The problem 难题
China is the market everyone wants. Behind a door most enter the hard way.
Most foreign companies still set up in Shanghai or Shenzhen because it is the route everyone knows. They pay for that familiarity in tax, tariffs and time.
25% corporate income tax on the mainland, before local surcharges and dividend withholding.
Full import tariffs and VAT on equipment, materials and goods from day one.
Bureaucracy in Chinese. Licensing, banking and filings that stall without someone in the room.
The wrong intermediaries. Brokers you will never meet, at an address you cannot visit.
The Hainan route 海南路线
The Hainan Free Trade Port. Same China, different terms.
Hainan is China's designated free trade port, the whole island became a sealed customs zone in December 2025. A company registered here is a full Chinese company, on terms Beijing designed to attract you.
- Sell into the mainland like any Chinese company
- Process goods to 30% added value → ship to the mainland tariff-free
- Visa-free entry for citizens of 85 countries
Incentive rates apply to qualifying businesses with real operations in Hainan. We confirm your eligibility before you commit.

Client words 客户之声
In our clients' own words.
Years of China trade through other people’s companies. HCSG set up my own in Haikou, and the margin stays with me. Brother, these people don’t disappear after you pay.
Khan Muhammad Abdullah海南小王进出口有限公司 · licence on file belowAlmost everything from home: documents on WhatsApp, a video call for the bank, one two-day visit to sign. They answered every question, even the ones I asked twice.
Rehman Sadia海南环悦进出口贸易有限公司 · licence on file belowSix months watching YouTube videos, too scared to start. One call explained more than all of them. Licence in the first week, set up in five. I only regret waiting.

Okorie Ebubechi Uchenna海南奥思汀进出口贸易有限公司 · licence on file belowWhat I respect: they told me first what would NOT work for my case, then gave me a structure the tax bureau wouldn’t question. That honesty saved me real money.

FAQ 常见问题
China company setup, answered.
01Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in China?
Yes. A wholly foreign-owned enterprise, a WFOE, gives you 100% ownership and full control in most industries, with no Chinese partner required. Only the sectors on China's negative list carry restrictions or ownership caps. Most trading, services, manufacturing, tech and consulting businesses register with full foreign ownership as standard, and that is exactly what we set up in Hainan.
02How do I know HCSG is legitimate?
The right question. China market entry attracts intermediaries you should avoid. We're a registered company with a physical office in Haikou. We'll show you our licence, give you our registration number to verify independently, walk you through the office on video, and connect you with past clients before you pay anything.
03How long does company registration in China take?
A standard WFOE in Hainan typically completes in 4 to 6 weeks from submitted documents: name approval, business licence, company chops, tax registration and bank account opening. Regulated industries take longer. We give you a written timeline in the planning stage and report progress weekly.
04How much does it cost to set up a WFOE in China?
It depends on entity type, industry licences and whether you need banking, visas and accounting bundled. What we promise: a fixed, itemised quote in writing before you commit, and no fees invented mid-process. The consultation and quote are free.
05Can I set up a Chinese company without traveling to China?
Yes. Most registrations complete remotely with notarised and legalised documents from your home country. We handle the China side under power of attorney. Bank account opening sometimes requires one in-person visit depending on the bank; Hainan's visa-free entry for 85 nationalities makes that a trip, not a project.
06Why register in Hainan instead of Shanghai or Shenzhen?
Because the same Chinese company costs less to run in Hainan. A company in the Hainan Free Trade Port's encouraged industries pays 15% corporate income tax instead of the mainland's standard 25%, imports 6,600+ categories of goods at zero tariff, and caps qualifying staff income tax at 15% against a mainland top rate of 45%. It still sells into the mainland like any other Chinese company. Shanghai and Shenzhen are the familiar route. Hainan is the route Beijing priced to attract you.
07Is HCSG only a corporate services firm?
Corporate services are the core: formation, banking, tax, legal and HR. Around them we run the rest of the China file: business invitation letters, factory-direct sourcing where you deal with the manufacturer yourself for a transparent service fee, and professional interpretation. One office, one file, whatever the China question is.
08Is Hainan's 15% corporate tax rate automatic?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. The 15% rate applies to companies in Hainan's encouraged-industries catalogue with substantive operations on the island. Many trading, services and manufacturing businesses qualify; some don't. We assess your eligibility honestly in the first consultation. See our plain-language guide.
