Questions
Good to know before you start
Do you guarantee the visa?
No one can. The authorities decide. We make sure your company, capital and documents support the application, then prepare and file it for you.
Do I need to be in China?
Only for the steps that require you in person, mainly the bank's identity check. Everything else we can start while you're abroad. Typical number of trips: [one].
Who files my taxes?
Tax and immigration filings go through licensed partners. Where the district offers free bookkeeping for one-person companies, we help you use it instead of paying for it.
How much does it cost?
[Pricing: setup package and any monthly support]
Are you the official Fuxing Island programme?
No. We're an independent service that helps foreign founders use the district's programmes. Final decisions on space, housing and subsidies are made by the district.
