Can I use my home address for my WFOE?

Generally no, a WFOE needs a compliant commercial registered address. You don't need to find one, though; HCSG provides it.

Can I just use a cheap virtual office?

A bare virtual address may register the company but can fall short for the 15% rate, banking, or later checks. HCSG's registered address is structured to be compliant and support your tax position.

What makes an address 'compliant'?

It needs to be a genuine, verifiable commercial address that holds up to scrutiny, we ensure the one we provide meets the requirements.

What if I later open my own office?

That's fine, you can move to your own premises when ready, and we handle the registered-address change so it stays compliant.

Who deals with mail or official contact at the address?

HCSG manages official correspondence at the registered address, so important notices reach you rather than getting lost.

Can I change my registered address later?

Yes. A registered-address change is a formal update, we manage it for you and keep your records and tax position in order.

Does HCSG's address really work for the 15% rate?

Yes, we provide it precisely so your setup is compliant and your eligibility for the reduced rate is protected. That's the point of using ours. The 15% rate is confirmed through 31 December 2027 and is set to widen, not end, from 2035.

Q: Does my registered address affect my tax rate?

It can. The 15% FTP rate is for companies with genuine local operations, so the address has to support that. We structure yours so it does.

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.
