Bank account opening?

On-site verification is tightening; consistent address and operations with complete documents pass more easily, while most banks reject corporate accounts for purely hosted addresses.

What if I skip bookkeeping and tax filing?

Periodic filing and the annual report are legal obligations; anomalies are publicized and hurt the legal rep's and shareholders' credit, and later anomaly resolution is costly.

Start your mainland business journey in 3 clear steps

1

Clarify your business & launch city

Set your core business and target market, then choose the launch city and address plan, matching the local industrial belt and policy.

2

Prepare documents and start establishment & address hosting

Organize shareholder and legal-rep IDs and business scope, kick off establishment filing, address hosting and bank appointment to reduce back-and-forth.

3

Connect bookkeeping, filing & annual report after launch

Connect monthly bookkeeping and tax filing right after licence collection, file the annual business report on time, and arrange trademark/patent and licensing as needed to stay compliant.

3 considerations before choosing the mainland

01

Is your target market domestic or export?

This decides the launch city and tax structure; domestic trade values industrial-belt proximity, export values ports and free-trade zones.

02

Do you fit a local industrial belt?

Staying close to the chain cuts cost and speeds up; the wrong city adds logistics and collaboration cost.

03

Can you maintain genuine bookkeeping & compliant filing?

Under Golden Tax Phase IV, genuine compliance is the floor; entities unable to maintain bookkeeping capability should outsource.

Understand the mainland business environment first, or arrange an entity setup consultation directly?

Mainland China Corporate Services FAQ

Can I launch without premises?+

You can complete registration with a hosted address first, but account opening and some licenses are restricted; on-site industries need real premises — plan early by business nature.

Do policies differ much by city?+

Greatly — tax, subsidies and industry thresholds vary by city, subject to the local latest rule; for multi-city layouts, have an advisor compare interpretations first.

What is the launch timeline?+

Establishment filing generally takes a few business days to a few weeks; bank opening varies with verification strictness — leave a buffer.

What is the compliance core?+

Genuine bookkeeping, on-time filing, prompt annual reports and early anomaly handling — get these three right and the entity stays stable long term.
