Corporate Planning Consulting

I. Core Business Positioning

With decades of in-depth experience operating and consulting in China』s business landscape, we specialize in providing end-to-end corporate planning and consulting services for overseas enterprises aiming to establish a legal and compliant business presence in China. Our core value lies in offering clear, actionable guidance throughout the entire company setup process—even enabling clients to complete all necessary procedures and achieve full compliance without the need to travel to China. We eliminate the complexity of China』s administrative and regulatory systems, turning the challenges of cross-border business establishment into a streamlined, risk-free experience.

II. Core Services: Guiding Overseas Enterprises Through Compliant Company Establishment in China

We tailor our services to address the unique pain points of overseas enterprises—including unfamiliarity with Chinese laws, language barriers, and administrative procedural complexities—covering every stage of company establishment:

1. Pre-Establishment Strategic Consulting & Feasibility Analysis

Before initiating the setup process, we help clients lay a solid foundation with data-driven strategic guidance:
  • Business Model Localization Advice: Based on China』s industry policies, market competition, and regional development priorities (e.g., preferential policies for high-tech enterprises in the Greater Bay Area, or consumer market characteristics in first-tier vs. new-tier cities), we advise on the most suitable business model (e.g., Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise/WFOE, Joint Venture/JV, Representative Office) and geographical location. For example, we may recommend a WFOE for tech startups seeking full operational control, or a JV for enterprises entering regulated industries like healthcare or education.
  • Regulatory Compliance Pre-Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive review of industry-specific regulations (e.g., licensing requirements for food imports, registration procedures for medical devices) to identify potential compliance risks in advance. We also clarify key legal obligations (e.g., tax filing, employment regulations, intellectual property protection) to ensure clients fully understand their responsibilities post-establishment.
  • Feasibility & Cost-Benefit Analysis: We analyze market demand, competitive landscape, and operational costs (e.g., office rental, labor expenses, tax liabilities) in the target region, providing a detailed feasibility report that helps clients make informed decisions about whether and how to proceed with establishment.

2. Full-Service, Remote Company Registration Support

Our biggest advantage is enabling clients to complete China』s company registration process 100% remotely, leveraging our local expertise and trusted partnerships to handle all on-the-ground procedures:
  • Document Preparation & Verification (No In-Person Visits Required): We provide a clear, customized checklist of required documents (e.g., overseas company certificates, shareholder identification, business plan) and offer multilingual support to help clients prepare and verify paperwork. We also handle document notarization and authentication (e.g., apostille certification for foreign documents) through our network of professional service providers—eliminating the need for clients to coordinate with local authorities overseas.
  • Government Liaison & Procedural Handling: As a trusted consulting firm with long-standing relationships with local market supervision bureaus, tax authorities, and administrative service centers across China, we act as the client』s authorized representative to submit applications, follow up on review progress, and address any inquiries from government departments. Whether it』s reserving a company name, applying for a business license, or completing tax registration, we manage all interactions on the client』s behalf—with real-time updates provided via email or video calls.
  • Post-Licensing Compliance Procedures: After obtaining the business license, we continue to support clients with critical post-establishment steps, including applying for a company seal (a mandatory requirement for Chinese businesses), opening a corporate bank account (coordinating with banks to complete remote account verification), and registering for social insurance and housing fund (if the client plans to hire local employees). All these steps are completed without requiring the client to be physically present in China.

3. Post-Establishment Operational Support & Long-Term Compliance Guidance

Our services extend beyond company registration to ensure clients maintain compliance and achieve sustainable growth in China:
  • Tax & Financial Compliance Support: We provide ongoing guidance on China』s tax system (e.g., value-added tax/VAT, corporate income tax, foreign exchange control policies) and assist with monthly/quarterly tax filing through collaboration with licensed local accounting firms. We also advise on tax optimization strategies (e.g., leveraging preferential tax policies for foreign-invested enterprises) to reduce operational costs while staying compliant.
  • Administrative & Legal Compliance Updates: China』s regulatory environment evolves regularly—we proactively monitor changes in laws and policies (e.g., updates to foreign investment negative lists, data security regulations) and notify clients of any impacts on their business. We also assist with annual inspections, business scope adjustments, or company deregistration (if needed) to ensure long-term compliance.
  • Local Resource Connection: To support clients』 post-establishment operations, we leverage our local network to connect them with trusted partners, including office rental agencies, HR service providers (for payroll and recruitment), and legal firms (for contract review or IP registration). This helps clients quickly integrate into the local business ecosystem without the hassle of vetting vendors independently.

III. Target Client Groups

Our services are designed for overseas enterprises across industries and sizes that seek to enter China』s market but face barriers to on-the-ground operations:
  • Small & Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs): Overseas SMEs with limited resources for international expansion, seeking a cost-effective, remote solution to establish a compliant presence in China without sending staff abroad.
  • Startups & Tech Enterprises: Innovation-driven startups (e.g., SaaS, AI, e-commerce) looking to tap into China』s large consumer or tech market, needing guidance on business model localization and regulatory compliance for emerging industries.
  • Established Multinational Corporations (MNCs): Large overseas companies aiming to set up a regional branch or subsidiary in China, requiring efficient, professional support to navigate complex administrative procedures and align with global compliance standards.
  • Service Providers & Traders: Overseas service firms (e.g., consulting, design) or trading companies seeking to formalize their business in China to bid for local projects, partner with Chinese enterprises, or expand direct sales.

IV. Cooperation Process

  1. Initial Consultation (Remote): We schedule a video or phone call (in English, Japanese, Korean, or other requested languages) to understand the client』s business objectives, industry, and specific needs for company establishment in China.
  1. Customized Service Proposal: Based on the consultation, we provide a detailed proposal outlining the recommended business structure, timeline, service scope (e.g., registration + post-establishment tax support), and transparent pricing.
  1. Document Collection & Verification: We share a tailored document checklist and guide the client through preparing and verifying all required materials. We handle document authentication and notarization remotely.
  1. Remote Registration Execution: We submit applications to relevant government departments, track progress, and address any issues that arise. We provide weekly updates to the client until the business license and other key documents are issued.
  1. Post-Establishment Handover & Support: We deliver all official documents (digitally and via international courier) and provide a comprehensive orientation on post-establishment compliance. We then transition to ongoing support (if requested), such as tax filing or policy updates.
