Can you handle company registration and ongoing accounting together?

Yes. Registration, tax registration, bookkeeping and recurring filings are planned together so the company is ready to operate rather than only registered. The quote separates one-off formation work from recurring compliance.

Do you quote formation and compliance separately?

Yes. An itemised quote should separate the formation service, address and document handling, banking and licence support, and recurring accounting. Registered capital is not a service fee and is never included in ours.

Which services does a new Hainan company usually need first?

Most companies need registration, official seals, tax registration and bookkeeping before they can trade. A corporate bank account, import and export filing or an industry licence are added when the business activity requires them.

Service paths

Start with the market-entry question you need answered.

Hainan Free Trade Port policy navigation

Turn policy headlines into a practical business decision.

Hainan FTP policies can matter to an overseas business only when the entity, activity, location and operating substance are a fit. We help you identify the relevant route before it is built into your China entry plan.

Foreign investment and tax

Assess the eligibility behind the incentive.

We map your proposed activity and operating model against the conditions that can affect preferential tax treatment, including the need for genuine local business substance.

Trade, customs and equipment

Plan the route for goods, equipment and sales.

For importers, manufacturers and traders, we clarify the registrations, customs steps and policy questions that sit behind a Hainan supply-chain or market-access plan.

Capital, people and expansion

Connect the company structure to growth plans.

We help you identify whether cross-border investment, foreign-talent or sector-specific pathways are relevant, and what approvals or evidence they may require.

Policy availability, eligibility and outcomes depend on the current rules, your industry, operating substance and the decision of the relevant authorities. We assess applicability; we do not promise approvals or tax outcomes.
