Workspace solutions, led by a compliant address

From the registered address every company needs to a full office if you want one.

If you want your own space

Private offices, dedicated desks and premium meeting rooms for teams who want a physical base in Hainan.

Kept handled

Mail handling and reception so correspondence and callers are managed professionally on your behalf.

What a qualifying address is, and isn't

The address type is where many setups go wrong. Here's the line we hold.

TypeStatus for a Hainan company
Qualifying compliant address (what we provide)A real, verifiable address that satisfies FTP substance requirements
Virtual mailboxA bare mailbox on paper, can fall short for the 15% rate, banking and checks
A leased office you occupyNot required for our service, you don't have to rent and sit in an office
Link to the 15% rateA qualifying address is necessary but not sufficient on its own, see below

From address to a compliant setup

A clear sequence, we handle the compliance side at each step.

We look at your industry, planned operations and the income test to see whether the 15% rate is realistically within reach, before you commit.

02
We provide a qualifying address

You receive a real, compliant registered address that satisfies Hainan FTP substance requirements, not a mailbox, not an office you have to occupy.

03

The address is used to register your WFOE, correctly, as part of your setup.

04
We handle the compliance side

We keep the substance and address compliance in order so your standing holds up to checks.

05
You access the 15% rate if you qualify

With a qualifying address and the other conditions met, eligible companies access the 15% corporate tax rate, we confirm and support the claim.

The honest answer for foreign founders

It's the most common question, and the most common way a setup goes wrong. Here's how we handle it.

Don't risk it

A cheap virtual office or mailbox may register a company on paper, but it can fall short for the 15% rate, for banking, and under official checks. We don't offer that.

The right way

Our registered address is real and compliant, built to satisfy FTP substance requirements. It's the “virtual office” people want, done properly.

Done for you

We provide the address and handle the compliance side, so eligible companies get access to the FTP advantages without having to work out the rules themselves.

Common questions 常见问题

Asked before every engagement.

01Do I need a registered office address to set up a company in China?

Yes, every company needs a registered address to be incorporated. In Hainan the type of address matters: it should be a qualifying, compliant address that satisfies substance requirements, which is exactly what we provide.

02Can I use a virtual office or mailbox?

A bare virtual office or mailbox may register a company on paper, but it can fall short for the 15% tax rate, for banking, and under official checks. We provide a real, qualifying registered address instead, the compliant version of what people mean by a virtual office.

03Do I have to lease and occupy a physical office?

No, our service doesn't require you to rent and sit in an office. We provide a qualifying registered address that satisfies substance requirements. If you do want your own space, we also offer private offices, desks and meeting rooms.

04Does a registered address get me the 15% tax rate?

No, on its own it can't. A qualifying address is necessary but not sufficient: the 15% rate also depends on being in an encouraged industry, running genuine operations, and meeting the main-business-income test. We confirm whether your company qualifies.

05What makes an address 'qualifying' or 'compliant'?

It has to be a real, verifiable address that holds up to official checks and satisfies Hainan FTP substance requirements, not a paper mailbox. The detail of how that's arranged is something we handle and walk you through in consultation.

06Will HCSG confirm whether I qualify for the 15% rate?

Yes, we assess your industry, planned operations and the income test and tell you honestly whether the rate is realistically within reach, and what it would take, before you commit. We don't promise outcomes.

07Can you provide the address and handle the compliance for me?

Yes, that's the point of the service. We provide the qualifying registered address and keep the address and substance compliance in order, so eligible companies can access the FTP advantages without navigating the rules alone.

08Do you offer physical office space as well?

Yes, alongside the registered address we offer private offices, dedicated desks, premium meeting rooms and mail and reception, for teams that want a physical base in Hainan.

09How does this fit with setting up my WFOE?

The registered address is part of your company setup, we use it to register your WFOE and keep it compliant. See our WFOE setup and registered-address-requirements guides for the full picture, and our 15% tax guide for what qualifying involves.
