Company setup in China
China's parks offer real money to foreign founders, but only in Chinese, by phone and WeChat. We talk to them for you, get every offer in writing and set up your company.
Why us
We're doing it ourselves, in Shanghai, right now.
We're setting up our own company in Shanghai from zero. We started with no contacts, no Chinese phone number and policy documents that exist only in Chinese.
So we've compared the parks, sat in the calls and learnt which offers are real and which ones disappear once you ask for them in writing.
We'll do the same for you: make the calls in Chinese, then tell you in English what was said and what it means.

Translation
Every offer, translated and checked.
Since August 2024, China's fair-competition rules limit what parks can promise individual companies, so we check each offer against the written policy.
