Expert, on-the-ground advisory support to help Western businesses establish, structure, and operate successfully across China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan — without the confusion, the delays, or the costly mistakes.
China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan represent some of the most exciting business opportunities in the world. But setting up a business entity, navigating local regulations, and building compliant operations in an unfamiliar environment is genuinely complex.
The rules are different. The processes are different. The language is different. And the consequences of getting it wrong can be serious and expensive to untangle.
The good news is that with the right guidance, setting up and operating in Greater China is entirely achievable. The difference between businesses that thrive and those that struggle almost always comes down to one thing — having the right people in their corner from the start.
The cost of getting proper guidance upfront is a fraction of what it costs to fix a poorly established operation.

Honest, experienced advice on whether, when, and how to enter the Chinese, Hong Kong, or Taiwanese market — based on your specific business, product, and objectives.

A Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise is a legal entity in China entirely owned by foreign investors — giving you full control without requiring a local Chinese partner.

Mainland China entity setup is more involved and can take anywhere from one to several months depending on the structure, location, and regulatory requirements. We'll give you realistic timelines during your consultation.
