Your WFOE's Registered Address & Office — Handled
Every company in China needs a compliant registered address. Here's the honest picture of what that means — and why you don't need to worry about any of it.
Your registered address at a glance
First, the reassurance: this is our job, not yours
The details below are simply so you understand what's really involved. You won't have to source an office, negotiate a lease, or judge whether an address is compliant — HCSG handles the registered address from start to finish. Read on to know the truth; act knowing we've got it covered.
What a registered address actually requires
The real requirements — explained plainly, so nothing surprises you later.
Every company needs one
A registered address is mandatory to form the company — it's the company's official location of record.
Genuine and verifiable
It must be a real, verifiable commercial address that holds up to checks — a qualifying address that satisfies Hainan FTP substance requirements, not a virtual mailbox on paper and not a leased office you occupy.
Real operations matter
The 15% FTP rate is for companies with genuine local operations, so the address has to support that, not undercut it.
HCSG does
You don't rent or source it — we provide a compliant registered address as part of your setup.
Can you just use a cheap virtual address? The honest answer
A bare virtual address might pass initial registration — but it can fall short when it matters: supporting the 15% tax rate, satisfying a bank, or standing up to a later check. That's the truth, and it's exactly why this is worth getting right. The good news is simple: HCSG's registered address is structured to be compliant and to support your tax position, so you get the upside without navigating any of it yourself. Don't worry about this part — it's handled.
