, company registration itself generally does not mean you must hire Chinese employees. Start with the people your business actually needs.
- Work and residence applications: in our handling experience, some cities or circumstances may require a Chinese employee. Any employment and social insurance conditions should be confirmed locally.
- Industry licences: some activities require a specified number of qualified or experienced professionals. Hiring a general employee may not satisfy those requirements.
- Daily operations: add sales, purchasing or administrative staff as your business develops.
Consider registration, residence plans, licensing and daily operations separately when deciding whom to hire.
Which daily tasks can I outsource?
We can handle agreed accounting and tax filing work and coordinate related procedures within your chosen service scope.
Each month, we confirm payroll, social insurance, account statements, income and expenses with you. You provide complete and accurate business records; we use them to prepare the relevant accounts and filings.
Contracts, payment approvals and important business decisions remain with you or the company’s authorised personnel. Additional administrative services are confirmed separately.
We help reduce administrative work so you can spend more time on your business.
