Straight answers to what foreign founders ask us most
It depends on whether you need to earn revenue independently (WFOE), partner with a local company (JV), or only run liaison/marketing (RO). We map your planned activities to the right structure before any paperwork begins.
Most setups complete in roughly 15–30 working days once signed documents are ready, depending on city, business scope, and bank/tax steps. We give you a realistic timeline for your case.
In most cases the process can be handled remotely with properly prepared documents. Some banks may require a brief in-person step; we tell you in advance if it applies.
For most consulting, trading, and service entities there is no enforced minimum — capital is subscribed and contributed over time. We recommend a sensible figure matched to your operations and visa plans.
