Common questions 常见问题

Asked before every engagement.

01Do I have to pay all my registered capital in at once?

No. For most businesses there's no fixed legal minimum, and capital is contributed over time into your foreign-currency capital account rather than all upfront. We advise on a credible figure and the timing.

02Can I move profits out of China?

Yes. Routine profit remittance does not need a separate forex approval, the foreign-currency account set up during onboarding handles it. We make sure the accounts are structured so it's smooth.

03In what currency can I inject capital?

Capital can be injected in foreign currency into the capital account and converted as needed. Day-to-day domestic operations run in RMB. We set both accounts up to work together.

04Can my WFOE pay overseas suppliers directly?

Yes, that's a core reason to have a China company with the right accounts. We set up the cross-border payments so paying abroad is a normal transaction.

05Is there a limit on what I can send in or out?

Cross-border flows follow the rules and your bank's processes, and clean documentation keeps them moving. We structure the accounts and guide the paperwork so transfers aren't held up.

06What's the difference between the capital account and the operating account?

The foreign-currency capital account handles money from abroad and your capital; the RMB operating account runs day-to-day business in China. Most companies use both, opened together.

07Does receiving foreign payments complicate my tax?

Earning across borders has tax implications, which is why the setup should be planned with both banking and tax in mind. We coordinate the two so nothing is a surprise.

08Can HCSG handle the whole money-flow setup?

Yes. We structure the accounts, plan your capital injection, and guide your cross-border payments and profit remittance, so your company is usable from day one.
